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.

They sure are.
Such children.
I'm not Southern.
I'm Southron.
I've never heard it.
FDR had his “Little White House” in Warm Springs, Georgia, retreat, as well as Campobello off the Maine/New Brunswick coastline - to which you had to travel through Canada to get to, or arrive by boat.
If you are white and you and you have a southern accent you are automatically under suspicion of being a racist.

Duh Phuk Yew say...
Maralago became the first Golf Club to allow blacks and Jews to play golf in a county which forbade their membership.
All brought to you by Donald Trump, who sued duh Phuk out Palm Beach and they relented.
Shove your dog whistle up your anus....
The women all confirm: I am the raciest!
Careful. These 'tweeters' might take you up on it.
I live in Southern California. I grew up on South Broadway. I went to college on South Hoover Street in Los Angeles. I once worked in South Pasadena. Yeah, that makes me a thoroughgoing racist!
These people are retarded. The only thing “Southern” about Palm Beach is it’s latitude and longitude lines. Down here we have a saying: “In Florida, the further North you go, the more Southern you get!”
By now most of us know our Leftist enemies better than they know themselves.
I've been through it on two occasions.
Incidentally, Nixon is not the only president with whom the house is associated. It was owned by a Democrat fat cat who was a friend of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. FDR would occasionally pay a visit, and they would go out to a gazebo in the back yard and play poker. You can see the gazebo from the beach. To get to where you can see the gazebo, you need to walk about a mile down the beach from San Clemente State Park.
Drink!
Ohmygosh. Is President Trump the best troll ever or what?
Sure to be the next fad amongst the Snowflake Generation.
