Because she is costing the taxpayers a fortune to secure Trump Tower.
The whole troop of gifted goons is costing us a freaking fortune. Over 150 million has been set aside if not more to protect those idiots. Take it out of Trumps fortune, not my pocket.

Well that is part pf having a Billionaire family in the White House. I am ok with it. Also Washington DC offers parents the option of a Homeschooling Program, also when the Trump family travels to Florida, that State also allows Homeschooling.
1). Congress may have had a bit to do with that, also. "But but but ... Obama!" is deflection.
2). I expect the First Lady will not end up moving, and I don't care if she chooses not
to. Their family dynamic is not honestly something we should be involved in-high cost or not.
I'm perfectly happy staying out of their family dynamic. However, I am not happy about the taxpayers footing the bill. If she wants to stay in Trump Tower and not live in the White House, then the Trumps can reimburse the country for the SS costs of maintaining a separate household.
I expect there are plans in the works to move the White House onto the back 9 at Mar-a-Lago instead.
Mar-a-Lago doesn't have a regular golf course...just a teensy little pitch and putt affair. Because Trump wanted a Trump course nearby, he built the Trump International Golf Club (an 18 hole course + a 9 hole course) over on the mainland, west of I-95...about a 10 minute drive from Mar-a-Lago.

Should we then have billed the Obamas for the cost of protecting the Hyde Park area house in Chicago?
Secret Service policy allows the POTUS to designate a primary residence other than the White House.
If your objection to that is that Trump Tower is more expensive to protect than the main non White House residences of other Presidents..>>>>>>>> Who died and made you the arbiter of Secret Service policy?
Answer: No one.
And I don't believe for a second that any difference in cost is what primarily bothers you.
What truly bothers you is that a single penny of taxpayer's money is spent on Trump because you hate him.

Reason: REWROTE SECOND PARAGRAPH, AND ADDED THE REST OF THE POST FOLLOWING THAT PARAGRAPH
We care because New Yorkers and Floridians shouldn't be paying for extra security because a presidential couple decides to maintain 3 homes. There is a perfectly good secure house in Washington DC that can house a president and their immediate family.
Fake outrage. All Presidents get security wherever they go. We elected him because he had multiple homes.
It's a sign of success
Where was all this outrage from the left when Obama spent like a drunken sailor and raised the national debt to the highest its ever been of past presidents combined.
Congress, not Presidents, control the purse strings.
