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

[TC Talks]

Trump was already thrown out of New York last year may not have a place to retire. Maybe he can move in with his buddy Putin.

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.

The contretemps sets up a potentially awkward scenario, unique in recent history, in which a former Oval Office occupant would find himself having to officially defend his choice of a place to live during his post-presidency. 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.

...The Mar-a-Lago neighbors would be okay with Trump finding a new place to bunk. Their letter, written by West Palm Beach attorney Reginald Stambaugh, includes a zinger that harks to the vibe of the old money enclave on Florida’s east coast: “Palm Beach has many lovely estates for sale, and we are confident President Trump will find one which meets his needs.”

No need to worry. He will be at the closest New York pen. available.

I hope SDNY has the arrest warrant and handcuffs ready.

Ah.....The keyboard analysts with their speculative Swill...

Not sure what you mean by this, certainly I don't see the scenario where the former President is facing changes or jail time in the near future. But I do see a significant problem in him living at Mar-a-Lago as the people he's fighting have just as much (or more) money than he does for lawyers and lawsuits. And the City of Palm Beach is in the same financial difficulties of all governments today with lower tax collections and higher expenses. Should be an interesting legal battle.

He'll go into exile in Russia, like Gorbachev did in the US, before he subjects himself to NY, a Third World Country by any other name. This wasn't an election, it was a Banana Republic Coup d'etat.

This wasn't an election, it was a Banana Republic Coup d'etat.

Except for the lack of any proof.

Well, I'm not sure how much time Donald will be there. But I'm fairly confident, based upon the different things I've been reading, that Melania and the kid plan on making Florida their primary residence.

You mean the coup to place fake electors in the Michigan chambers? Yep, it was an attempted coup. I agree.
