As Mar-a-Lago Prepares to Close for the Season, Trump Lines Up a New Getaway

By Adam K. RaymondPolitico reports.

If Mar-a-Lago was the winter White House, all indications point to Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, serving as its summer counterpart. That’s already got local residents spooked.

Last year, Bedminster got a taste of what it would be like to have Trump in town, when he holed up in the club to interview potential cabinet members and humiliate Mitt Romney. Street closures created headaches, and those that remained open were snarled with traffic as the local government was forced to pay out thousands in overtime to police.

While it’s unclear how often Trump will visit Bedminster and what effect it will have on the small town, complaints about the mounting bill for his weekends away from the White House are sure to continue. It’s not just his political opponents knocking the president for this either.

“I do wish that he would spend more time in Washington, D.C. That’s what we have the White House for,” Republican senator Joni Ernst said in Iowa Tuesday. She said Trump’s frequent visits to Florida have “been bothering not just me, but some other members of our caucus,” and added that she intends to talk to Trump about it.

Don’t expect Trump to back down on this one, though. Bedminster is where the “special people” are, as he said last year. Trump loves this place so much he once planned to spend all of eternity there. That is, until local officials denied his request to build a 19-foot-tall stone mausoleum in the middle of his golf course.

No white house or camp David for Cheeto.

Do y'all expect him to stop playing golf on at the very best Trump courses?

How could we keep winning so biggly if he couldn't?

He's in the prime of his life!

He might fukk around and spend an equivalent of 3 years on the golf course.

Closer to DC, not on the water, so might save a couple million.

Guess Chris Christie is getting his White House Internship this summer playing caddy and doing McDonald's runs.

 

[Shogun]

This has nothing to do with anything, but don't places like this open for the season in the spring?

 

[Robbie3000]

So they close a golf resort for the summer?

Sorry brehs.

He has to keep the gravy train going. Charge all expenses for the entourage, secret service and all the security required to Trump owned businesses.

MAGA.

He's already received over 20m at Mar-a-Lago.
