Nope. He changed his primary legal residence to Florida, and we’re not taking him back. Florida man forever.

He hasn’t lived in Queens in decades. He’s still from there.

If it read “man from Queens” then it would be technically correct, but still misleading. He changed his residence in 2019. He’s a Florida man now.

Hardly, the colloquialism holds. This is a common usage.

Semantically, sure, but what about clarity? How often is Elon Musk referred to as “South African man?”

Just like Hank Hill is a new yorker

He's a Florida man now.

It would be fun if the article didn't mention his name either. This is probably the most efficient thing against hubris stricken people. Like an old lady meets him on the street and says: I think I known you from somewhere... Do you work at mc Donalds?

Edit: nah the article does say his name

Despite the conviction, Trump was released on his own recognizance Thursday, being spared a trip to Rikers Island, the home of the city’s notorious jail complex which happens to be part of the same borough the former president was raised in.
