Members are quitting Mar-A-Lago

Members are quitting Mar-a-Lago because it has become a 'sad' and 'dispirited' place since Trump moved in
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.
"I've talked to a bunch of people the last couple of days," Laurence Leamer told the cable channel. "A lot of people have quit Mar-a-Lago."
The author of "Mar-a-Lago: Inside the Gates of Power at Donald Trump's Presidential Palace" then remarked that members are leaving due to concerns that they might be featured in newspaper articles.
Leamer says Trump's declining popularity has also turned off members.
He told MSNBC: "They don't want anything to do with Donald Trump. Many of the members, they're not going there very often because it's a very dispirited place."
He continued: "It's a sad place for Trump to be hanging out. It's not what it was."
Leamer later added: "They're walking away from him. Even here, people don't like him."
Members, who pay $200,000 to join the club, have voiced their concern about Trump's return to Mar-a-Lago.
His neighbors are reportedly taking legal action to try and prevent the move from becoming permanent, according to The Washington Post.
The neighbors wrote a secret letter to Palm Beach authorities and the US Secret Service arguing that Trump has no legal right to live at Mar-a-Lago full-time, The Post reported.
It said that authorities should notify Trump that he is not allowed to become a permanent resident to avoid an "embarrassing situation" whereby he would be evicted, the paper said.

They are canceling because they know the Gestapo will be coming for them if they have ANY ties to Trump at all.

Retards. They knew Mar-a-Lago was associated with Trump when they signed up. So they are just now all of a sudden comming to their senses about that? Idiot leftists.

So a biased author with an obvious agenda is telling this to MSDNC.
Nothing to see here.

Does he own the resort? Then he has a legal right to live there. Full stop.

It's fricking hilarious to watch you people get sucked in by these grifters/self promoters every fricking time. They can't print money off your stupidity

So he contradicts his own premise. Jesus Christ

They had no problem putting up that much? Were they confused who owned it?

Business Insider is a tabloid

Sounds like another hate piece meant to make Trump look bad but it makes these rich people living there look insecure, if any of this is true. If Obama were living near where I was I would think that's pretty cool that an ex-president is nearby. I'm not weak enough to move out because of someone I don't particularly like.

The next 4 years are going to be one endless stream of "OMG, did you hear what Drumpf did" articles
