Donald Trump is planning to spend as little time in the White House as possible, according to reports. The president-elect's preference for his $100 million New York penthouse has called into question who will pay for the 90-minute commute to the capital by helicopter.
During the campaign trail, the businessman would often fly back late at night to his gold-bedecked luxury home in Trump Tower so he could wake up in his own bed. The New York Times claimed that Trump is already having discussions with advisers about how many days of the week he is required to spend in the White House.
He has reportedly told them he would like to spend time in New York whenever he can. Melania is understood to be expecting to make the move to Washington. But the couple's 10-year-old son, Barron, is midway through a school year at the private Columbia Preparatory School, in Manhattan. It has been reported that the 10-year-old could actually remain in New York with his grandparents and stay at his current school.
Trump is likely to spend most of the week in Washington, returning to Trump Tower or his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach on weekends.

Cool.
I wouldn’t want to live in the swamp either.
If this story is true, which I have my doubts, I don’t think Trump fully appreciates the difference in Secret Service protection he will receive as President compared to when he was a candidate.
And the wife and kids can have a more normal life. Just commute!
WHo paid for A**hole Obama (jet fuel) to campaign for Shrillary?
Cost? Wouldnt it be cheaper than using Air Force 1 for everything?
Get the ENTIRE Congress to stay in their districts. Go-To-Meeting works just fine for their business.
I agree. A logistical nightmare for the Secret Service. Furthermore, I think Marine One is at more risk from a SAM.
MARINE ONE sitting atop TRUMP TOWER?
Cool!
Is there a helipad on top of Trump Tower?
Trump’s a Commutist? Who knew?
Do that an he will depopulate Trump Tower and kill the retail business in the lobby. People who can afford to live and shop there will not take kindly to having to go through Secret Service screenings every time they come or go, they’re not going to want to put up with the 24x7 protesters, they aren’t going to want to deal with the traffic of the Presidential motorcade.
WELL SAID!
Great Post!
DONALD TRUMP DO NOT DO THIS UNLESS YOU ARE SUICIDAL.
That will be a Yuuuugge pain if he drags his security bubble back and forth on a almost daily basis. The flight takes about 90 minutes each way, but the President has a huge footprint wherever he goes. It would suck to be in HMX-1.
