And he tells us why - from the New York Post:
This is President Trump’s ‘Why I’m leaving New York’ essay
Donald Trump is leaving New York.
President Trump on Thursday night explained his decision to ditch the glitzy world of Midtown skyscrapers and — eventually — flee to his Mar-a-Lago resort at the conclusion of his White House tenure.
The Queens native penned a series of tweets about his departure from Trump Tower after reports said he filed documents to change his primary residence to Palm Beach, Florida.
“I cherish New York, and the people of New York, and always will,” Trump wrote.
“But unfortunately, despite the fact that I pay millions of dollars in city, state and local taxes each year, I have been treated very badly by the political leaders of both the city and state.”
This from New York's Governor:
“Good riddance,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said after news broke of Trump’s impending exit. “He’s all yours, Florida.”
New York does not realize what a benefit Trump is - he turned the city around in the 1970's. It will be interesting to see the downward slide when he leaves. Nothing sudden but still, inexorable. Those Amazon jobs would have been nice - decent tax base too. Thanks AOC.
