Orange Man takes up new permanent residence in Florida
2019-11-01
[NYT] He came of age in Queens, built Trump Tower, starred in "The Apprentice," bankrupted his businesses six times, and drew cheering crowds and angry protesters to Fifth Avenue after his election. Through it all, President Trump ‐ rich, bombastic and to many Americans the epitome of a New Yorker ‐ was intertwined with the city he called his lifelong home.

No longer.

In late September, Mr. Trump changed his primary residence from Manhattan to Palm Beach, Fla., according to documents filed with the Palm Beach County Circuit Court. Melania Trump, the first lady, also changed her residence to Palm Beach in an identical document.

Each of the Trumps filed a "declaration of domicile" saying that the Mar-a-Lago Club, Mr. Trump’s resort in Palm Beach, will be their permanent residence.

The president confirmed the decision on Twitter after The New York Times reported on the move, saying that he would "be making Palm Beach, Florida, our Permanent Residence."

A spotlight on the people reshaping our politics. A conversation with voters across the country. And a guiding hand through the endless news cycle, telling you what you really need to know.

"I cherish New York, and the people of New York," he added, "and always will."

But he didn’t have much nice to say about the public officials of New York.

"I have been treated very badly by the political leaders of both the city and state. Few have been treated worse," he said, describing his decision as the "best for all concerned."

#12  Smart move. Florida doesn't have a personal income tax.

#10  Save the whales, man. Steyer thinks we should have solar powered flashlights. He'll import them from China. Dunno how we're supposed to cook though. Dunno about New York but California's state income tax is an insult that just keeps coming.

#4  You are not alone Murcek. I can remember going to the top of the Tower in Claremont and seeing nothing but miles and miles of orange groves.

#3  Make fun of us here in Florida. Every year when I file my taxes and pay no state income tax, I smile. Of course the lefty Gillum lovers want to change that, but we are going to keep voting against that.
