Is anyone else (both Republican and Democrat or something else) irritated that millions of American tax dollars are going to fund Melania Trump?

I and many other Americans are outraged that Melania Trump's decision not to move to the White house with her husband is costing American taxpayers millions if dollars. There is a petition on Change.org urging for the Trumps to pay for the expenses themselves since they have more than enough money. If anyone is interested the link is

https://www.change.org/p/u-s-house-of-representatives-make-melania-trump-stay-in-the-white-house-or-pay-for-the-expenses-herself?source_location=petition_nav

or you can go to Change.org directly and search for: Make Melania Trump stay in the White House or pay for the expenses herself


I don't know any other way to get the word out to everyone, but this is preposterous. As I said, This effects EVERY American taxpayer, no matter what you party is. So check it out and sign so hopefully there can be a change, Check out the comments while you're there. People are angry and upset. Funds can got to thousands of other sources than this irresponsible gesture. And don't forget to please pass the word!!

sorry but every president 's family goes through the upheaval. it's part of running for president. you win you move. no other president's family has refused to move. why should they. there are great schools in Washington and around the dc area. i assumed he talked to her before he ran so all this should have been worked out when he announced his campaign. i might be more ok with this if he didn't want to cut my healthcare so the government can save a trillion dollars.

@ladycae: just finishing this year only couple months left then she moves. Give them a break. We spending millions on Obama and all previous Presidents as well for secret service and more so why through a fit over this?

@Doctrble: yes millions were spent on Obama's security but a hell of a lot more is being spent so melania and their son can stay in NY. I remember wen clinton had a run way shut down so he could get his hair cut. boy everyone was so upset about that one time expense. he never did it again. this is an ongoing 9-10 mil a day. yet he wants to let people die so he can save 1 trillion dollars. sorry but people's lives are more important than melania and her son staying in ny. and i have a sneaking suspicion it won't end when school is out. i hope i'm wrong but this little voice keeps saying the opposite. I think trump also needs t stay in the wh 7 days week, not golfing in marilago. presidents get vacation time. trump has already used up his for the y
