Though our idea of a typical housing dispute might involve who at the last piece of pizza, this one is nonetheless relatable. Donald Trump‘s Mar-a-Lago neighbors in Palm Beach, Florida are demanding he find somewhere else to call home once he packs up his toothbrush and exits the White House in January.
Unsurprisingly, Trump is opting not to return to his New York City digs once he’s out of office. He’s not exactly gained favor in Manhattan during his presidency. Now the Palm Beach community is using a legal dispute to try to get him to settle down somewhere else.

According to the Washington Post, the neighbors sent a demand letter to the town and to Trump arguing that because he converted the massive estate from a residence to a private club in 1993, he can no longer claim it as his permanent residence.
How about we take this to the next level?

“Under the agreement,” the paper explains, “club members are banned from spending more than 21 days a year in the club’s guest suites and cannot stay there for any longer than seven consecutive days. Before the arrangement was sealed, an attorney for Trump assured the town council in a public meeting that he would not live at Mar-a-Lago.”

The neighbors claim Trump should be held to the same rule.
Additionally, they say that a deal he made with the National Trust for Historic Preservation to list the property, completed in 1927, as a historic site explicitly states Trump “agreed to ‘forever’ relinquish his rights to develop Mar-a-Lago or to use it for ‘any purpose other than club use.'”
The letter suggests Trump should “avoid an embarrassing situation” and find another property to bask in the warm glow of his legacy.
Mister P
I don’t want him near me either.

How could trump “avoid and embarrassing situation”? Trump IS an embarrassing situation.
leelord
Not a truer thing was ever said… Trump IS the embarrassment as is his legacy.
WashDrySpin
they voted for him so they can and should keep him

Is there a small island he could go to where he could live by himself with staff? I suggest Alcatraz.
Goforit
Oh no you don’t. What did we in California do to make you hate us? For that matter, what did Loser Trump’s staff do?
Peanutella
Isn’t the Epstein Island in Florida? I hear that’s available…

What a bunch of haters.

Who specifically? Trump neighbours? Q commentators? Humans in general? Martians perhaps? Please provide context.

I love it when Republican trolls, who always refer to the GOP as “The party of personal responsibility” start crying when a people demand a Republican abide by an agreement.
Trump signed a contract agreeing that Mara Largo could not be used as a personal residence. He signed it, he needs to live by it.
But it’s cute you guys keep showing what liars you all are.

Curoibi and Cam.
Mr. Cam puts words in people’s mouths, against the Q comment policy. Nobody said a thing about personal responsibility or admitted to being a republican. But, I understand. CAM has issues.
A long time back CAM admitted to being (in his own words) “a self hating gay” and said he asked his mom for conversation therapy *and* threatened to kill himself if she didn’t pay. Right CAM? So, dude, take your issues to the therapist’s office and spew them there.
We don’t need to hear personal stuff like that. Besides, we’re all strangers here. Do you really put your personal issues out there in front of strangers?
Take it easy dude. Think before you type. You’re starting to become Bernardo1985. That’s not good.

He really should just retire to Russia or North Korea since he’s such a fangirl of their despots.
Mack
I think he’s going to end up in either anyway. He’ll do so to avoid jail in NY.
Josh447
It’s not the first time he’s shot himself in the foot and definitely not the last.
Cam
No surprise, Trump made a lousy business deal.

Is there a prison in Florida Orangeturd can be assigned to?

Mars? It suits his color palette.

Mar-a-lago may be owned by Deutsch Bank before too long. He owes them over $400 million and they will not give him anymore extensions and payback. He has until June 2021. He may also loose other Trump towers around the world or golf courses etc…

I’d be willing to make a cement-weighted body bag – if someone wants to do the deed! Biscayne Bay would be a good dumping spot!

Trump Plaza in Atlantic City is being imploded January 29. So if he moved in…

And Rent comes to mind… “Not in my backyard utensils, go back to China.” Though in this case, replace utensils with the synonym tool and China with Russia. And that sums up many places around the country where he could possibly try to take up residence.
