Sorry, Donalds is from Florida. I believe the US Constitution states that the POTUS/VP have to be from different states.
That is not in the constitution, it has been an unwritten rule that has been followed, but the courts have never even been asked to rule on it. The truth is that claim is a fabricated lie to keep potential nominees from choosing VPs from the same state.
In truth, in the past it has been a smart move to pick a VP from a part of the country one needs to build support from, Thus Kennedy chose Johnson to win Texas, and Reagan chose Bush to shore up the base by picking his closest challenger in the primary. However that reasoning is no longer a viable reason to use in choosing a VP.

The Constitution says that the Presidential electors cannot vote for two people from their own state. That’s why Dick Cheney changed his registration to Wyoming after he became GWB’s running mate. Trump could deal with it by making one of his other residences his official residence.
