Yes, you are over-reacting, as usual.

So this is the nit you choose to pick about our new Orange Overlord? That he chooses to live in his own sumptuous home sometimes? Imagine that!

And his 10 year old might want to have a normal life staying in his own school? Selfish bastard!

You guys are unbelievable.....

R U serious????

Bush spent weeks at a time at his ranch in Texas

Reagan spent weeks at a time Rancho del Cielo his western white house

Nixon spent weeks at a time in his home in San Clemente.

Of course... these guys made their money BEFORE they became president, not afterward while selling influence and being on the grift.....

“The traffic is being engineered,” a former top NYPD official told The Post, explaining a long-term plan that began under Mayor Mike Bloomberg and hasn’t slowed with Mayor de Blasio.

“The city streets are being engineered to create traffic congestion, to slow traffic down, to favor bikers and pedestrians,” the former official said.

“There’s a reduction in capacity through the introduction of bike lanes and streets and lanes being closed down.”

Man.... Trump even has DeBlasio under his thumb.

LMFAO!

Maybe Chris Christie will get the NYC transportation chief position?

Trump Tower at least has a helipad that Marine 1 can use, right? Anyone remember that from The Apprentice? Obama screws up Chicago traffic less than Biden because they have to close expressways for the VPs motorcade.

Won't the Oval Office be under repair next year? Yes he has reported that he will be moving to the White House but the family will be staying till the end of the school year.

Without access to the Oval Office, why wouldn't he prefer to use the office he has for years to conduct business?

its an outrage that the president may spend time hundreds of miles from the capital. That is a two day carriage ride!

we should at least wait until travel and communication can be done more efficiently before we allow such isolation from the government.

This is a pretty sick move by Trump you think he would have decency to stay at a Holiday Inn Express near the beltway until inauguration..

Don't be ridiculous, the only reason that would happen is if he owned the hotel and could make the press corp, SS, and rest of his staff stay there too.
