NEW YORK/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/VETS: “President Trump may have officially declared himself a permanent Florida resident, but he keeps returning to his hometown. On Monday [11-11-19], Mr. Trump will be kicking off the 100th annual New York City Veterans Day Parade at Madison Square Park in Manhattan, the event organizers announced on Wednesday [11-6-19]. He will be the first president to participate in the parade. Mr. Trump is deeply unpopular in the city and his visits are often met with protests. On Saturday [11-2-19], Mr. Trump popped into Manhattan for an Ultimate Fighting Championship event at Madison Square Garden. The reaction when he arrived: loud boos, and some cheers. The president will give an address at the park. He had been slated to lay a wreath at the Eternal Light Flagstaff memorial inside the park, the traditional site of the city’s Veterans Day ceremony but the White House decided that he would not after all, according to a parade spokesman, Pat Smith.”
