Members Are Quitting Mar-a-Lago Because It Has Become a 'sad' and 'dispirited' Place Since Trump Moved In, Author Says

Sunday, January 24, 2021

Former President Donald Trump's return to his glitzy Florida golf resort - Mar-a-Lago - has reportedly not been met with fanfare by the club's wealthy members. Mar-a-Lago's mood is "dispirited," and people are canceling their memberships, the author of a book on the resort told MSNBC.

The former president (I just like saying that) better not brood too long. There's a vacancy in Trump's base. Ted Cruz and his wingman Josh Hawley are going to steal those disenchanted QAnon goons right out from under his nose.

2024 is just around the corner and the 'goose egg' for the Trump's imaginary Patriot Party hasn't even been laid yet.

Trump's having his nose rubbed in the reality he never had any real friends.

It's more likely they are quitting because they cannot get any more favors from Fat Nixon.

The whole presidency reeked of pay for play schemes all four years.

Let's get real. They are quitting because they fear that some of his haters will show up and endanger the neighborhood.

Apparently planes are flying around the area towing "Lewzer is a loser" banners. Must be tough not to be able to control the local airspace anymore.

What's the point of hanging around a glorified supper club run by a has-been and loudmouth? There are other private clubs in the Palm Beach area where the stench of Trump isn't in the air, and where members recognize they aren't seen as marks, shills and suckers.

What help and power Trump once could have displayed, like a magic act, for his friends and customers is now gone. He will NEVER be a political force again, except for a dwindling crowd of fools and toadies who are trying only to glom onto his voters, many of whom now recognize they have been duped.

Believe me--the Mar-a-Lago membership crowd are looked down upon by the Palm beach elite. They are seen as Johnny come latelys, nouveau riche lottery winners and car-crash victims who sued their way to money. They dress badly, talk too loud, come from Islip or White Plains and don't tip properly...

He's just a golf bum getting old, fat, ugly, and running out of sugar daddies.

That reminds me of something I read once that said roughly that rich people don't have friends, they have contacts.

Phester-would that be the rightwing terrorists who say he abandoned them?

But you could probably buy a membership on the cheap now.

Here's your chance Trumpterds to step up and help out your lord and savior by forking over the $200,000 membership fee today.

Put your tax cuts to use.

Maybe we can have a boat flag parade to console Dear Leader.

"Members Are Quitting Mar-a-Lago"

Using Clinton Foundation logic, this proves Trump was corrupt and selling access through his club.

Why else would money stop flowing in after Trump lost?

Maybe someone can ask JeffJ for me, over on their White Pride discussion page.

I haven't forgotten. Lewzer Jr. already has his yard signs out.

It's going to be crowded primary.

Talk is that Ivanka and Jarod are establishing their Florida residency so she can run for the U.S. Senate.

Guess who her soft target is . . . Marco Rubio.

I wonder how the financials will be looking at the Lewzer International Hotel in Washington?

I doubt taxpayers will be giving them $8 for a glass of water for President Biden.

People are saying the Secret Service has changed Melania's codename from "Flight Risk" to "Where'd she go".

I don't know that, but people are saying...

Maybe he can get Mar a Lago re-zoned as a mental hospital.

Perfect! Hope he sees is. If not, everyone who lives or works in Palm Beach will have seen it or be talking about it. Trump is well on his way to becoming the biggest pariah in Palm Beach since Bernie Madoff.

Members and international guests paid a lot of money to Mar-a-Lago for only one reason ~~ for the opportunity to harvest 'favors' from Trump. (it's never been a secret that Trump was "For Sale")

The same goes for Trump's International Hotel.

Both sides have one thing in common. Greed.

That plus they're all day traders. AS in . . .

A friend today is an enemy tomorrow.
