PALM BEACH, Fla. — Democrats just came up with a catchy-sounding bill to force President Donald Trump to cough up a list of visitors to his private clubs.
But there’s just one problem: There are no lists yet.
On Friday night, guests streamed into Mar-a-Lago, the president’s self-proclaimed “southern White House,” for the annual Palm Beach GOP Lincoln Day Dinner. All they had to do to get into the seaside retreat, where the first lady and the president’s youngest son were vacationing for spring break, was buy a $300 ticket.
They didn’t have to submit to the kinds of rigorous background checks required if they’d been entering the White House in Washington. And there were no weapon screenings or bomb-sniffing dogs checking vehicles of the sort that have long been routine at public restaurants or other places where the president or first lady is present.
Mar-a-Lago also doesn’t keep tabs on the identity of guests who come and go on a routine basis, even while the president is in residence. Club members call the front desk to give the names of their guests, including for parties held in the ballroom. But they don’t have to submit details, like a middle initial or birth date or Social Security number, that are standard for visitor logs or background checks — which neither the club nor the Secret Service do at the resort.
Whether they realize it or not, what the Democratic lawmakers are asking for is a whole new system to be established putting Mar-a-Lago and the other Trump clubs a step closer to being on par with the White House when it comes to disclosure.

Did they keep logs of who Obama talked to while on his many "golf games"? I've always thought they were just cover for unreported meetings.
Heck, save the $300 and jump over the WH fence and wiggle door knobs.
Cut it out. You are making me laugh!
I want the visitor logs from Jeffrey Epstein’s Orgy Island Hotel.
Thanks, I had no idea it was so old and that DJT bought Mar-a-Lago for a mere $5 million!
Private organization. None of their damned business.
This doesn’t sound believable.
In a high class establishment like Mar a Lago they would sign in with name and patronymic, Ivan Michailovich, Boris Denisovich, Pyotr Illych, or Vladimir Vladimirovich [shhhhh - his plane is at the dark end of PBIa in a private hanger]

Democrats are totalitarians.
I have yet to read an MSM story that doesn’t add the gratuitous *self-proclaimed*.
Wherever residence the POTUS regularly uses for vacations in winter is normally designated the Winter White House.
Just another example of how they made us hate them.
Screw them, Obama claimed it was a “Different” Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright who visited him in the White House but no pictures of the other men with these controversial names were ever released.
Liberal left MSM is nasty, mean, stupid, etc. etc.
It's a Private Club! The President can go wherever he wants, and those private places don't need to be set up like the White House! Just like if he came to my house, I can set it up any way I want. Stupid dem complainers.
Well, could the same have been said for all the golf courses that Obama frequented? Any member or visitor to the golf course could get into proximity of Obama. I'm sure President Trump's security detail makes sure no one gets close and goes "Boom", just as with Obama.
Shoulda been “They will stop at nothing to start at nothing” That’s worth pondering.
