Trump, Lifelong New Yorker, Declares Himself a Resident of Florida
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/31/us/politics/trump-new-york-florida-primary-residence.html
The president filed a declaration of domicile last month saying that his property in Palm Beach will be his permanent residence.
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. Trumps resort in Palm Beach, will be their permanent residence.

Fine. Let him sit there and drool and watch the sea rise around his big-ass, empty house.

(63,221 posts)He got lucky so far this year, but there is no guarantee that a property on such vulnerable land is going to be around for much longer.
Also, 90% of New Yorkers despise him. He could never go back there. He's going to eventually have to end up living in Russia.

(6,341 posts)...to do so. Think it may also be linked to the sale of the lease of his hotel in DC. Who wants to bet he's also breaking up his company a bit further quietly, adding shell companies, putting in contingencies that transfer ownership, etc., makes it harder to go after his assets.
