Billionaire Ken Griffin reaffirmed Citadel's move to Miami at the Milken Conference, citing his feud with NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani over tax policy changes.

Billionaire and Citadel CEO Ken Griffin repeated his company's intentions to "double down" on moving to Miami in the wake of his feud with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

"When we moved from Chicago, there was a debate between New York and Miami," Griffin said at the 2026 Milken Institute Conference on Tuesday. "It's unquestionably true that we made the right choice. I'll leave it at that."

Griffin was responding to Mamdani's viral Tax Day video, which singled out Griffin's Manhattan penthouse while announcing a new pied-à-terre tax.

"Now what the mayor of New York has made clear to my partners, and principally my New York partners, is that we need to double down on our bet in Miami because we want to be in a state that embraces business, embraces education, embraces personal freedom and liberty," he said. "And that embraces people having an opportunity to live the American dream, a dream of earned success, not a dream of distributive handouts that leave people dependent on government for their lives and their livelihoods in a way that takes away their dignity and honor."

"We've seen a mass exodus of business leadership from California to Texas and Florida. Mamdani's making it very clear. New York doesn't welcome success," Griffin added.


Please, please take it all to Miami! Smart for you and all of your employees.

Employees would see an automatic "pay raise" of let's say 10% to almost 15% just on reduced taxes alone!!!
 
So the orange one originally said the new ballroom will cost $200 million, and that went to $250 million, then $300 million, then $400 million.

AND IT WOULD NOT COST TAXPAYERS A SINGLE DIME!!!

Now republicans want to have approved 1 BILLION DOLLARS toward the project.

You can’t make this chit up.

Trump says his ballroom will cost $400M. So why are Republicans adding $1B to spending bill?

Meanwhile, Sen. Chuck Grassley’s office says the money does not explicitly go to the ballroom, although it does go to “the East Wing Modernization Project.”

But the top Republican senator behind the text says it’s not for the ballroom. This comes despite Trump and the White House stressing the ballroom’s necessity for security after the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner last week.

On Monday evening, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) released the legislative text for its part of the proposed reconciliation bill.



Republicans hope to pass an additional spending bill to fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement as well as Customs and Border Protection after Democrats opposed including funding in the annual Homeland Security spending bill.

But the bill also sets aside money $1 billion between the fiscal years of 2026 and 2029 “for the purposes of security adjustments and upgrades” within the perimeter of the White House Compound to support enhancements by the U.S. Secret Service “relating to the East Wing Modernization Project.”

But Grassley’s spokesperson said the money would not go toward the ballroom, pointing to part of the legislative text that says “None of the funds made available under this section may be used for non-security elements of the East Wing Modernization Project.”



“It provides funds for Secret Service enhancements, including, but not limited to security enhancements related to the East Wing Modernization Project,” Hannah Akey, a spokesperson for Grassley, told The Independent over email. “This necessary funding will ensure all presidents, their families and their staffs are adequately protected.”

Akey said the money would be for securing the White House compound and how it must be secured during the current threat environment.

All smoke and mirror bullchit. Trump had claimed from the very beginning that the new ballroom would have state of the art security including but not limited too drone proof roof, ballistic resistant glass, medical facilities, etc.

The orange person went from projected cost of $200 million to $400 million in less then 30 days.

AND SAID IT WOULD NOT COST TAXPAYERS A SINGLE DIME!!!

And now congress wants 1 BILLION DOLLARS of our taxpayer money???

And the orange one wants Powell in jail over the renovation project of the Federal Reserve building???

You can’t make this chit up
 
If the left could tone down the rhetoric and stop taking shots at DJT, security upgrades would not be necessary, correct. Your sick left dems keep on yapping their garbage.

Pretty simple.

Wishing more people were not so narrow minded. Let's start here, and I might even think about what you are crying about.

House GOP Report (2023): A report from the House Committee on Homeland Security, utilizing data from the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), suggested the annual cost could be as high as $451 billion to care for the increased population of migrants.

Remember, the border was wide open during 2024 so that number is probably more.

$451 Billion for illegals

$1 Billion for White House security.

Think about it.

So the 1 billion dollars will be used for supporting security enhancements relating to the EAST WING MODERNIZATION PROJECT. Our orange president had all security enhancements INCLUDED in his $200 million, to $250 million, to $300 million, and now at $400 million. Now they want an additional 1 BILLION for security alone??

Once you acknowledge the $451 billion, I would be more than happy to opine on your ongoing rant of the issue.

One point has to be made for this conversation. If the left could tone down the rhetoric and stop taking shots at DJT, security upgrades would not be necessary, correct? Your sick left dems keep on yapping their garbage.

Thoughts on the $451 billion?
