Trump Stuns America... Makes Massive Announcement About The White House (Its Not What You Think) One of the major perks of being elected as president of the United States is relocating your family to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in Washington, D.C. The White House has been home to our countrys great leaders, from Thomas Jefferson to Ronald Reagan. As Yahoo.com notes, the transition may be slightly different for President-elect Donald Trump, whose current home is a $100 million penthouse in midtown Manhattan. Trumps advisers have reportedly claimed he is considering splitting his time between the White House and New York once he takes office. Many speculate that the driving force for Trumps decision will be location. Trumps penthouse is situated on Fifth Avenue, right in the heart of midtown Manhattan, with panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline and Central Park. The 66th-floor penthouse was designed by Angelo Donghia in the 1980s and gets its style inspiration from the French rococo extravagance of Louis XIV and the Palace of Versailles. Trumps home is complete with ceiling-to-floor marble columns and floors, crystal chandeliers, massive Greek sculptures and plentiful 24-karat gold accents. This is not the first time a president has decided not to stay in the White House all the time. George W. Bush spent much of his time on his ranch in Crawford, Texas. He spent every summer for his 8 years as president there. Of course, Bush was criticized for his decision, as Trump will likely be. Some Americans are already speculating Trump will have a difficult time cutting ties with his businesses.
