Trump Reveals Where He Plans To Retire

At the National Rifle Association’s National Convention in Dallas this weekend, former President Donald Trump captivated an enthusiastic Texan crowd with a revelation about his future plans. The announcement followed an endorsement from the NRA, marking another significant moment in Trump’s longstanding relationship with the South and gun owners.

“I want to move to Texas and I want to retire in Texas… a lot of people are moving to Texas,” Trump said according to The Daily Mail. Trump’s affinity for the state is well-documented, having visited the state 18 times during his presidency and 13 times after his tenure in the White House.

While it remains unclear whether Trump’s statement was a definitive commitment or a gesture of camaraderie to his Southern supporters, it aligns with his previous decision to relocate from New York to Florida during his presidency. Trump’s shift to Mar-a-Lago in Florida was not only for its appealing climate but also for its favorable tax benefits—a practical move that he might be considering again with Texas.

At Saturday’s convention, Trump, alongside Governor Greg Abbott (R-TX), rallied thousands of attendees, urging them to cast their votes for Trump in the upcoming 2024 presidential race to safeguard their Second Amendment rights. The convention hall was buzzing with energy as Trump and Abbott addressed a sea of NRA members, many decked out in iconic red caps and even attire adorned with images of the former president.

“The NRA has stood with me from the very beginning, and with your vote, I will stand strong for your rights and liberties,” Trump said according to The Texas Tribune. “I heard it a few weeks ago that if gun owners voted, we would swamp them at levels that nobody’s ever seen before. I think you’re a rebellious bunch, but let’s be rebellious and vote this time.”

The NRA officially endorsed the 2024 presidential frontrunner during the event. In a strategic move, Trump’s campaign also kicked off the “Gun Owners for Trump” coalition, signaling a focused drive to mobilize gun rights advocates for the 2024 election showdown.

Trump also expressed his admiration for Governor Abbott, who gained national attention and was recognized as one of Time magazine’s 100 most influential people after he initiated the transportation of migrants from the Texas-Mexico border to major cities including New York, Chicago, and Denver.

“We’re also grateful to be joined by a very special man. He’s a hot politician, very hot,” Trump remarked about Abbott. “You’re a hot politician, Greg. You know why he’s hot… because he’s doing a good job.”

Trump warned an audience supportive of the Second Amendment that Joe Biden would confiscate their firearms if re-elected. “They want to take away your rights. I know that better than anybody. They want to take away my rights better than anybody…worse than Alphonse Capone. Al Capone was indicted twice.”

“Now more than ever, we must fight to protect our Second Amendment rights. According to the NRA, Texas has passed more significant Second Amendment protections than any other state,” Gov. Abbot said over the weekend.
