Residents of Washington, D.C.’s ritzy Kalorama neighborhood are in an uproar over Ivanka Trump’s Secret Service detail taking up too many parking spots on the block.
Ivanka Trump, daughter of President Donald Trump, recently moved into the Kalorama neighborhood with her husband, Jared Kushner, and their three young children, but the warm welcome they initially received is quickly wearing thin because of all the Secret Service SUVs, The Washington Post reports.
Two “No Parking” signs were installed in front of the Trump-Kushner house. The real explosion, however, happened Monday after city workers put up two more “No Parking” signs right beside the residence of the Friedmans, who live next door.
For lawyer Rhonda Friedman, this apparently was the last straw.
“I started screaming,” Friedman told The Washington Post.
After numerous emails, Friedman finally persuaded the city to remove those signs from in front of her house.
Still, that hasn’t placated the block of Tracy NW. While Kalorama residents seem willing to put up with the Secret Service detail around former President Barack Obama, they are less willing to do so for Trump and Kushner.
“Are you kidding me?” asked Marti Robinson, yet another lawyer on the block. “This is the adult child of the president. Sometimes there are 10 cars out here.”
Neighbors are complaining about metal fences, loud Secret Service agents talking on the street, metal barricades.
Sometimes, to the residents’ horror, agents even change their shirts in public.
“We’re just a little story in a cosmic, bigger story, which is the whole Trump phenomenon and how they push their way around,” said Toby Moffett, a former Democratic representative from Connecticut. “You have people coming and going. You have three or four, sometimes five SUVs that are very big and that aren’t from the neighborhood.”
This isn’t the first time Trump and Kushner have caused an upset with their presence in the neighborhood. The Wall Street Journal reported earlier in March that the landlord of Trump and Kushner’s house is suing the U.S. government over mining leases, which could place Kushner in an awkward position, given that he works as a close adviser to the president.
Well, if every liberal on the planet was not desperate for the opportunity to eliminate by extreme prejudice any person even remotely associated with Trump, they probably could use a few fewer dozen security people
exactly
The political
class is not special
“Sometimes, to the residents’ horror, agents even change their shirts in public.”
I would guess that these guys are just a bit more buff than the average metro sexual husband in the neighborhood. They might be the complainers.
What? The D.C. socialist yups aren’t using public trans or riding bicycles to work? What gives?
Some say that Toby Moffett is mad because the Kushners aren't into "The Pizza Scene", and disrupt "access" for Toby...
If you’re not upsetting a liberal then you are not doing life right.
Hey, what about the Sec. Service detail for the Obamas and his house maid Valerie Garrett, right in the same rich white liberals’ ‘hood?
Someone should investigate, to see if the Hussein’s can sublet their lease; many ritzy places do not allow for that.
Not if Jarrett is sleeping in the same bedroom.
OMG! Pass the mind bleach! :)
Tobey Moffet. That name makes me puke. A leftist ahole from the 70’s, a one-termer if I remember correctly. He was so dumb that they put his photo in the dictionary to show what the word “dumb” looked like.
I think I ran against him at the very liberal Dept. of Education back in the 70’s for a job as the DOE liaison to college campuses. Needless to say I didn’t get it or the whole campus violence/Marxist takeovers wouldn’t have happened.
Whether Moffet got it or some guy named “***Pepe” got it is asirrelevant as were their efforts on campus.
Even when the Left wins, they are still losers.
If residents around Obama were upset about him I doubt the news would report it.
Heh. Love. It.
Looks like Toby is a founder of Connecticut Citizens Action Group. Super liberal progressives. Trump has him spinning in his grave and he’s not dead yet. Health care and EPA high on his list.
And......?
SS agents in Kalorama? Like that’s never happened before! Where do Barry’s security agents park?
I must've missed that.
