President-elect Donald Trump may not move into the White House


It is rumored that President-elect Donald Trump plans to spend as little time in the White House as possible. He prefers to commute from his $100 million New York penthouse by helicopter - the question is 'who will pay for the 90-minute commute to the capital.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 14 November 2016.
It may be recalled that during the campaign trail, he would often fly back late at night to his gold-bedecked luxury home in Trump Tower so that he could wake up in his own bed. It seems he is already checking out with advisers about how many days of the week he is required to spend in the White House because he would like to spend time in New York whenever he can.
It is natural that the president-elect is reluctant to leave his 30,000 sq ft Manhattan apartment. It is spread over three floors and boasts of breathtaking views of Central Park. The luxurious penthouse has been inspired by the Palace of Versailles and has floor to ceiling marble and walls garnished in 24-carat gold.
In addition, the over-the-top decor begins with the gold and diamond front door that greets visitors and continues throughout, with ceilings painted with scenes from classical Greek myths. Moreover, golden cherubs, crown molding, lamps and ornate vases help to complete the posh modern-day palace.
