The Con is really worried that New York will discover his financial Con

That residence move to Florida is fascinating

[Captain Zero]

1. Are subpoenas harder to serve in Florida?

he seems to have a lot of those showing up at his door.

[secondwind]

2. I think to be a FL resident you are required to live in FL for six months and ONE DAY....

I wonder if he knows that.

3. He will likewise have to have a judge declare Mara Laga a "PRIMARY RESIDENCE" & not a "BUSINESS"

if he's trying to shield the property from forfeiture due to NY legal actions.

Neither residency requirement is going to be easy for Trump to establish.



Philip Reines has proposed an alternate theory to his relocation: that Trump has been told that he can't dump Pence and put someone (say Ivanka) on the ticket if both are NY residents (constitution specifically forbids both President and VP being from same state). I really think the financial argument is most likely, but this did give me pause. If he knows his progressive dementia signs will render him unlikely to make it to or through a second term, this might be his way of promoting his "little Princess" ( ). A wildcard theory, for sure, but....

4. Interesting

5. does make serving state subpeonas really difficult as this is reason why many crooks take up

residency there.

6. That was my first thought also.

He feels more protected in Florida.

7. Rump thinks FL is a different country, that doesn't have an extradition treaty with the US.

Like Pacino said to Cazale in 'Dog Day Afternoon', 'Montana's not a country, Sal.'

8. He wants to be in the protective arms of "his" governor (DeSantis) when it hits the fan...

9. Taxes......

Florida has no state taxes so nothing is ever filed. Less paper trail there... Plus.. It is closer to the Bahamas. Adam Clayton Powell knew the advantages of that.

10. His business

is in NYC, so if (after he is no longer The Criminal in Chief) that is where his income is earned - he not only has to pay NYS income tax but NYC income tax. He could live in Timbuktu and it still wouldn't matter. Plus, he still owns his apartment in the city so has to pay property taxes on it.

NYS already has years of his taxes so moving to Florida doesn’t help him with their tax fraud case(s) either.

11. He can't get away. The NY AG is hot on his ass. He will suffer many losses.

And he will be impeached. Even if the Senate doesn't convict, IMO an impeached president will not be re-elected. His brand is mud in the US. Many buildings are taking his name off their facade.

He's going down.
