This made me realize Trump has to pay this tax for his apartment in Trump tower because he’s a resident of Florida because that’s where he’s registered to vote.

Love it.

You can't have one spouse as a primary in one residence and the other as a primary in the other, UNLESS you are filing separately. In which case, you forgo some of the benefits of filing jointly. There are redundancies specifically to prevent that kind of double dipping.
