One (of likely many) last grifts from Donald

Count on it.

“A post-president Trump is likely to bill the federal government for an excessively lavish vacation/office space at one of his own resorts, such as Mar-a-Lago, which, in effect, will also be double billing,” Holman said. “Not only will Trump receive luxurious office space free of charge, taxpayer dollars paying for it will go into Trump’s own pocket.”

Maybe not quite as luxurious as he's used to, but already paid for by the federal government. (Or maybe State of New York...)

He'll still be entitled to an office budget.

But GSA has to approve the space. And I doubt they'll approve Mar-a-Lago.
