How Donald Trump will retrofit Midtown Manhattan as a presidential getaway
Washington Post ^ | 11-18-16 | Marc Ambinder

Posted on 11/20/2016 2:54:57 PM PST by bigbob

Donald Trump is a creature of New York. He ran against Washington and called it “a swamp.” During his campaign, he often flew home late at night so he could wake up in his own bed. His 10-year-old son is enrolled in a Manhattan private school. So it’s no wonder Trump is reportedly considering spending time in New York whenever he is able — presumably on weekends.

If so, his home, in the penthouse of Trump Tower, on W. 56th Street and Fifth Avenue, will be the epicenter of an iron curtain that will wall off much of Midtown from the rest of the city. Creating a permanent, sterile environment inside a 58-story, multi-occupancy building on one of the busiest streets in one of the busiest cities in the world poses an unprecedented challenge for the Secret Service and the military.

Despite all the garbage they're published, this article is not biased and is quite informative.

He could give his jet to Melania, and hump around in AF1. What a life, eh? Too cool!

Hey, I support President-Elect Trump and if means traffic gets snarled, that is the price to pay ~ please, no more whining from the WAPO.

WAPO has proven many times that it was - and now especially IS an irrelevant sheet not worthy to line a pigeon’s cage!

Well unless they also write all the comments, the WaPo writers and editors aren’t the only whiners and irrelevancies.

I would LOVE to see the New York folks grinding and gnashing their teeth when they get near Trump Tower.

HUNH?

That article was full on snark, anti-New and New Yorkers, drooling over Obama and the Moooch, and biased as all get out!

Describing how much it cost for the Obamas to have their famous “date night” is drooling? Get a brain.

No...YOU get a brain!

It was a drooling bit about the Obamas and snarky re the Trumps and New York. Reading comprehension isn't your forte.

It's your own damn fault for living in the BIG APPLE, where there is EVERYTHING!

I went to New York a few years ago, just to see why it's called the BIG APPLE.
New York is FABULOUS! No other word for it.

It’s not a bad read at all.

I’ve said long before this article, that Trump should rarely be at Trump Tower. It’s simply to dangerous for both him and the tenants.

Moving his transition team to his golf club was a smart move. I hope this becomes his getaway home while he’s President.

I think Trump is playing head games again. Watch and enjoy another chapter. :-)
