43. Wait, I thought there was a Palm Beach restriction

Sun Jan 31, 2021, 05:51 PM

Jan 2021

preventing anyone, including tRump, from staying at Mal-a-Lardo for a stay of longer than 7 days at a time. How could they be legally contracting rooms in violation of that time restriction? For a month?

I know, I know, not that that would keep tRump from doing what he wants anyway (as he apparently is doing now) but it seems that would've raised a ruckus with the government contracting people in the beginning.

Now would be a good time for the Feds to do what tRump does and walk away from any obligation that remains and say see you in court.
