Mar-a-Lago neighbors to Trump:
Spend your post-presidency elsewhere.

Next-door neighbors of Mar-a-Lago, President Trump’s private club
in Palm Beach, Fla., that he has called his Winter White House,
have a message for the outgoing commander in chief:
We don’t want you to be our neighbor.

That message was formally delivered Tuesday morning
in a demand letter delivered to the town
of Palm Beach and also addressed to the U.S. Secret Service
asserting that Trump lost his legal right to live at Mar-a-Lago
because of an agreement he signed in the early 1990s when he converted
the storied estate from his private residence to a private club.

The legal maneuver could, at long last, force Palm Beach to publicly address whether Trump can make Mar-a-Lago his legal residence and home, as he has been expected to do, when he becomes an ex-president after
the swearing-in of Joe Biden
on Jan. 20.

It also could create a legal headache for Trump because
he changed his official domicile to Mar-a-Lago, leaving
behind Manhattan,
where he lived before being elected president and
came to fame as a brash, self-promoting developer.

(Trump originally tried to register to vote in Florida using the
White House in Washington as his address, which is not
allowed under Florida law.
He later changed the registration to the Mar-a-Lago address.)

In the demand letter, obtained by The Washington Post,
an attorney
for the Mar-a-Lago neighbors says the town should notify
Trump that he cannot use Mar-a-Lago as his residence.

Making that move would “avoid an embarrassing situation”
if the outgoing president moves to the club and later has to be
ordered to leave, according
to the letter sent on behalf of the neighbors, the DeMoss family,
which runs an international missionary foundation.

Even before he was president, Trump created ill will in the town
by refusing to comply with even basic local requirements, such as adhering to height limits
for a massive flagpole he installed, and frequently attempting to
get out of
the promises he had made when
he converted Mar-a-Lago into a private club.

“There’s absolutely no legal theory under which he can use
that property as both a residence and a club.”
Another nearby Palm Beach homeowner who has joined the
fight against Trump and had previously tangled with him over Trump’s attempt to seize
a private home to expand his Atlantic City casino.
“Basically he’s playing a dead hand. He’s not going to intimidate or bluff
people because we’re going to be there.”

The current residency controversy tracks back to a deal Trump cut in 1993
when his finances were foundering, and the cost of maintaining Mar-a-Lago
was soaring into the multimillions each year.

Under the agreement, club members are banned from spending more
than 21 days a year in the club’s guest suites and cannot stay there
for any longer than seven consecutive days.
Before the arrangement was sealed,
an attorney for Trump assured the town council in
a public meeting that he would not live at Mar-a-Lago.

Placing the limitations on lengths of stays assured that Trump’s
property would remain a private club, as he had promised,
rather than a residential hotel.

Lawyer of Mar-a-Lago neighbor tells Trump to find another place to live.

Palm Beach County lawyer Reginald Stambaugh is representing the DeMoss family, who lives next door to Mar-a-Lago. For years, they’ve dealt with increased security, Marine One landing next door, as well as a flood of people and MAGA fans in the area. The idea that President Donald Trump is going to live at his exclusive club is a step too far..

The DeMoss family’s lawyer explained that they recognize the uniqueness of the situation and encouraged Trump to choose one of the many homes for sale in the area.

“To avoid an embarrassing situation for everyone and to give the president time to make other living arrangements in the area, we trust you will work with his team to remind them of the use agreement parameters,” wrote Stambaugh.

“Palm Beach has many lovely estates for sale, and surely he can find one which meets his needs.”

Construction has already started on Trump’s residential quarters at Mar-a-Lago to make it
“safe” for a former president.
That violates the 1993 agreement too.

“As president, I think they gave him certain considerations that they felt were the appropriate thing because of his status,” said New Jersey lawyer Glenn Zeitz, who dealt with Trump in an Atlantic City acquisition.

Stambaugh explained that Mar-a-Lago has benefited from several tax breaks as a business, which wouldn’t apply if it was a residence.

