Lifelong New Yorker Donald Trump has officially changed his primary residence from Trump Tower in Manhattan to Mar-a-Lago in Florida. Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York is one of the people who is glad to see the high-profile resident go. "Good riddance," Cuomo tweeted. "It's not like [Trump] paid taxes here anyway... He's all yours, Florida."
Cuomo is a born-and-bred New Yorker whose father, Mario Cuomo, also served as governor. Though the governor is politically at odds with Mr. Trump, the two actually have something in common: they were both born in Queens.
While many assumed tax reasons were the impetus behind the move, Geraldo Rivera suggested Mr. Trump is just doing what lots of older New Yorkers do: leaving snowy winters, as well as higher taxes, behind.
1/4 Trump moving to Florida-most retiring New Yorkers wish they could leave northern winters & taxes behind to relocate to SunshineState, especially when you’ve got a Fla pad like #MaraLago. It snowed last night here in Ohio. If Sol didn’t have school, We’d move to Florida too.

New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman reports the move may also be calculated to help Mr. Trump's reelection bid. "Some of Trump's advisers see electoral benefit to him being a Florida resident ahead of 2020," she tweeted after breaking the news. "His campaign manager, [Brad] Parscale, started pushing for it a few months back."
