Mar-a-Lago remains a top destination for charities despite concerns about Trump
PALM BEACH, Fla. — Everywhere she goes, Rep. Lois Frankel says, she encounters people who are still feeling traumatized by the presidential election.
“The emotions people still have are incredible. I feel like I’m everyone’s psychiatrist,” the Democratic congresswoman from Palm Beach County said. “I’m pretty bummed about it myself.”
But that didn’t stop her from attending a gala at Donald Trump’s Florida home, which is in her district, less than a month after Election Day.
“It’s not like I didn’t think about it,” Frankel said about wining, dining and dancing with the elite of Palm Beach at Mar-a-Lago, the lavish mansion owned by the president-elect.
The question of whether to use Trump’s estate during the charity season has rattled Palm Beach society. But the consensus seems to be that, whatever they may think of Trump, Mar-a-Lago is a great place to party and raise money.
