What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

[Admiral Yi]

Obviously we don't know how it'll turn out - but I feel that someone like Vargas Llosa could get one hell of a novel about Trump's post-presidency in Mar-a-Lago.

If he lives there.  He signed an agreement with Palm Beach when he built it that no one would be living at Mar-a-Largo for more than three nonconsecurtive weeks a year.

Palm Beach hasn't been able to enforce that agreement so far though.

Trump was in violation of the agreement as of a couple of hours ago today, so there hasn't really been time to enforce yet.

The matter is under review by town counsel.

He has stayed at Mar-a-Lago more than three times per year the past four years.

More than three times or weeks?

I assume that enforcement of the covenant would be prospective.

the limit he agreed to is 2 or 3 consecutive weeks.  Members are forbidden to stay more than 2 weeks in a row, and I think they can't stay more than a certain number of times in  year, though that does not apply to Trump himself, as the owner.  His only constraint is his agreement with the city on no permanent stay.

We'll see how that goes.  I doubt Palm Beach will oppose him.

I still think Vargas Llosa could do it even if he's living a peripatetic existence from golf club to golf club.

I feel like Amis would be good from an English language writer - he can do grotesques and there's something Trumpian in Money.

According to WaPo, the agreement is that only members and their guests can stay, no one can stay for more than seven consecutive days, no one can stay for more than 21 nights in a year, and there can be no more than 500 members.  Trump has no more rights than any other member.

According to the same article (https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/trump-mar-a-lago-neighbors-dispute/2020/12/15/bc2ce1d0-3ed4-11eb-9453-fc36ba051781_story.html) (might be paywalled for non-subscribers) he may be counting on the city's lax enforcement of the rules during his presidency to argue that they've given up the right to enforce the rules against him.

What the hell is wrong with that family.

Ugh... fucking trailer trash.

You know, I really had hopes that the Republicans were finally standing up to Trump.  For a week it looked like they were going to do it.  Now they are lining up around Trump again.  McCarthy just went down to Florida to kiss Trump's ass despite the fact the Trump isn't president and he shouldn't need to go down there for any reason.  They are all worrying about what the Republican base will think.  They are suppose to be leaders, they should be leading their people away from Trump.  Instead they just meekly go along with Trump and his insurrectionists.


What happened in the Capitol this month will happen again.  Maybe not an attack on the capitol but a bombing, or a shooting, or a standoff with the FBI.  And it will keep happening until Republicans stand up against Trump and his loony followers.

I wonder what's so good about Mar-a-Lago.  Why not Trump Tower?  Is it the food, climate, or what?
