Since Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration early this year in January, Melania Trump’s decision to remain in Trump Tower was the point of contention for several months. The first lady of the United States was scrutinized for not joining President Trump with over half a million people signing a petition calling for Melania to move to the White House.

According to an NYPD letter sent to congressional members, it cost between $127,000 and $146,000 a day of taxpayers’ money to protect the First Lady and her son while they reside in Trump Tower.

The petition also stated that “The US taxpayer is paying an exorbitant amount of money to protect the First Lady in Trump Tower, located in New York City. As to help relieve the national debt, this expense yields no positive results for the nation and should be cut from being funded.”

The reason stated by Melania for not moving to the White House was so that her son Barron could finish his school year uninterrupted. On Sunday evening, true to her words, FLOTUS moved to the presidential mansion as she tweeted about her arrival with a photo of the Washington Monument as seen from the White House Red Room.
