President Trump on Twitter made an announcement about his family’s permanent residence Thursday night:
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, the White House, is the place I have come to love and will stay for, hopefully, another 5 years as we MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, but my family and I will be making Palm Beach, Florida, our Permanent Residence. I cherish New York, and the people of…..

Gov. Cuomo likes when wealthy people leave New York State. It's his thing. https://t.co/IZQFyOM2T4
