Donald Trump arrived in New York City on Monday morning for a number of high-profile meetings—but his homecoming wasn't exactly the celebration most presidents receive upon returning to their place of residence.

Instead, the Manhattan billionaire and real estate mogul turned commander in chief will face countless protests organized by the so-called "resistance movement" during his three-day visit, as the city braces for a potentially catastrophic impact on the subway system—which is already facing what Governor Andrew Cuomo calls a "summer of hell."



The president's trips to his Manhattan residence since assuming the presidency, as well as his months spent living in Trump Tower after winning the 2016 election, have already cost the city over $56 million, according to Bloomberg's interactive analysis.

The New York City Metropolitan Transit Authority warned residents that Trump’s visit this week could worsen the city's subway crisis, which prompted Cuomo to officially declare a state of emergency in June. ...........................

5. New Yorkers hate him

We know what an asshole he is and has always been.
He isn't wanted here and he knows it. That's why he hasn't been back.

8. Someone on FB asked why I disliked tRump so much...

I told him that I grew up in NY, and moved back after I got out of the Air Force, and that tRump was hated by most New Yorkers after he pulled the stunt with destroying the Bonwit-Teller friezes so he could get a 2-week lead on building his tower of opulence while the Met was trying to conserve them. Then there was his tax ripoff of the city after he bought the Hotel Commodore and kept 2 sets of books; his non-payment of the undocumented Polish immigrants that did a lot of the work on T-tower; and with all of the other things he did that showed exactly what kind of a narcissistic slimeball he was

He got about 10% of the vote in NYC - showing that those that know him the best, hate him the most.

9. He's just so tacky

A total wanna be in a city that really doesn't like that. He so obviously had no class then and now no matter how much money he had.
