(7,587 posts)if you read the article you will see it has to do with the agreement Trump had with the county when he renovated it to be used as a club and hotel. It falls in a different tax category if he uses it as his primary residence then he will have to pay taxes accordingly, hence the dispute.

(17,857 posts)They don't get a say in where they live. At least while he is President, can't he just rent a cheap apartment and declare that is his primary residence?
After he stops being President, I could see it becoming a problem. Still I would assume he could establish a nice residence right next to Mar-a-Lago? That is assuming he doesn't flee the country to avoid prosecution.
