Twitter was incensed Saturday after Donald Trump used Barbara Bushs 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 Bushs funeral on TV at his golf resort.
The latest southern title of Trumps 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 its 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.

Uh, I think she was a relative of H.R. Puffenstuff wasn’t she?.........;)
President Truman always referred to Key West as the “Southern White House”. So it is bad only if a Republican says those words. Get a life or move away, preferably the latter.
...President Richard Nixon’s Western White House, used while living and working outside of the official presidential residence...
Let me tell you BBell
We have posters on this forum who think just like this
National Review and The Blaze sorts
I fight with them constantly if I want
They detest Dixie
Beck even has a south bashing article on this site today despite the state of decline were in
Hes focused on Brooks caning Sumner and his zany history lessons
I live 15 minutes from the LBJ ranch. I like it most when it’s downwind. Been here many decades and never stepped foot on the property or his “Library” in Austin.
If Trump wants to call Mara Lago the Southern Whitehouse or the Chicken Ranch, I could care less. I just want him to be safe.

>> “Don’t these people ever give up? “ <<
No, they do not.
Trump is dismantling their lies and lunacy, and many of them are being investigated and will be prosecuted for their treason and sedition.
Satan is screaming out in pain!

Which country club was that
Given Miami being how it is...
Jews and Country Clubs
It makes me chuckle
After Cubans its their town pretty much though I hear since my days Brasilians have moved in
I think Truman’s vacation home in Key West was popularly called the Southern White House.
.
Don’t forget Reagan’s “Western Whitehouse” at Rancho Del Cielo!

I’m confused. If it’s a dog whistle to racists, then why are the SJWs howling?
Mary, Mary, Mary. Mar-a-Lego is not a resort. It is a private residence. As such it is one of the finest, best appointed homes in America. it is the president’s home where he has entertained leaders from around the world who have specifically requested attendance at Mar-a-Lego. It is most appropriately the Southern White House.
One thing I can say about yahoo is that If you read the comments to the articles it is obvious that, for the most part ,the comments do not reflect the view of the so called journalists writing the articles or the folks at yahoo.
Neither did Clinton, he mooched off his wealthy donors and went to Martha’s Vineyard every chance he got and Obama did the same.
Thats good to hear.
Trump is not the first president to call his own residence “The Southern Whitehouse.”

I’m pretty sure Puffenstuff is what liberals do for recreation.
