New York should seize Trump Tower
The Washington Post ^ | 12/12/2016 | Catherine Rampell

Froufrou Fifth Avenue resembles a police state.

Officers wielding gigantic guns guard Trump Tower, where President-elect Donald Trump conducts all transition business, and soon lots of presidential business, too. Shoppers patronizing the stores, cafes or public gardens inside must endure layers of security screening. Streets and sidewalks are barricaded; traffic is snarled; and costumed buskers milk money from the looky-loos obstructing the entrances to Gucci and Tiffany.

The challenges of securing this 58-story building in a high-density neighborhood will, by Inauguration Day alone, drain $35 million of local taxpayer money. Who knows the additional costs to commerce and property values?

I like that idea. Kick Obama out of the WH early so Trump can move in now. Problem solved!

What about the cost of the UN? Maybe kick them out and the net cost to NYC would be zero

Probably at a monumental caliber and equipped with enormous magazines clips.

Corrected to be consistent with the Washington Post liberal style guide.

Maybe the Trumps should kick the Obamas out of the WH early so he can conduct his business from there? /s

That's what the Zero crew said about Bush. Good for the goose and all...Get to steppin', Zero.

The government should seize Trump Tower right after it shuts down the Washington Post.If you begin flouting the Constitution to do the former , why not do the latter?

Apparently there are several snipers carrying their rifles in cases that go up the Tower everyday. They talk about it on the Live Cam in the Trump lobby.
A little old person like me finds it interesting.

“...by Inauguration Day alone, drain $35 million of local taxpayer money.”

Less than one of Moochelle’s vacations.

Speaking of vacations. Are the Obama’s planning a Kwanza holiday trip to Hawaii this year?
