MELANIA TRUMP DC TO NYC COMMUTE SHORTER THAN YOURS
tmz ^ | 1/18 | tmz

Posted on 01/18/2017 7:33:08 AM PST by RummyChick

Melania Trump will get from the White House to Trump Tower faster than your average big city commuter takes to get home -- and she's doing it by plane, chopper and automobile. TMZ broke the story ... Melania will stay at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave Friday and Saturday night and then return to Trump Tower Sunday with Barron so he can continue his school year in NYC. It's going to be quite the whirlwind trip home. Our sources tell us Melania will drive in a motorcade from the White House to Andrews AFB in Maryland: 20 mins. Then she'll hop on a 737 or a 757 (similar to Trump's jumbo jet) to NYC's LaGuardia Airport: 45 mins. From there, they'll dodge bridge and tunnel traffic by taking a helicopter to Manhattan's Chelsea district: 15 mins. Their journey ends with another motorcade for the 2.5 mile ride to Trump Tower: 10 mins. All told, Melania's looking at a 90 minute ride. No carpool necessary. It's good to be the First Lady.

Your $18 million number looks really low. I've seen numbers recently for the Obama vacations in eight years in office of $96 million or thereabouts.

Anybody out there have a current, more accurate cost of their total vacations?

From the Article (probably fake snewz again)

She will do a WEEKLY commute- plane to DC- 2 or three days-
Then back to New York- big deal-

To be with Barron - might stay 2 nights at the white house... might stay away longer.. looks like they will use Trumps plane-(guessing) doing this till they find another school to move him... I say - let the kid go to the best school!- if it is in New York, so be it-

The MSM , trying to Make up News

Sheetheads are trying to generate a class distinction between the Trumps and the public, even though Ebola & Co lived more ostentatiously and Trump earned the money himself that they’re spending, while Ebola lived high on OUR nickel. Azzhats.

Somebody posted $85 Million. I think that is the correct figure. My initial one was way low.

Its war. We will be at war with the media for the next 4 or 8 or 16 years if we are lucky.

They will never stop or let up. Neither they nor the Dems will ever recognize Trump as President and will carry on a war of lies, intimidation and subversion against him.

This will be like the 1860s in words and demonstrations instead of bullets and cannon balls.

First Ladies are fair game apparently. Have been for a while.

Unless you're unelected rights-thieving collectivist busybody scum. Then it's all-fawning all the time.

The $85 million looks more like it. Because when I first read the figure recently, I thought to myself, these leeches spent almost $100 million on tax-payer funded vacations and I haven’t been able to go on vacation but once in the last 20 years.

Now see, this is why I don’t need to be rich.

I don’t like the act of traveling. Just thinking about getting in and out of so many conveyances makes me grumpy.

More ostentatiously? Why, according to a Brazilian lady who was mourning the great Obama family leaving, Moochelle was the most humble FL in history, a smart lawyer who wore 100$ dresses...where she got that ridiculous figure I don’t know...LOL! There are stupid people all over the world.

I wonder what the cost would be to put a helipad on Trump Tower. My hunch is that buildings are built with helipads in mind and that they usually aren’t installed as an afterthought.

But the Freeper community may know otherwise. :)

Maybe she can go be their maid now. I’m sure they’re in the market for one.

IMHO I’d rather this info not be published for the safety and security of the Trump family.

Well, some of the stuff she wore, if you were told she paid even $100 for it, you’d be shocked. Maybe she was inferring from that.

You can’t use interior airspace in Manhattan like pre 911

Anybody recall the Panam heliport atop the building over GCS

I flew in with my dad as a boy mid 60s

Amazing

When I lived in Manhattan everybody visited I took on the chopper tours from the downtown heliport

Well worth it

I think east River heliport is closest to her home at 34th street

But I agree a chopper seems best commute time to me

205 miles

An hour in a nice helicopter

She’d need series escort in the sky with middles and shields and chaffe just in case

That reported plan is probably just one of the dozen ways of transporting them back and forth. Security-wise you don’t want to take the same route each time.

LBJ used to fly AF-1 into Austin, TX and then helicopter to his ranch or lake house for the weekends. We’d see 4-5 helicopters flying over on Friday afternoons.
