While Trump’s announcement is welcomed by many Texans, it raises questions about his previous declaration of residency in Florida. Some may wonder why he has chosen Texas over Florida, given his ties to the Sunshine State. Despite Florida being a Republican stronghold, it appears that Trump has developed a preference for Texas as his retirement destination.
If Trump were to make Texas his future home, he would join former President George W. Bush, who resides in Crawford, Texas. Overall, Trump’s expressed desire to retire in Texas highlights his affinity for the state and its residents.
