NYPD will spend $42.5M protecting Trump family by end of June

The NYPD expects to shell out $42.5 million by the end of June protecting President Trump, his namesake tower and his family, officials said Monday.

Trump’s one-day trip back to the city earlier this month, his first since taking office, cost the city $1.2 million, deputy commissioner Vincent Grippo told the City Council at a budget hearing.

Meanwhile, the city racked up $7.3 million in overtime bills from inauguration day through the end of March protecting Trump Tower, where Melania Trump and son Barron continue to live, even though President Trump has not been back since taking office. That’s on top of the $23.8 million spent guarding the tower between Election Day and the inauguration.

The city is stressing less about the tab since Congress approved enough cash to cover it, though the appropriation is nationwide and New York will still have to apply for it in competition with other spots where Trump spends his time.

2. Russia should be paying its fair share

To Protect to the Republican draft dodger in chief.

No way should New York or American taxpayers be burdened with The exorbitant gourmet expense of protecting the traitorous Republican self proclaimed billionaire.

3. Easy Solution: No Pay... No Cops.

Just stop sending ANY police protection until any overdue bills are caught up.

4. I like reading the locals bitch about it on The Gothamist site.

But they really do have my sympathies. It's so unfair to walk-up businesses and taxpayers
