Keeping Up With The Kushners

[LoLo]

Random woman came into the resort today and asked Ivanka for a selfie.
"Sorry, it's my Shabbos today"

Hmm, wasn't there a report of them having their photos taken on Shabbos?

Can we expect a trip report from Dan on Air Force one anytime soon?!!

I love all these numbers. It always costs a boatload of money to keep the first family safe.  Depending on who they are and what the did, is when the media decides to publish it.

Most of the secret service didn't stay at the Four Seasons, so that would be even more.

This is just hotel cost for Secret Service, the pesach program cost the Kushners probably double that!

I'm always looking for an interesting topic to give for a Shavuos shiur at 3:00 AM.  I was thinking this year of talking about karov lamalchus and what that would be a heter for Ivanka and Jared.  The are many interesting מראה מקומות here.

Of course. THat is their prerogative to spend their own money. The point of the article was how much it cost the government. Missing from the article is the context of how much is the typical amount the government pays for First Family vacations. How much did the Obama family vacations cost? You will not find that on NBC just as you will not find this on FOX

I'm not sure the govt pays for the Kushners vacations, but they definitely pay to protect her on her vacations. After all it's their job to protect them wherever they go. Though Obama or Trump's personal vacation would definitely be completely free.

What is your source that the Govt pays for the President's vacations? I don't think it is true.

Interesting, so the President pays for lodging and food.
Didn't know that.

Was just saying the article makes it sound much worse than it has to be, they would get protection wherever they go. If they stay home it also costs them and they do have a right to go wherever they choose and the govt is still required to provide the necessary protection. My original comment was meant to be a joke that the pesach program cost more...
