First we're paying to protect the FLOTUS and her son at the Trump Tower because he needs to finish his school year in NYC, now the Pentagon has to pay 1.5M a year to rent space at the Trump Tower? How is this OK?

....It's nice to know where your tax dollars are going, isn't it?

Hillary Clinton has been billing the government for her home in Chappaqua since she bought it. Trump has already said that he was donating all of the rent he collects back to the treasury.

Yet more fake news.

There has been no agreement to pay Trump anything for that space.

OP must not have bothered to even read his own article.

B.S.

Though it is customary for the government to pay rent to the property owners for space used by the Secret Service, the Clintons declined that rent.

Trump could decline the rent as well.
