Cuomo: Trump's move to Florida is a ploy to avoid releasing his tax returns
The Hill ^ | November 1, 2019 | Jessica Campisi

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) said Friday that President Trump’s decision to switch his primary residence from New York to Florida was likely a move to avoid releasing his tax returns.

“My guess is that he was advised by his lawyers that it would help his case not to release his taxes to the Manhattan District Attorney if he could say he was no longer a resident of the state of New York,” Cuomo told MSNBC. “I could see it as a legal tactic, and the timing is coincidental.”

Cuomo added that since many people from New York and other parts of the Northeast move to Florida, Trump is “maybe planning on retiring."

“If anything, I think Donald Trump has alienated many of the people in the state of New York [through his policies]," he added. “To be a real New Yorker, you have to be inclusive. We don’t tolerate divisiveness.”

So now guessing is the standard for news? What goes the media guess the reason for leaving New York might be for the other few hundred thousand people each year?

De Blasio has got to be one of the stupidest people in politics.

Cuomo knows better. Doesn't matter where the President lives now.

And how about the law that NY just changed which was aimed SOLELY at the President and his returns.

Someone should remind Boy Cuomo that more people are leaving new York than entering because of crippling taxes and a miss-managed government. These Libs sure know how to ruin things.

Cuomo is going to learn “don’t bite the hand that feeds you” the expensive way.

Trump may be “planning on retiring”, but maybe not until he finishes out his sixth term in the office of the Presidency.

2040, maybe?

Shove it up your butthole Cuomo! And your little dog Fredo too!

After witnessing you pull a stunt to evade double jeopardy statutes just to send a message to Manafort, I think you and yours need to be buried at sea, no, I take that back, dunked in raw sewage for 24 hours minimum!

If a law was created only against me, while I’m in office, I’d leave the State also.

BTW, I do not care about Trump’s income taxes.
He has done so much for NY that he should be exempt.

Cuomo spinning his crock of $hite. His father had more class than the son but not much. Anyone with money and brains is leaving NY.
