"SNIP......

“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,” the Washington Post reports.

“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 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.”

1. The Man Without A Spa

Hahahaha.

[wcast]

11. This made me laugh out loud 😄

My wife love The Man without a Country.

[mountain grammy]

24. haha

[JDC]

44. Lol. Good one.

[magicarpet]

2. Well,.. Moscow it is,... have Putie fluff up the pillows for the trDump family.

[sarcasmo]

38. Trump Towers Istanbul

[magicarpet]

45. Turkey's dictator is not too happy with trDump right now.

trDump might be persona non gratis in Istanbul, Turkey right now, trDump Tower or not.

(snip ~ begin)

A year and a half after Turkey acquired a Russian missile defense system, violating U.S. sanctions law, President Donald Trump has implemented penalties against the NATO ally.

His refusal to implement those sanctions had drawn bipartisan ire in Congress, but authorizing them now has enraged Turkey, including Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, amid deteriorating relations between it and its Western allies like the U.S.

3. Read that Russian tv wants him there,,

[mdbl]

20. yes they love him in Russia

someone give him a one-way passport!

[Walleye]

4. He actually committed voter fraud himself by listing that as his residential address.

[montanacowboy]

5. He actually voted Illegally

Mar a Lago is not a residence and that is the address he uses to vote by mail.

He gave up the right a long time ago when he wanted to turn the place into a private golf club and it was never to be allowed as a residence. You Can't stay there for over 7 nights at a span.

[niyad]

6. Nor more than 21 days a year, apparently. Oooops. Is somebody actually going to enforce this?

[keithbvadu2]

18. Enforce this? Certainly not the DeSantis administration.

Enforce this? Certainly not the DeSantis administration.

[PBC_Democrat]

21. It's not up to Gov DeSantis to enforce

It's a matter for the City of Palm Beach

[Ligyron]

48. That's right.

[mdbl]

23. unfortunately you are probably right

certain people never have to live by the rules or laws and Dump seems to be one of them.

[A HERETIC I AM]

8. God damned right, he did.

I hope they enforce the ordnance and make him try and buy a property, and then lets see what happens on the financing end of it!

On edit to add, FWIW, it was never going to be a "Private Golf Club" because there is no room. There are several Tennis courts, so it is (or was, if memory serves) deemed a "Tennis Club", but it is just a Private Beach Club

"Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach" is about 4 miles west of Mar-A-Lago, just south of the WPB airport;

[LakeArenal]

7. His NY neighbors said the same.

[Journeyman]

9. Well, he's not welcome in California, so his options are slowly diminishing . . .

eventually, may he find the only place that wants him is a little public facility outside Leavenworth, Kansas.

[ret5hd]

41. Short of prison, I'm hoping for Section 8 housing...

maybe someplace like St. Louis, his coke-addled son stealing any loose change off the dresser, Ivanka in a shabby overcoat, pushing a shopping cart screaming at random passer-by. Afraid to leave the apartment because the elevator is broken, he sits alone in his underwear, watching out the window for Putins limousine...which never never comes.

[BunnyMcGee]

53. Excellent vision for post WH residence, before a Federal prison!

[IthinkThereforeIAM]

54. Good one...

....

[captain queeg]

10. Too funny. No one wants you Donny

Maybe the SS won’t have to protect his fat ass. Not likely I know it that would be great. Without the SS he’ll have to hire an army of private security guards. I know we should worry about state secrets he might have but since he never paid attention and has dementia I think he doesn’t have many.

[Hekate]

15. Sadly, Jared and Ivanka probably did read all the PDBs Trump refused to read

[monmouth4]

12. I can assure you the Town of Palm Beach will get their way...LOL. n/t

[My Pet Orangutan]

26. Pam Beach Mayor Renames Road Leading to Trump's Mar-a-Lago 'Racist's Way'

https://youreadygrandma.com/2020/06/05/mayor-renames-road-leading-to-trumps-mar-a-lago-racists-way/

I'm thinking the Town of Palm Beach won't be doing the MF any favors.

[monmouth4]

31. They truly dislike him. He is crass, vulgar and a climber in their eyes. LOL. n/t

[Hekate]

13. Pardon my Schadenfreude dance

🎶💃🎶

[bdamomma]

14. I know of a place

that is secluded and he will have 3 meals a day....................PRISON.

[AmericanCanuck]

37. And not a single soul would complain about him being there!

[DBoon]

55. now now

Even the inmates in a Federal prison have their standards for who they will associate with.

[TeamPooka]

16. And you know Ivanka and Jared don't want Him living with them

[TeamPooka]

17. The real question is where will Melania live? Not with Donald

[pecosbob]

19. Property law 'trumps' all in the land of the free and the home of the brave...

That is until your neighbors sue because you painted your house chartreuse.

[elleng]

22. "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.”

[TexasBushwhacker]

65. And he had to turn it into a private club

because he was broke and couldn't pay for the upkeep. He originally wanted to chop the property up and sell it in parcels and Palm Beach wouldn't let him. I do know he has to get rid of the helipad once he's no longer POTUS.

