We All Know Ivanka Is First Lady

According to a widely reported pre-inauguration estimate, New York City was spending $1 million a day on police assigned to keeping the Trumps and Trump Tower safe.

Also, what's the additional cost to taxpayers for T-Rump weekending at Mar-A-Lago? And running around the country holding campaign rallies for his next run? The "Thank You" tour.

Can't wait to hear - and by hear I mean read - the whining he's going to do in Kentucky about the Comey/Rogers hearing.

No wonder he has to cut Meals on Wheels.
