New Yorkers don't want Melania Trump in the city.
Almost 100,000 people signed a petition requesting that New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio refuse to pay close to $1 million per day to protect President-elect Donald Trump's wife, The Independent reported.
"The New York taxpayers refuse to pay over $1 million a day so she can stay," they said. "If this decision has been made, between the two of them they should be the ones to pay for it. Not New York taxpayer dollars that could be used on roads, schools, transit, sanitation, new jobs and other expenses that the city has."

The pettiness and nastiness of the left know no bounds.
There’s at least 100 million Americans that don’t want any of the Obamas in the country.
I’m not fond of having 50 million democrats, real and imagined, living in my country. But I put up with it (so far).
Why so upset, libs? You guys love throwing money away. Why is government spending suddenly an issue? Worse comes to worse you can raise taxes and borrow some more, like you usually do.
....and how many don’t like Warren Wilhelm Jr.
running their city?
Three hundred and twenty million people in this country - they will ALWAYS be able to make news stories from anything they can find that “offends” someone. That is the state of the media today.
USSS is the lead on the detail, but NYPD is going to have a piece, mostly in locking down Trump Tower.
They hate immigrants
“How much does Hillary cost when she visits the city?”
This is not a matter of concern to the 100,000 who signed the petition. They were all #NeverTrumpers to begin with, and this is just a small matter of spite.
Jealous little trolls.
If it is costing New York City a million dollars a day, surely they can cover the cost from squeezing out a few of the cost overruns from other boondoggle enterprises and shady side deals. Or rooting them out entirely.
Have these people have NO respect for the office of the Presidency at all?
Oh noes! Not a petition! Whatever will we do? (Wringing hands.)
These are the same people who think nothing of wasting $20 million on frivolous recounts.
But $1 million to protect the First Family drives them up the walls.
Its all about priorities.
Except in your inconsistency.
So what?
I call BS on that million a day lie.
Here is a Craigslist posting today, asking people to sign a Change.org (a Soros site) to get electors to change their EC vote to one opposing Trump:
favorite this post - Sign Petition to Stop Trump! hide this posting Sign Petition to Stop Trump! go to this website to sign the petition to get the electoral college to vote against Trump! Most of us didn't know they can change their vote; but, many of the electoral college are wanting to stop him and want to see if there is enough support from Americans. https://www.change.org/p/electoral-college-electors-electoral-college-make-hillary-clinton-president-on-december-19
Here's another Change.org petition to sign:
favorite this post VOTE ONLINE FOR HILARY IT'S NOT TOO LATE PLEASE READ!!! (HELLO NYC!!!) hide this posting VOTE ONLINE FOR HILARY IT'S NOT TOO LATE PLEASE READ!!! COPY AND POST IN AS MANY CITIES AS YOU CAN IF YOU SUPPORT!!! THIS POSTING HAS A RIGHT TO BE UP HERE IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT DON'T READ IT. SIMPLE AS THAT UNDERSTAND? On December 19, the Electors of the Electoral College will cast their ballots. If they all vote the way their states voted, Donald Trump will win. However, they can vote for Hillary Clinton if they choose. Even in states where that is not allowed, their vote would still be counted, they would simply pay a small fine - which we can be sure Clinton supporters will be glad to pay! We are calling on the Electors to ignore their states' votes and cast their ballots for Secretary Clinton. Why? Mr. Trump is unfit to serve. His scapegoating of so many Americans, and his impulsivity, bullying, lying, admitted history of sexual assault, and utter lack of experience make him a danger to the Republic. Secretary Clinton WON THE POPULAR VOTE and should be President. Hillary won the popular vote. The only reason Trump "won" is because of the Electoral College. But the Electoral College can actually give the White House to either candidate. So why not use this most undemocratic of our institutions to ensure a democratic result? SHE WON THE POPULAR VOTE. There is no reason Trump should be President. "It's the 'People's Will'" No. She won the popular vote. "Our system of government under our Constitution says he wins" No. Our Constitution says the Electors choose. "Too many states prohibit 'Faithless Electors'" 24 states bind electors. If electors vote against their party, they usually pay a fine. And people get mad. But they can vote however they want and there is no legal means to stop them in most states. PLEASE SIGN AND SHARE! https://www.change.org/p/electoral-college-electors-electoral-college-make-hillary-clinton-president-on-december-19?recruiter=3064740&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=facebook&utm_campaign=autopublish&utm_term=mob-xs-no_src-reason_msg
So who cares what they think about this?
!00,000 people out of a nation of 320,000,000 people is a drop in the bucket. Donald J. Trump has done more for New York City and state then all the Democrat Party vermin combined!!!
With robots an online petition can get as many signatures as the originators want in less than 24 hours. Online petitions are propaganda.
They will just have to stop paying to house all those illegals!
“$1 million per day sounds kind of high to me. How much does/did NYC pay to protect the Clintons?”
Better yet, how much are New Yorkers paying for the “protection, health care, etc” of the illegals in their city?
Guess we will never know the answer to that one.
