Twitter was incensed Saturday after Donald Trump used Barbara Bush’s funeral as an opportunity to tout his private business in a tweet, dubbing his Mar-a-Lago golf resort the “Southern White House.”
Trump noted that he would be watching Bush’s funeral — on TV — at his golf resort.
The latest “southern” title of Trump’s private “White House” was particularly galling to many who called it a “dog whistle” to racists. Trump used to refer to Mar-a-Lago as the “Winter White House.” The “Southern White House” was where Confederate president Jefferson Davis lived during the Civil War.
Angry tweets also pointed out that it’s the only “White House” where taxpayers have to either pay a $200,000 membership fee to visit it or know a member who can afford those fees to invite them to visit.

Don't these people ever give up. They sound like such fools. It would be comical if it wasn't so pathetic.
Twitter has given any idiot with an opinion an outlet. None of this should be taken seriously but it does give us a shot inside the minds of these delusional foolish idiots. The tweets at the site are hilarious. I did not know people in the funny farm were allowed to tweet.
I agree. What a bunch of childish fools.
Trump obviously was not referring to the Confederacy it’s ridiculous.
Who is this Tweeters guy? And why should I care?
Yahoo news might be the worst of the bunch.
I live 15 Minutes North of what used to be POTUS Nixon’s Western White House in San Clemente.
[[Twitter was incensed Saturday]]

Never Forget To Laugh!
+++++++++++++++++++++++
Words fail me....Sheeesh!
Ridiculous people tweet ridiculous things.
Mary Papenfuss. Wasn’t there a movie about her?
Really, journalists have done this sort of “###### White House” for decades about wherever a POTUS regularly stays in a personal residence.
This is just twitheads acting out....
Oh, for pete’s sake...
“Yahoo news might be the worst of the bunch.”
It’s certainly a contender for the title. A few years ago I dumped them as my e-mail host because I could no longer stomach the Rat splash page every time I checked mail. A lot of hassle at the time but well worth it.
If you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; ... if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle.
Sun Tzu
Trump has shown that he knows his enemies.
No, they don't have to pay anything at all, as they're not forced to join.
Oh well, at least they're admitting that the "wealthy 1%" actually pay taxes.
One of the most ridiculous trends in the MSM has been to turn a few angry tweets by Leftards into a new “story” .... Twitter is always full of chattering angry people, but only churnalists think it is “newsworth” every time a few Twit-tards chatter at POTUS Trump.
It was the first CC in Miami to admit Jewish and Black members.
So Yahoo reporting on Twitter is news.
Mmmmkay.
