Trump praises New Jersey as ‘underrated’ as he touts Garden State roots and ties

BEDMINSTER, NJ — President Donald Trump is showing love for the Garden State, calling New Jersey “highly underrated” and touting it as a great place to live—remarks that come as he continues to strengthen his personal and business presence in the state.

“The Garden State is a great place,” Trump said. “I think it’s highly underrated, it’s a great place to be and live, and we all love it.”

Key Points:

  • Trump praised New Jersey as a “great place” and “highly underrated”
  • He owns three golf courses in the state, including his Bedminster estate
  • New Jersey became his second home after he left New York City

Trump officially changed his residence from New York City to Florida in 2019, citing what he called mistreatment and political hostility in his hometown.

But New Jersey remains a major part of his personal and professional life. His Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster serves as his summer base and is one of three courses he owns in the state.

Trump has long-standing business ties to New Jersey, dating back to his Atlantic City casino ventures in the 1980s and 1990s, which at one point included the Trump Plaza, Trump Marina, and Trump Taj Mahal. While his casino empire eventually collapsed, his presence in the state did not fade.

Bedminster has since become a central location for Trump’s political and personal operations, hosting high-profile fundraisers and meetings, including during his presidency and post-White House years.

Now with his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach as his primary residence, Trump often refers to New Jersey as his second home. His praise of the state comes as he continues to fight legal battles in neighboring New York while maintaining a loyal political base in the Garden State.

Trump calls New Jersey “a great place to be,” as his deep roots and real estate ties keep him anchored to the Garden State.