Donald & Melania Trump Might Not Be Calling Mar-a-Lago Home in January
Kristyn Burtt
Mon, December 28, 2020, 2:13 PM MST·2 min read

Donald and Melania Trump won’t be calling Washington, D.C. home for much longer. It was first assumed by many political pundits that the couple would call Mar-a-Lago home, but their Palm Beach, Florida neighbors reminded them of a 1993 deal he signed. The agreement does not allow “any purpose other than club use” for the property, and a club member is only allowed to reside there for 21 days a year. That sent them back to the drawing board to figure out where they will live after Jan. 20, 2021.

It looks like the couple won’t stray far from the club President Trump once dubbed the “Winter White House” — they are now searching for property in close proximity to their favorite spot. “Melania and Trump are talking to brokers about buying a house in Palm Beach, or nearby, as the living space at Mar-a-Lago isn’t big enough, and there could be some potential conflicts,” a source confided to PageSix.

Those conflicts, as pointed out by Palm Beach residents, evidently thwarted the first couple’s plans to settle into Mar-a-Lago immediately after the handover over to the Biden administration. Melania had already drawn up plans to get their residence spruced up for their return to civilian life. “They are definitely renovating his apartment within the Mar-a-Lago Club to make it larger, more modern and comfortable for his use,” an insider shared with People in early December.

While the couple will most likely “stay at Mar-a-Lago initially” to get son Barron, 14, acclimated at his new school, “they are also looking for homes near Mar-a-Lago to purchase,” a source told PageSix.

They won’t be far away from daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner, who recently purchased a $30 million lot in the gated community of Indian Creek Island in Miami. While both Ivanka and Donald plan on maintaining their individual New York City residences, it looks like they are going to make Florida their official home after their time in Washington, D.C. The waters seems a bit warmer in the Sunshine State after a chilly four years in the White House.

‘Shut it down’: Florida lawmaker demands Palm Beach close Mar-a-Lago -- and fine Trump.

President Donald Trump is facing outrage in Florida after his Mar-a-Lago club held a largely-maskless New Year's Eve party as his Mar-a-Lago resort that may have been a COVID-19 super-spreader event.

Trump was reportedly too "embarrassed and humiliated" to attend the celebration and altered
his plans to return to Washington, DC ahead of schedule.

Florida state Rep. Omari Hardy is now calling for
the club to be closed.

"I am calling on Palm Beach County to fine Mar-a-Lago and to shut it down. The County must be assured that this business will comply with our local mask mandate before it is allowed to reopen," Hardy said, as reported by CBS 12.

"I recognize that the President is a powerful person and that his business, Mar-a-Lago, is a daunting target for enforcement, but the law is the law.

The County's mask mandate applies to all businesses in Palm Beach County. The presidency does not confer to the President and his friends a special privilege to endanger the health and welfare of Palm Beach County's residents," Hardy explained.

"I have been in touch with attorney Daniel Uhlfelder. Mr. Uhlfelder is a skilled attorney and an outspoken advocate for better government policy in the wake of this coronavirus pandemic.

He is well known for suing Governor DeSantis for essentially abdicating his duty to govern throughout this crisis.
Mr. Uhlfelder and I have discussed various options for ensuring that the County's mask mandate is enforced and that no business owner is given special treatment," Hardy added.

Scottish Lawmakers Are Trying to Keep Donald Trump Out of Their Country.

The soon-to-be-ex-president may not be able to flee to his UK golf resorts.

Following Donald Trump’s role in inciting a mob to sack
the US Capitol yesterday,
Scottish lawmakers are calling for him to be banned from that country—
a potentially awkward problem for a man who has staked
much of his business empire on his golf resorts there.

Trump started building his first Scottish property,
a new course developed from scratch,
in northeastern Scotland in 2006. He then purchased the legendary Turnberry golf resort
in 2014—and almost from the start has had a bad relationship with locals.

