The local cost of protecting President-elect Donald Trump and his family while they’re in New York City is more than $1 million every day, NEWSMAX reports.
According to a CNN report, the New York City Police Department is playing a key role in the Secret Service’s protection plan of the Trump family. And that high price tag will be there for a while, since first lady Melania Trump and the couple’s 10-year-old son Barron will stay in Manhattan when Trump takes office in order to keep the child in school at least through the end of the school year.

The Federal Gov’t does reimburse NYC for these expenses.
Plus the NYPD is getting plenty overtime through this. Great for the cities economy.
(The 5th Avenue mess maybe is not so good for economy).
that sum is still less than what the taxpayer spent on obamas (and his mother in laws) vacations…
it is still less than spending on Barack, his wife & children on the outings, vacations, golfing, sightseeing the entire world on taxpayers cheshbon
So what can we the taxpayers do to reduce this expense?
What, are they paying each cop $1000/hour? Do the math!
Have him fly back and forth everyday on a private helicopter it might be cheaper.
