Wouldn’t have kept Obama from the golf course.
Florida “Resort”, eh?
Absolutely no bias there! None whatsoever!
May the MSM rot in Hell!
Resort?
Oh dear. A big gala was planned, with very expensive tickets. I wonder if that will go ahead.
I assure you, most of the NYS snowbirds are Dems.
So, fake news Reuters is reporting that fake news cnn said...........<P.
They love to say the word shutdown.
Post, who wanted Mar-a-Lago to survive after her death, initially offered it to the state of Florida, but was turned down when officials considered its high operational costs. Her next plan was to give it to the federal government for use as a "Winter White House." The U.S. government, encouraged by Post's promise to provide funds for maintenance of the estate, accepted in 1972.
However, after Post's 1973 death the costs of upkeep (about $1 million per year) outpaced the money she'd left behind, prompting the government to return the estate to the Post Foundation in 1981. After years of searching for a buyer, in 1985 Donald Trump purchased Mar-a-Lago for the bargain basement price of $8 million, which got him the home plus its furnishings and antiques. Now, with Trump's ascension to the presidency, the visits he makes to Mar-a-Lago are, in a way, fulfilling Post's vision of a "Winter White House."
“It is the largest mansion in the state of Florida and the 20th largest mansion in the United States.”
And just think, a knuckle dragging neanderthal, a buffoon, was able to buy it.
As I said two days ago ... I predict we will be blessed with an in-person, live appearance of our President at the March for Life. God will not be mocked.
Bummer.
Well he is at least giving the Demon Rats lots of rope to hang themselves with....”I am here, Chuck and Dick. Do your job.”
Does the President know there are 19 larger mansions?
Obviously, since Turtle and Ryan are busy getting RAT Senators elected and trolling for gays at the gym, Trump needs to step up and do their jobs for them.
Lindsey Graham is demanding amnesty for illegal immigrants as a precondition for voting for funding the government.
Yep, no business sense whatsoever. Probably worth 10 times that now.
Right, Trump will crush him, wait for the tweet!
I'm sure he does. He probably owns six of them!
