WORDS MATTER



“Vacate Trump Tower: People want Melania Trump to be forced to leave New York City,” from Salon: “The exorbitant cost of keeping Melania and Barron Trump in their gold-plated penthouse in New York City has inspired thousands to sign a petition asking that they be forced to leave town. The viral Change.org request, titled ‘Make Melania Trump Stay in the White House or Pay for the Expenses Herself,’ already has more than 175,000 signatures. The petition is a response to the drain on city dollars brought on by the stunning security costs — up to $146,000 a day — of keeping Melania and Barron in Trump Tower, according to New York City Police estimates … That figure would shoot up another $10 million if the president were to start coming home on weekends, which he hasn’t done since entering office.” “As to help relieve the national debt, this expense yields no positive results for the nation and should be cut from being funded,” the petition reads.


"I said, 'how about this: Why don't we get together, we'll go to another place, and you'll get another job, you won't mine anymore. Do you like that idea?' They said, 'no, we don't like that idea, we love to mine, that's what we want to do.' And I said, 'if that's what you want to do, that's what you're going to do.'"  --  Donald Trump

“Our county voted for [Trump], so I’m not sure they quite understand what is going to happen,” said Julie Edwards, the county’s economic development coordinator [Trumbull County, Ohio]. “I don’t think people realize how much we rely on these services. I don’t think people are making the connection between cutting the HUD funds and paving our streets or building new affordable housing.”