[dupagelib]

25. Russia probably off the table.

As far as Putin is concerned, trump is just an idiot, no longer useful.

[Golden Raisin]

27. Emphatically not wanted back in NYC.

[Larissa]

46. He dare not sneak back into New York

Just when NYPD was settling in to enjoy the peace and quiet at Trump Tower.

[Marcuse]

28. A voting fraud investigation should be simple. At a minimum his ballot should be invalid.

[Rebl2]

52. Yep!

[BGBD]

29. Tough shit

If anybody deserves him it is Florida. Texas is a close 2nd.

Of course if he loves those uneducated white voters so much why not move to Logan County, WV or Bell County, KY and live with them.

No, its just like he said. "Before the pandemic there was no way I was coming back to Erie, PA."

[rpannier]

34. Alabama seems to really love him

[BGBD]

42. Yup, why not

Move to Lower Alabama?

[fierywoman]

30. Oh ! Oh ! Oh! My heart is full of Schadenfreude!

[infullview]

32. Don't worry, NY has a new high-security living space waiting for him

[rpannier]

33. Now you know why some may have voted for him....

they didn't want him as a neighbor

[Hermit-The-Prog]

35. Let him live in Jarvanka's basement -- on that island that's going to wash away.

36. This came up back when he decided to leave trump tower and move permanently down there...

Residents in the town pointed out that he agreed to NOT use the place as a residence in order to make it a country club. I guess they figured it wouldn't be worth pressing the issue while he was president. I'm really glad they're pushing it now.

Screw him to the wall, make him find other accommodations. I'm sure that once Biden implements his immigration policy there will be plenty of empty cages for him.

[AmericanCanuck]

39. He can always move to coastal Alabama

and have Roy Moore as a neighbor.

[Midnightwalk]

40. I want to see this in court

Before inauguration would be great.

It would be a perfect appetizer for a NY case.

[TruckFump]

43. Maybe the NY DA can find him suitable accommodations?

I understand that the color orange is quelle in vogue there!

[movingviolation]

47. Donald can go to Russia.

[thenelm1]

49. And yet, I wonder how many of these folks voted for him...

And as far as a places for dump to call home? Which countries don't have extradition treaties with the U.S.?

(As an aside - didn't Bush the elder claim some hotel in Houston as a residence at one time? Rather than the family compound in Maine?)

[paleotn]

50. Attica called. Sorry, no weekend golf, but...

they'd be more than willing to accommodate him on NY's dime for the rest of his miserable life. 6 X 8 is a bit on the small side, but I'm sure diaper Don can make do.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

51. He has lived his whole life pissing off his neighbors.

The opposite of Christian ideals to "love thy neighbor".

[lpbk2713]

56. Epstein's island is available.

Trump ought to feel right at home there.

[belpejic]

58. He's probably quite familiar with it already.

[Totally Tunsie]

57. Here's a longer, snarkier article about the filers of the lawsuit

to prevent Chump from living at Mar-a-Loco:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9057857/Palm-Beach-residents-demand-town-ban-Trump-moving-Mar-Lago.html

Reginald Stambaugh, a real estate attorney who has represented the DeMoss family, said that whether or not Trump will be allowed to stay at Mar-a-Lago on a permanent basis depends on whether the town will enforce its laws.

If Trump makes Mar-a-Lago his home, he would then have to shut down the club, according to Stambaugh.

‘One prevalent issue remains lingering, whether President Trump still considers Mar-a-Lago Club his residence,’ Stambaugh told The Washington Post in May.

‘He still can’t have it both ways. It’s either a club or a residence - not both.

‘Florida’s voting laws apply to citizen Trump. If he resides there, he will have to close the club.’

[Algernon Moncrieff]

60. My guess is it will revert to residence then

Some members will be refunded. Others will become frequent house guests who come over, play golf, and attend parties - kind of like a club.

[Algernon Moncrieff]

59. Eh...I call BS

..not on you, Applegrove. On the story.

I remember stories identical to this in 1992 - how Kennebunkport didn't want the Bushes coming back. They came around to loving the Bushes again. Palm Beach likes claiming Trump as theirs, and even though they are sick of the inconvenience of him coming and going, they will love him again soon enough.. The irony is that when he bought Mar A Lago from the Feds, Palm Beach was still very much old money (as in Guilded Age and before) and Trump was despised as a nouveau riche interloper. He originally wanted to build houses on the land - the town wouldn't let him. But as time went on, he bought more golf courses, got older, and became part of the establishment. Now he's President for another 5 weeks. Then he'll become a semi-permanent fixture - but without the hyper annoying closures of roads, etc. any time he does anything. When he's not doing rallies, he'll be holding court at Mar A Lago - bragging on the next trophy wife, railing against the libs, and regaling his rich buddies with stories about how he and a 5-iron is all that stood between this nation and communism.

[AllyCat]

61. Voter fraud! He should not have been allowed to use

that address to vote!

[DFW]

62. I vote for Angola

Not the country in Africa, but the facility in Louisiana.

[lindysalsagal]

63. Here's the wapo link:

64. I tried to capture the WaPo link using my celll but could not. It was too long.
