Ivanka Trump’s Secret Service detail roiling her D.C. neighbors
Ivanka Trump’s neighbors delivered a handwritten note welcoming her to their gilded Northwest Washington Zip code after she and her husband, Jared Kushner, moved from New York with their three small children.
When the president’s daughter did not respond, Rhona Friedman, an attorney who lives next door, understood.
Ivanka was busy settling in, she figured.
But Friedman and other neighbors were far less patient when two “No Parking” signs appeared outside the TrumpKushner house and Secret Service SUVs began swallowing spots on Tracy Place NW, their block in the Kalorama neighborhood.
Their exasperation peaked Monday when city workers installed two additional “No Parking” signs — not in front of Trump’s house, but outside Friedman’s residence next door.
“I started screaming,” Friedman said.
Then she began writing emails.
On Friday, after discussions between the Secret Service and aides to Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D), city workers removed the signs outside Friedman’s house, liberating that portion of the block for any mere mortal seeking a spot for their car.
Score one for the resistance.
With their long history of hosting Washington dignitaries, Kalorama residents were largely unfazed when they learned that the Trump-Kushner clan, as well as former president Barack Obama and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, were moving to the neighborhood after President Trump’s election.
....
But the security surrounding the six-bedroom house that Trump and Kushner rent?
“Are you kidding me?” asked Marti Robinson, a trial attorney who lives across the street. “This is the adult child of the president. Sometimes there are 10 cars out here.”
