The idea of the POTUS being paid and residing on state property is that it reduces the need for the POTUS to have conflicting interests. Instead of applauding his efforts they should be met with concern.

Also, his whole not living at the WH thing is actually a hefty financial burden of the taxpayers asthey will have to provide the security and infrastructure of the WH at his alternate location.

All of this.

Plus closing down streets in New York when he wants to be there.

Now my question would be if he has divested himself of all control of his "empire" (giggle) why does he have to be in New York at all?
