George H.W. Bush was the last president to serve with adult children. I don’t remember any discussions about the cost of protecting his kids.
From the NYTimes: "A lawsuit filed by Melania Trump depicts her heightened profile as a “unique, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity” to make millions of dollars in business, once again raising questions about the relationship between President Trump’s official role and his family’s business interests.”
She’s alleging in this law suit that, as a result of being First Lady, she can clean up and and the amount she can clean up by is reduced by the defamation of a tabloid.
Second, from his “official” Twitter account (@potus), DJT slams Nordstrom for dropping his daughter’s shoe line(!?):
My daughter Ivanka has been treated so unfairly by @Nordstrom. She is a great person -- always pushing me to do the right thing! Terrible!

"In a letter sent today to President-elect Trump, a bipartisan group of organizations and individuals with expertise in governance issues called on Trump to divest his business enterprises or face serious conflicts of interest and Emoluments Clause problems as president.”
"The 29 signers to the letter included Republicans and Democrats, liberal and conservative groups."
After Trump lies about the new, still-under-development, Air Force One:
Boeing is building a brand new 747 Air Force One for future presidents, but costs are out of control, more than $4 billion. Cancel order!

It’s still being designed, so it could be more or less, but the current estimate is less by a quarter.
