Donald Trump and his wife Melania are spending the Thanksgiving holiday at the business mogul's Mar-a-Lago resort.  Trump bought the estate for $10million in 1985 for his then wife Ivana. The resort was developed in the 1920s for heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post.  After he acquired the resort, Trump redeveloped the main house and created his own private quarters - decked out in gold.

Imagine Trump spent his own money to decorate in the style he wants. So unlike the Obama’s who spend our tax dollars or the grifters who spend tax free foundation money on Chelsea’s wedding and her $10 million condo. How shocking a President who respects our money.

Video of DJT playing golf, please! I understand that he has a right-good swing and a teens-to-lower 20’s handicap.

According to Rush, who has played with the Donald, Trump was a 4 handicap at Doral when he was younger and playing a lot of golf.

If you play golf, you know that age and lack of play can turn that 4 into a 14 in very short order.

I don't know what handicap he would play to today, but with a month to get back into playing shape, I'd give 25-1 that he'd kick the hell out of obummer.

Far cry from the barn I live in. But how many people can say they were given a stable for a new life. Am thankful for what we have! A building does not make a family/home !

We don't need decorative art. We need social realize - you know, like Frieda Kalho and her husband Diego Rivera

I can definitely aspire to owning a mansion myself! Screw the whining socialists who only want everyone equally miserable, they can go build their own little North Korean compounds.

What I got from the article was it's snarky tone, emphasizing:

VERY flashy

lavishly furnished in a garish fashion

gaudy chandeliers

Unsurprisingly, the property has four posted (sic) beds

One thing missing is a fan in the bedroom, it may be in a closet though.

Yes, I play and once held an 8HC about 5 years ago.

Been a while but I’m pretty confident I’d go out today and “push” a 90...without the libations.

I think that DJT could take Obamugabe, straight-up..today!

LOL! It’s the ONLY thing I’m not crazy about regarding Donald Trump.....his taste in decorating!

Ahh yes, Diego Rivera the lifelong Marxist who saw the worker’s struggle as a symbol of the fragile political ground on which capitalism trod.
