According to a piece in the New York Daily News, Donald Trump is not missed by the residents of New York City who are pleased that he has exiled himself to Florida and his golf course in New Jersey after failing to be re-elected last November.

Trump's current status in NYC was summed up by one of his former employees, Trump Org exec Barbara Res, who told the paper, "He used to think he was the king of New York. And now he can't come here without 10,000 people protesting and hating his guts."

As NYDN's Chris Sommerfeldt and Larry McShane wrote, the only things awaiting the ex-president in Manhattan are criminal investigations.


"And so the NYC pariah winters in Florida, with plans to stay in New Jersey this summer. His latest public appearance came way off-Broadway in Greenville, N.C., a full 500 miles south of his old digs and the lingering problems back in his hometown: A criminal investigation conducted jointly by Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance Jr. and state Attorney General Letitia James as well as two defamation lawsuits by women accusing Trump of sexual assault," they wrote before adding, "The Queens-born Trump, the one-time gossip column habitué and tabloid headline maker, remains widely reviled across the city where he was overwhelmingly spurned by his old neighbors last November. Joe Biden of Scranton, Pa., trounced local guy Trump by 1.6 million votes, collecting 76% of the city's ballots."


According to longtime journalist Tom Robbins, Trump was always regarded with a wary eye among locals.

"He was simply the kind of New Yorker where you could never believe a single word that the guy ever said," the journalist recalled. "Every word a lie. A con man. That's Donald Trump. That's exactly who he was."........................................

1. you Know he wants to go back to his tower

And overlook what he thinks he ruled over. Lord knows Melania wants her old life back.

Nope. Unless they sneak him in there he can’t go home again.

6. Agreed

Part of his bloated self-image is that he thinks he was important in the most famous city in the world. That it's surviving and thriving without him is no doubt galling to him.

10. He must really miss the good old days

when he could exit his tower and stroll or be driven to a first-class restaurant or club. His wife must miss her lunch dates and shopping. Somehow New Jersey isn't quite the same.

2. Stand-in Melania

He recently said he hates it here, and likes Russia more. Let him go...

11. He is so toxic

[gratuitous]

12. My word! His own hometown can't stand the former guy?

If only there were some major media outlets in New York City that could have interviewed some locals. Too busy looking for interviews at rural diners and granges, I guess.
