According to CoinMeta, Trump stated on Tuesday that the two-residence tax in New York City “must stop,” and said he was exploring whether the federal government has the legal authority to prevent this disaster before it’s too late. This tax targets non-primary residences of wealthy property owners, which Trump called “unworkable in the United States and must be stopped immediately” on social media. His commitment to federal intervention came after a judge temporarily halted the policy. The New York City government quickly filed an appeal in an attempt to overturn this ruling. The mayor’s office has not responded to this. The mayor stated that he will do everything in his power to defend the city’s position and emphasized that this additional tax will help fund safer streets and stronger schools. Trump described this tax as “a dangerous political experiment being conducted in New York” and said that as president, it is difficult for him to sit by and do nothing.
