The attorney for Palm Beach said in a memo this week that former President Donald Trump can live full time at his Mar-a-Lago resort.
John Randolph said in the document that Trump can be considered a bona fide employee of the resort. Employees are defined in the town’s code as including business owners and partners.
“If he is a bona fide employee of the club, absent a specific restriction prohibiting former President Trump from residing at the club, it appears the Zoning Code permits him to reside at the club,” Randolph wrote.
The memo was obtained by news outlets and published by NPR.
Trump turned Mar-a-Lago into a private club in 1993. During a Town Council meeting that year, Trump’s attorney at the time said that Trump would not “continue to live” on the property, “except that he will be a member of the club and would be entitled to use the guest rooms.”
Some have suggested the statement means Trump may only use the club as a member. Members are barred from residing at Mar-a-Lago for more than three non-consecutive seven-day periods per year.

I did mean New York. Until ten years ago, I would have liked to have visited the city at some point. Not now and I doubt that there will ever come a time when it recovers to the point where I would like to go see it.
There should be a P.G. Wodehouse Award on FR, and my FRiend you just won 2021.
One would assume the big boss can live wherever he wants.
Pretty nice location for a secret service gig.
He treats them well too, so I understand that there is no hesitation to get people signed up for his assignment.
. So you left New York for NC? You basically moved back to Néw York depending on where you live in NC. I lived in NC for 30 years. Beautiful state but lots of New Yorkers. Don’t forget NJ transplants.
Out-damn-Standing!
Aw, shucks. Thank you.
“Seems the Mar A Largo community is mostly Dems.”
Yes, and I believe they were probably part of the idiot group who didn’t know who they voted for in the election fiasco back in 2000.
President Trump didn’t leave New York.
New York left him.
******************************
I’m happy they parted company. I am proud and happy that Trump is here with us in Florida!
One memorable contract was when I was working with a process instruments manufacturer and happened to read their standard sales agreement, which was heavy in the confidentiality and ownership of proprietary and patentable aspects deriving from the use of the technology. So, I read the contract and it had so many technology loopholes as to render it borderline useless. I marked up the contract then got together with the company owner to discuss. His response was priceless - “I like my loopholes because I can interpret them any way I want”.
I was going into a chemical manufacturing facility as a consultant to do some testing with my company's process instrument and while clearing through security had to sign the usual confidentiality agreement. In the liability clause, it was written such that it put my company at extraordinary risk and refused to sign. I called up my boss and he agreed.
. I called up my corporate contact and told him I would not agree and was leaving and would be invoicing them for my time and expenses per our professional services contract . Within a half hour, I had a high level management person at the security gate that waived the confidentiality agreement and personally signed me into the facility. He said no one ever reads what they sign away.
I was a bit ticked off so charged them a few extra thousand $$$ for wasting my time. Per our sales contract, I billed out at a hefty daily fee + expenses + a surcharge over 8 hours. As a company, we had no interest in the professional fee other than recouping actual cost (we wanted to sell instruments) so I had lots of leeway on that fee. In this case, I charged them full pop for me + added expenses, no mercy. Most times, whether it was a 4 hour or 12 hour day, it was the flat rate $$$.
I know what you mean. There’s no way at our age and my husband’s bad health that I would ever get to see NYC now and the irony of that is I was born and raised in upstate NY - moved to CA when I was 21 and NEVER went to the city.
Flew in and out of the airports there when on vacation and family met us if that counts! It would have been great years ago but not anymore. When we searched for places to move to when planning our retirement in CA, NY was never on the list because of the politics so we settled for GA - which made sense at the time - but now? Kind of different from 15 years ago.
America has changed so much in the last ten years, and not for the better, that the only places I would visit are either in conservative states or in relatively rural areas. I would never visit any of the big cities for any reason.
Except Las Vegas, but I know to stay only on the strip. It’s pretty grungy even just one block off. I found that out be accident when I visited it one time.
Stay on the strip!!
It’s always been who do you know...and it’s in every business.
Can you imagine the liberal heads exploding? LOL!
New York as we know it is dead (it’ll come back to life as Chinatown)
Bwaaa haaa haaa!
He could always fold up shop and move to Texas. F these people
He needs to be somewhere that’ll throw the middle finger at New York and other places when their corrupt DOJs file frivolous/fake criminal charges against him.
I love Las Vegas...We were married there nearly 50 years ago in June and the temperature was 114 degrees! We spent a couple of hours watching sparring matches with Jerry Quarry and another one with Bob Foster. The Ali/Quarry fight was coming up. Sugar Ray Robinson was there as well as Ali. No one knew he was near the arena (Caesar’s Palace) until you heard him shouting as he entered from the back of the room.
