Two months after her husband moved into the White House, First Lady Melania Trump is still living in the Trump Tower. She says she and her 11-year-old son Barron Trump plan on staying there until the school year is up– at a cost of $126,000 – $147,000 a day. That’s the cost of security for the two members of the First Family, and it is being paid by American taxpayers at a time when her husband is taking money out of programs like the National Institutes of Health ($5.8 billion), the Department of Education ($9 billion), and 60 others.
That’s why more than half a million people have signed a petition demanding that the First Lady get out of Trump Tower and move into the White House with her husband. Or use her own checkbook to pay those huge expenses.
The petition, which was started two weeks ago, is on Change.org, has a goal of reaching one million supporters. The plan is to deliver it to Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren once the goal has been reached.
