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

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!!

The taxpayers also pay rent to the Clintons for the space the Secret Service uses on the Clinton's Chappaqua property so they can protect the Clintons.

There was also protection for the Bush and Clinton children when they lived away from home.

In today's hostile world, imagine the risk of being a high profile political leader or government official. Regardless of whether a Democrat or Republican.

Considering the history or crazies targeting the White House, I'm not convinced it would be safer there.
