Trump recently weighed in on a controversial proposal that's been making waves in financial circles—the idea of relocating the NYSE to Dallas. His take? Unbelievably bad for New York.

The former president didn't mince words when discussing the potential move. According to reports, Trump expressed strong opposition to uprooting one of the world's most iconic financial institutions from Manhattan, arguing it would devastate the city's economic landscape.

This debate touches on broader questions about where major financial hubs should operate and how cities compete for prestige in the global markets. While some argue centralized trading infrastructure could benefit from relocation, others—including Trump—contend that NYC's established position, infrastructure, and legacy make it irreplaceable for hosting the NYSE.

The commentary adds another layer to ongoing discussions about financial markets evolution and the importance of established trading centers in the broader economic ecosystem.

NYSE moving to Dallas? Wake up, everyone, this is ridiculous... How can New York's status be so easily moved?

ngl, the New York relocation of the exchange is just ridiculous... Why does it have to be such a hassle? Honestly, it just can't move.

Is the NYSE moving to Dallas? That's hilarious, do they really think Manhattan is nothing? Moving the NYSE? This guy really dares to think about it... The financial ecosystem of Manhattan disappearing overnight? That's unrealistic. Can Dallas replace New York? What a joke, hundreds of years of accumulation can be moved just like that? Thinking moving is simple is a big misconception—infrastructure, talent, networks... which one isn't Manhattan's moat? There are quite a few people who want to undermine New York's financial position, but it's all talk. NYC's status can't be shaken by Dallas; there's simply no comparison. Manhattan's mature ecosystem can't be moved; even if it were, it would just be an empty shell.
