(22,215 posts)On MSNBC Saturday, 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?"

(81,260 posts)Right, any family priced motel has a modern, clean, attractive breakfast bar.

Now, he's a loser & just another big mouth.
No longer useful.
This "trump will maintain influence over the GOP" talk is specious.
I think a lot of those pundits will be eating those words in a year.

The Q people are fools anyway and people dont realize the medicine man is a fraud until theyve been burned several times.

(31,261 posts)He is extra toxic after his nonsense about the November election and his actions on Jan 6. Many of those members own financial assets that require that they maintain the respect of the communities that they live in or do business. Only fools like the MyPillow guy will throw caution to the wind and stick with Trump.

(100,133 posts)Remembering the days when it was full of courtiers who paid top dollar just to have him crash their daughters weddings. Courtiers and hangers-on who applauded his entrance, who breathlessly awaited his next breach of national security at his dinner table, hoping they would be chosen to shine their cell phone flashlights on the proceedings. Bejewelled women who tolerated his groping with a smile...
Remembering the days when he could swagger forth in his little kingdom, the bright orange El Caudillo del Mar a Lago.
How long before we behold him on the browned golf course bellowing for his daughter, with only a jesting golf caddy for company?
