For the second straight day, President Donald Trump vented online about New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and state Attorney General Letitia James, this time focusing on the latter's investigation of the National Rifle Association.

"People are fleeing New York like never before," Trump tweeted Tuesday morning. "If they own a business, they are twice as likely to flee. And if they are a victim of harassment by the A.G. of the state, like what they are doing to our great NRA, which I think will move quickly to Texas, where they are loved."

"Texas will defend them & indemnify them against political harassment by New York State and Governor Cuomo," Trump continued. "So many people are leaving New York for Texas and Florida that it is totally under siege. First New York taxes you too high, then they sue you, just to complete the job."

In April, the New York attorney general opened an investigation into the NRA's tax-exempt status. Soon after, the group's then-president, Oliver North, announced he would step down.

1. Alabama/Mississippi awaits your relocation, Trump. (sorry, Dem Alabamans or MS residents)

I'm sure NY will shed no tears when they see your posterior departing.

2. Well, if he and the NRA didn't cheat so much, the AG wouldn't have to bother them.

Gee Willikers, I won't be able to sleep at night, knowing he is upset and ready to move.

Just stay away from the Midwest. You'd never like it here.

3. "People are fleeing New York like never before"

To which New Yorkers respond, "Hope that includes you."