The courses have also lost money by the bucket—
including more than $3.1 million at Turnberry last year—
and Trump’s feuding with neighbors and Scottish officials had reached epic levels
even before he ran for president.

In recent months his problems in Scotland have intensified,
with some Scottish lawmakers calling for the government to invoke an anti-money-laundering tool against Trump to force him to explain how he has managed to afford his money-losing courses for so long.
(Losing money is something Trump has often done,
but rarely for
so long before he drops the project.)

On Thursday, Scotland’s justice minister, Humza Yousaf, tweeted
a suggestion that the United Kingdom ban Trump from entry.

Earlier this week, before the DC mob’s attack on Wednesday,
Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon had already made it clear that
Trump would not be welcome to come golf at his resorts immediately
after he leaves office. Scotland is currently under severe lockdown
restrictions due to COVID-19.

“We are not allowing people to come into Scotland without
an essential purpose right now, and that would apply to him
just as it applies to anyone else—
playing golf is not an essential purpose,” Sturgeon said at a press conference.

Priti Patel, UK’s home secretary, who Yousaf made his appeal to, hasn’t commented
on whether she would block Trump, but did have harsh words for
him on Thursday morning, saying that
“his comments directly led to the violence and so far he has failed
to condemn that violence – and that is completely wrong.”

AND--
the Trumps are being Shunned-- it's just begun;

Swanky Florida country club bars Jared and Ivanka's membership:
Go lunch with fellow 'patriots' at Mar-a-Lago.
The posh private club near the $30 million plot of land
Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump
purchased in upscale Indian Creek, Florida, isn't likely to accept the couple as members, according to sources speaking to Page Six.

"You have to be nominated and make a formal application.
But it only takes one member to object against any new member,
and many members are objecting, particularly after the events at the Capitol on Jan. 6,"
the source said.
"Jared and Ivanka can lunch with their fellow 'patriots' at Mar-a-Lago."

According to the source speaking to Page Six, Indian Creek Country Club members
are "very picky," and the word is that "Javanka need not apply."

In a now-deleted tweet from Jan. 6, the day of the riot at the U.S. Capitol.
__Ivanka called those who gathered at the scene "American patriots."

As as result of the tweet, she became the target of a huge wave of backlash, accusing her of contributing to the incitement that sparked the breaching of the Capitol building.

((bwaa! the trumps are not wanted in New Yprk or Palm beach- they are not wanted in socity, actualy))

Trump Jr., Guilfoyle moving in? Admirals Cove residents not thrilled with the idea.

Donald Trump Jr. and his girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle are planning to spend millions of dollars on two luxurious waterfront homes in Admirals Cove, an exclusive gated community in Jupiter.

But like Trump's father is seeing in Palm Beach, some would-be neighbors in Admirals Cove also don't want a Trump in their neighborhood.

When word spread that the couple had contracts to purchase the two homes on adjacent lots in the community, about 30 residents contacted Peter Moore, general manager of the property owners association.

"About half have concerns about safety," Moore said. "The others have political concerns with what's happened in the last couple of weeks."

One member went further, bringing up accusations of Guilfoyle's improper behavior while working at Fox News, as well as reports that Trump Jr. is under criminal investigation in Washington D.C.for incitement of the Jan. 6 siege on the U.S. Capitol.

"There are news reports detailing improper behavior by Ms. Guilfoyle while employed at Fox News and news reports of possible criminal investigations of Donald Trump Jr.," one resident wrote to the board.

"I believe their membership would bring undesirable notoriety to the club, harm our reputation and have the potential for creating disharmony," the resident said.

On an email thread sent among residents this past weekend, several residents denounced Trump move into their community. One resident described the pair's purchase in the community as "a nightmare."

More:Mar-a-Lago neighbors say Trump forfeited right to live on estate once presidency ends.

Brett Morris, Admirals Club general manager and chief operating officer, said the community "prides itself on being an inclusive community."
As evidence, Morris said members overwhelmingly voted to become a mandatory membership club, meaning when someone buys in Admirals Cove they are automatically approved for membership.

