With their reputation in tatters after serving as senior White House advisors, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner are looking to move somewhere other than New York City when Donald Trump's term ends in January.

"Town officials in Bedminster, N.J., have the plans for a possible Trump family future, or at least the blueprints: a major addition to Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner's 'cottage' on the grounds of the Trump National Golf Club, four new pickleball courts, a relocated heliport, and a spa and yoga complex. As Manhattan awaits word of the Trump family's return, the first daughter and her husband appear to be making preparations elsewhere: a Garden State refuge behind guarded gates, perhaps, or Florida, where President Trump is renovating his Mar-a-Lago estate," The New York Times reported Tuesday. "But New York now seems inhospitable and nowhere in their plans." ...........(more)

and they were totally unprepared for losing. Now they're scrambling on where to go. Must say I'm enjoying their dilemma. I do wish prison was the next stop.

Trump for 8, then Jarvanka for 16, ad nauseum.

They were shooting for a dynasty. Good thing we got them out now.

which involves "security upgrades" to Merd-a-Lego.

So yeah, we're paying for at least part of it.

Somerset County (Bedminster) doesn't strike me as having the same excitement and glamour and connections as Manhattan, or to a lesser degree, Palm Beach.

Trump took us by barely what? Two percent?

Miami Dade grossly underperformed but we actually flipped other parts of the state like Jacksonville.

For God’s sake, we don’t need pessimistic attitudes like yours.

so it's thought the big Manhattan kick in their behinds may combine with that to shift them that direction.

Poor things, though, their hotels are almost entirely in blue cities, where their brand is golden showers, not glam. They only have more coming in than going out in two, both in Manhattan, but those income streams, previously dwindling, are about to drop significantly. And golf course investments are "aging out," far more closing than opening.
