Report: President Trump Files Paperwork To Make Florida Primary Place Of Residence

PALM BEACH (CBSMiami) – It appears President Donald Trump and the first lady think Florida should be considered their main place of residence.

They've filed paperwork in Palm Beach County Court asking to declare Mar-a-Lago as their primary home.

Trump tweeted late Thursday that he cherished New York. But he added that "despite the fact that I pay millions of dollars in city, state and local taxes each year, I have been treated very badly by the political leaders of both the city and state."

The filing was first reported in the New York Times, which says the Trumps are making the move for tax reasons, just like many other New Yorkers do.

Trump, who was born in New York, says "it will always have a special place in my heart!"

It does not appear the court has approved the first couple's request, yet.
