Locals Want Palm Beach to Stop Trump from Living at Mar-a-Lago: 'Avoid an Embarrassing Situation for Everyone'

President Donald Trump is warmly received at his Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida — a favored retreat that the first family has been eyeing as their post-White House residency of choice, starting in January.

The problem?

Right outside the bubble of the club, some of Trump's neighbors want the city to at last enforce a rule that would block him from living at Mar-a-Lago for any real length of time.
In a demand letter sent to the town of Palm Beach on Tuesday, as reported by The Washington Post and The New York Times, a group of residents argued that Trump's plans to move to Mar-a-Lago go against a use agreement he entered into in 1993.
================================================================
The Trump family has been renovating part of the club to become their full-time living quarters & one close neighbor plans to fight that.

I wouldn't want that moron for a neighbor either.

As far as I know, he signed away his right to permanent residence so he can't legally live there full time.
He's only allowed to be there for 6 months a year.

Trump does own other homes in Palm Beach, he could just move to one of them. But I'm sure he'd rather be at the "Winter White House" where he can pretend to still be president.

The reason why he wants Mar a Largo and not the other properties is because the majority of the membership-only club are his fans and the will fawn over him in numbers up a hundred or so. Like a private event at the White House. It's why he won't move to one of the other properties he owns nearby.

The problem, of course, is that he signed a contract that stipulates no one can live there if it is a club. If he changes it back to a residence, he can't have the audiences he wants. If it stays as a club and he just acts like a squatter and lives there, there will be a greater Secret Service presence to cover the larger grounds and guests...which causes traffic and noise problems for the community. Also, since Melania has taken over the apartment that the Service has used in the past for Donald...another residence has to be acquired or built on the grounds...causing further aggravation. If Trump goes to his other properties, the Service presence will be smaller and more localized.

And the US taxpayers won't be footing as much of the bill for the First White Trash Family.
