$1 million a day for Melania at Trump Tower, $3 million for Rumplethinskin on weekends.

52 weeks x $10 million = $520 million

52 weeks x 4 = OVER $1.5 BILLION

That means, Repug thugs only. Try getting one if you aren't a bona-fide right-winger. All protests will be outside and he will never know.

He's going to have to dig deep into his wallet to outdo the protest volume.

What if they gave a rally and more protestors showed up than supporters?
What if the protestors outnumber the rally goers but he spins it that they were all supporters?

Paid less, taxed more, worse education for lower mid class and poor, worse infrastructure, no healthcare, and Trump having more vacations on our taxes. That is the way it is with all dictators.
