The use of Mar-a-Lago as former US President Donald Trump's permanent home is under legal review by the town of Palm Beach, Florida, and the arrangement may be discussed at the upcoming town council meeting, the town manager told CNN, the latter reported.
When Trump turned the private residence into a social club, he had agreed with the town to limit his stays at Mar-a-Lago, and now some Palm Beach residents say he is violating that agreement.
Trump bought the former estate of Marjorie Merriweather Post in 1985, and subsequently turned it into a members' only club in 1993. The plan was—as with most Trump deals—to turn a profit. Yet in order to transform the private residence into a revenue-generating business, Trump had to agree to certain limitations, based on guidelines presented as deal-breakers from Palm Beach.
For example, there could be no more than 500 members, there were rules concerning parking and traffic, and club members—Trump included—could not spend more than seven consecutive days at Mar-a-Lago, or no more than three weeks total a year.
