Trump Was Always a Joke in New York (Page 3): As a Florida resident I would like to see the president go back to New York and take the several million New Yorkers in my state with him.

As a Florida resident I would like to see the president go back to New York and take the several million
New Yorkers in my state with him. New Yorkers have polluted and contaminated the great state of
Florida for way too many years.

He will not be able to stop NY from getting his tax returns by moving.

disenfranchise millions in favor of empty states.

If those states were so empty, you probably would have the food you eat today and the economy produced by those few self sufficient people, who have most likely worked more hard for their income than you ever have had too do.

Agra business is taking over, the family farmers are getting squeezed out with the help of our paid for politicians.

I believe you are mostly right on that position. Most, if not all politicians end up with much more money than they had before they joined Congress. We should go back to what the founders of this country wanted. Politicians were only supposed to be in Congress for a short time and then return to the job they had before.

Unfortunately the country is too big now for part timers. But we could limit them to two consecutive terms.

In the 1980s, when life in New York City was an endless struggle to die of natural causes, Donald Trump thought he was on top of the world. It took the presidency for him to learn that he’d always been a citywide joke. It’s unfortunate that no one told him so back then, not even the true legends of New York: In 1983, when I worked for ABC Sports, I was with Howard Cosell as he interviewed Trump. When we left Trump Tower, Cosell said, “I’ve never met anyone luckier to be born rich.” To this day, Trump recalls Cosell fondly. If he only knew.

Now President Trump has chosen to leave New York for Florida: The New York Times reported last week that Trump had filed a “declaration of domicile” in September stating that Palm Beach will be his permanent residence.
Actually, chosen is the wrong word. “Fleeing” before he’s excommunicated is more like it. But still, in the annals of New York history, it’s important to acknowledge that Trump’s change of address marks the end of a totally insignificant era.
Clearing up the chaos of traffic and protests on Fifth Avenue that his presidency has caused will be the only impact his move has on the city. It’s not like he’s been paying much in the way of taxes. And the t***h is, Trump, the lifelong New Yorker, was never a New Yorker. He was a tourist.

In his 70 years as a resident, his feet barely touched pavement. He probably still thinks the subway takes tokens. He probably never waited in line for a movie, got sick on street-fair Belgian waffles, or felt the thrill of beating everyone to a cab in the rain. He never had a vicious landlord or a predatory boss, and he sure as hell never had the ultimate New York experience of suffering in silence.

I grew up in Queens, just two miles and a few hundred income-tax brackets from Trump. As kids, both of us dreamed of living in Manhattan and being real New Yorkers. In the ’60s, one of us had parents who got us tickets for Leonard Bernstein’s Young People’s Concerts. In the ’70s, one of us took the Q17 bus and the F train to Madison Square Garden and paid off ushers to get into sold-out Knicks games. In the ’80s, one of us lived in a studio apartment, barely making rent while somehow going out to dinner every night, then h*****g out at dive bars.
Which brings up another consideration: With all its public t***sportation, New York was always the one city perfect for drunkenness. Yet the only vice Trump never had was drinking.
He lived in the greatest city in the world and missed out on everything. The same will be true for Florida.

Trump will hole up at Mar-a-Lago—what are the odds he can t***slate the words Mar-a-Lago into English? Ten to one against?—where he’ll be sequestered from almost all things Floridian. The Category 5 hurricanes and rising ocean floods on perfectly sunny days won’t touch him. He won’t sit by the pool chatting about his grandkids; he won’t reconnect with people he knew in high school 60 years ago; and he won’t rush to make the early bird at the best burger joint in town only to see an elderly diner hike down his pants and give himself an injection before the appetizers arrive.

His only true Floridian experience will be golf with a small ring of dev**ed right-wing entertainers/athletes/televangelists only too happy to look away as Secret Service agents dutifully kick the president’s ball on the green.

If he happens to venture out in public, he’ll realize that he’s almost as despised in southern Florida as in New York, because hordes of his neighbors will be ex–New Yorkers. Even worse, they’ll be old ex–New Yorkers well beyond the point of keeping their opinions to themselves. Their attitude upon seeing him will be: To err is human, to forgive … asinine.
Trump isn’t given to self-reflection, but while milling around the grounds of Mar-a-Lago in a Palm Beach sweat, he might just have a grand epiphany about summer in New York, all year in Florida, and the rest of his life: It’s not the heat; it’s the humiliation.

You're wrong dude. I was born, raised and still live in NY and Trump has always been a folk hero here both for his outstanding success and for his quiet magnanimity. I guess one sees what one wants to see but you appear to be looking at Trump through a very thick lens of envy; really sad.

He was never accepted by the real billionaires, he could not get a football team, he was a loser at everything he tried

Since the first p**********l e******n, the winner of the presidency has been determined by the E*******l College. If you do not like this method, you have the option of
1). Moving somewhere with an e******n process more to your liking. (I understand Caracas is just lovely this time of year)
2). Dying so you don't have to worry about it. (My personal favorite).
3). Begin the laborious and time-consuming process of amending the Constitution; (a process designed by men a lot smarter than any modern-day Liberal).
4).Doing nothing, (other than whining about the 2016 e******n, as a warm-up to the whining you will do when Trump wins again in 2020.