Mar-a-Lago is a 'sad place' since Trump moved
in as members begin quitting:

Author and historian Laurence Leamer discussed
the imminent decline of former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago country club, following reports that residents of Palm Beach, Florida may try to use local laws to prohibit him from living at the complex.

"I know that you live actually in this neck of the woods and you have witnessed the big return," said anchor Alex Witt. "So what happened there and what's happened since Wednesday? Are supporters camping out outside his property there? Are they lining the streets? What's it look like?"

"No," said Leamer who wrote the definitive book on the Mar-a-Lago resort.
"What's fascinating — I've talked to a bunch of people the last couple of days. A lot of people have quit Mar-a-Lago.
They don't want their names to be in The Washington Post or The New York Times, and the list of people that have quit, they've silently walked out. They don't want anything to do with Donald Trump.
And many of the members, they're not going there very often, because it's a very dispirited place. They're not concerned about politics. It's a sad place for Trump to be hanging out. It's not what it was."

"Does that mean that Trump won't also get the money that he gets for those private club memberships?" asked Witt.
"That's going to dwindle as well?"

"You know, these people paid up to $200,000 to get in because he was president," said Leamer.
"I don't think they're going to pay that anymore.
It's just another measure of how his power has declined and even in Palm Beach, where many people were for him, simply because they wanted lower taxes and they wanted a booming stock market. But they're walking away from him.
Even here, people don't like him."

A Palm Beach mansion owned by the Trump family just hit the market for $49 million.

It was previously owned by former president Donald Trump's sister, Maryanne Trump Barry, who sold it to Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump in 2018.

The 8-bedroom home includes a membership to Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, which is right across the street.

A mansion in Palm Beach that's owned by the Trump family just hit the market for $49 million, Bloomberg reported.

The 10,455-square-foot Florida home comes with a free membership to Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club, which is right across the street, according to the Palm Beach Daily News. Known as "Beachouse," the house was previously owned by the former president's sister, Maryanne Trump Barry, public records show. In 2018, Barry sold the home to an LLC managed by her nephews, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., for $18.5 million.

The beachfront house has eight bedrooms, eight full bathrooms, an outdoor pool, and nearly 200 feet of ocean frontage, according to the listing, which is held by Lawrence Moens. Moens didn't immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

After buying it from their aunt, who had used it as a vacation home, the Trump brothers renovated the home and upgraded the furniture, per the Palm Beach Daily News. In July 2018, they put it up for rent for $100,000 a month.

Guy Clark, a Douglas Elliman real-estate agent, told Bloomberg that whoever buys the home will likely be pro-Trump.

"Because of its proximity and its lack of privacy, it would probably be a difficult thing to sell to someone who's not a Trump supporter," Clark said. "It's great for a Trump supporter to own that house and have the accessibility to Trump and his world. For that type of person it's the right house."

The Trump Organization did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

After the end of Trump's presidency in January, most of the Trump family decamped to Florida.

The former president and his wife, Melania, took up residence in Mar-a-Lago mere hours before President Joe Biden's inauguration. The month prior, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner dropped $32 million on a piece of land on a private island in Miami known as the "Billionaire Bunker." In the meantime, they're reportedly renting a luxury condo nearby.

In January, the New York Post reported that Donald Trump Jr. and his girlfriend, Kimberly Guilfoyle, were house-hunting in Jupiter, Florida, while Page Six reported that Tiffany Trump was looking for property in Miami.

The Trumps aren't the only ones to relocate to Florida during the pandemic. Palm Beach's real-estate market is booming (another Palm Beach mansion on land once owned by former President Trump recently went into contract for $140 million), and Wall Street and tech execs have been snapping up homes in Miami.

Well that’s because the area is a commie liberal stronghold. They will not, in any way be successful at getting him to go. They certainly can’t force him to sell unless they want to put another crowded hiway in its path and use eminent domain. I mean you can’t doubt the Democrat fools for a minute. They will try everything.
