Trump says poor treatment and high taxes prompted permanent residence change

President Trump confirmed on Twitter Thursday night that he would be moving his permanent residence to Palm Beach, Fla., blaming local New York leaders who the president argued had treated him “very badly.”

In a series of tweets, Trump wrote that the Empire State would “always have a special place” in his heart, while adding that “few have been treated worse” by its leadership despite paying “millions” in taxes.

….this decision, but in the end it will be best for all concerned. As President, I will always be there to help New York and the great people of New York. It will always have a special place in my heart!
