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.
Why not take the Acela? A great train and they could put on a custom made car for her! Very cool.
Just wondering where the youngest Trump kid will attend school in the Fall of 2017..
why not adjust him now...stop with the spoiling...kids adjust much better than adults...
and it would stop the media whores from hounding her and Barron...
Pray for America daily...and for the TRUMP AND PENCE families..
I think they’ve banned helipads on buildings in NYC after 9/11 and a horrible crash years ago.
I can get used to a FLOTUS that doesn’t look like Patrick Ewing!
There’s a 10 mile no-fly zone that surrounds Obama when he travels to Hawaii. There is already a no-fly zone around Trump Tower. I’m just theorizing that Melania would be traveling in a very densely travelled area at rush hour which would necessitate a very large 3D corridor of empty space (in all directions - up, down, left, right) as a no fly zone as she travels to D.C. The number of people inconvenienced would be far greater than the route currently proposed.
We wouldn’t even pay $100 for some of those hideous things she wears but I am sure it was costly where she shopped.
I think you may have transposed your number. Everything I have read is that those costs EXCEED $81 MILLION.
MOOOOCHELLE’s vacation & her entourage to Spain probably cost over $18 million. They used up the floor below the entourage—& the floor above the entourage....plus the floor they were on. That was 3 full floors of rooms in a price Spanish resort.
Did anyone think when the youngest Obama girl reached 12 that Mooch Mom would have to go home to Chicago??? She was only there to be a babysitter, right??? Once you get used to the taxpayers paying for your shit it’s hard to let go of it.”””
Mama Robinson is going to get a LIFETIME pension of $160,000 because Obama listed her as the Official Caretaker of her grandchildren.
Let’s see-—Didn’t have to cook—clean—do laundry—do shopping—do mending—all done FOR HER.
And she gets a lifetime $160,000 pension for 8 years of luxury!!!
Those of us on Soc Sec got a .3% (POINT THREE Percent) soc sec raise this year. For me, that amounts to $48 for the whole year. I worked from age 15 forward & I am now 77. Maybe I should have applied to be a babysitter in luxury in the White House instead of being a bookkeeper.
I have been self employed since 1980. Still doing bookkeeping for 2 clients who pay me & bookkeeping for 2 local Non-Profits who I do for free.
What is this thing you call a VACATION?
NOT a SHORTER COMMUTE!!! Distance is distance....
A QUICKER ONE!!!
Surprised there isn’t a helipad on Trump Tower...

Cannot the media learn to use the correct words?
Short VS Quick.....
GROUND VS FLOOR-—gets me seething every time they do that one!! The GROUND is OUTSIDE——The FLOOR is inside & took a carpenter to help it along.
LOL - 757 a jumbo jet!!
Somebody said Moochie and Obozo actually spent $85 million.
Yes - I’m guessing that on the average, a chopper is much more dangerous than an airplane.
I didn’t read the article, but I’m pretty sure they will just do this to finish out the school year (so Feb, March, April, May, part of June?). If it was me I would get my child into a local DC school in the Fall to keep the family together.
Melania staying at the Trump Tower is troubling to me.
Security.....
I was self-employed for 15 years before I retired. I didn't take a vacation once during that period.
Then I retired eight years ago. The problem is my wife and I raise beef cattle on a farm now. Impossible to leave the farm because one of us has to watch the critters.
My wife takes her 85 year old mom on a week vacation 2-3 times a year so she can spend as much time with her as she can before she's not able. I think that is a good thing.
But somehow, I always seem to draw the short straw and have to stay home to care for the cows. Otherwise, it would be me and my MIL on the trip and my wife staying home. Ain't going to happen. So caring for the cows doesn't sound so bad after all.
I took my first time off in 20 years last fall with a road trip from Florida to Arizona to attend my 50th high school reunion. It was short and fun but I was glad to get back home in my own bed.
Maybe vacations aren't all they're made out to be....
