Washington Post: “Whatever situations the former president might be facing, they’re not in evidence here. At the club, which doubles as his private residence and reportedly boasts 58 bedrooms, 33 bathrooms and 12 fireplaces, Donald Trump is seen the way he likes to be seen. In this alternate reality he has built for himself, guests view him as the rightful winner of the 2020 election, still refer to him as ‘Mr. President’ and greet him with standing ovations when he enters the gold-covered rooms.”
“Outside the compound walls, Lobaido said, Trump is often ‘ridiculed wherever he goes.’ But Mar-a-Lago is his ‘castle’ and his ‘comfort zone’ and a place to be surrounded by ‘like-minded people.’”
