Trumped Up

Just read a story on the msn news website (msn.com) which said, in part, " . . .  it costs $500,000 per day for nearly 200 police officers to protect Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, which houses the Trump family business headquarters and serves as the home of the first lady, Melania Trump, and the couple’s son, Barron. [Senator Schumer] estimated the cost could rise to as much as $183m annually." And if those weren't enough apples not to like, it goes on to say that "At current estimates, even a four-year Trump administration could be heading for a billion dollars in taxpayer-borne costs – an eight-fold increase of the $97m Judicial Watch, a conservative watchdog group, estimates it cost to protect Barack Obama over the two terms of his administration."

Um . . . seriously? As in enough to send a mission to the Moon and back? That is so far beyond fucked up that fucked up looks like a Neanderthal standing next to that Homo sapiens sapiens. Isn't this where the French Revolution got traction?

(it's cake, btw)
