The #MAGA leader will jet back to the Big Apple and stay until Tuesday, sources said Saturday. Trump spokesman Jason Miller refused to divulge the purpose of the ex-president’s visit. “Sorry to be a broken record here, but I do not have any additional information on this one,” he said. Trump still maintains his palatial home at Trump Tower in Manhattan although he changed his official residence to Florida in 2019. Former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen mocked his ex-boss, saying he was only returning to his hometown because a larger-than-life golden statue of him isn’t available. “The human Donald must stand in and be put on display for the multitude of NYC followers desperate to rub the belly and pray at his feet,” said Cohen, who is under house arrest for paying hush money to two women who claim they had affairs with the former president. ...
