Does Trump Go To Mar-A-Lago So Much Because He Believes The WH Is....

[global1]

haunted? Is he haunted by past presidents when he is in the WH? Paranoid!!!

[JI7]

1. no, because the white house is not plastered in cheap gold crap

[forgotmylogin]

26. And there are people at Mar-a-Lago to cater to him.

The people he's probably considering the White House "servants" probably aren't having it.

[2naSalit]

2. He thinks that

"his" property isn't monitored and he can party with his handlers who show up from other countries to get his next set of instructions and $$.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. The WH doesn't have enough gold.

[Lotusflower70]

4. He can't handle it

He is comfortable in his familiar. He is an insecure little man and all the history of the White House overwhelms him. He will never measure up. He is a creature of habit. I bet he misses his golden palace.

[Lefthacker]

5. He's a lazy

Fucker that's why.
He feels controlled in Washington. I'm so damn mad right now. I knew if the unthinkable happened and he sat his fat ass in the oval office it would be bad. I'm afraid the path our country is on could be catastrophic. I underestimated how horrific this is going to be. His asshole followers may very well become violent, and I don't mean just when the shit comes down, but for years to come.

[Eliot Rosewater]

28. Most underestimated. I, on the other hand, screamed about this all day every day

for a year, especially at the Bernie types who insisted that Hillary was no better than fuckface.

Funny given I voted for Bernie even, but that is in the past and want to know the WORST part? Those SAME people are probably going to continue to not vote for Democrats unless they get the pure candidates they want.

[Blue_true]

33. Sad people.

They keep voting third party and electing republicans, then have the ordacity to whine about the country being pulled to the right.

[HipChick]

6. He has not been back to Trump Tower since Jan 20th..

Marriage is a sham...credibility gone...

[dchill]

7. The White House is bugged!

[dixiegrrrrl]

13. MarLego is not bugged, he thinks. It also has unsecured wi-fi..

which, if he understood anything computer-wise, means anyone can hack into the Gov't talk on the system.

Not the it needs a hacker...he blathers loudly all over the place.

And likes to play golf, vs. actual work

AND, all those club members are friendly and supportive, cause they get to see the PRESIDENT!!!!

[MFM008]

18. With every one that works

There. I bet it is bugged.

[Doreen]

8. Only the ghosts of past presidents who thinks he is stupid....

.....oh, wait, that would be all of them.

[rpannier]

22. James Buchanan and Andrew Johnson go to bask in Hair Douchengroper's glow

They are in awe that there is now someone much worse than they ever were occupying the White House
Warren G Harding is also thrilled as well for the same reason

[Doreen]

41. Very good point. Ahhh, someone does like him....how flippin sweet.

[Warpy]

9. He just doesn't like it there

There's no golf course, the rooms are all done in genuine antiques instead of the reproductions he prefers (no dings), and there are very little gilt and marble. The rooms are small and the ceilings aren't open to the floor above, making them seem even smaller.

Now if they'd moved the White House into the Breakers in Newport, RI, he might enjoy it a bit more, especially if they gilded more of the marble and brought in a train load of reproduction furniture. Still wouldn't have a golf course, though.

[sheshe2]

10. Nope.

'Cause he can be free to....

[Hekate]

21. Love George Takei!!!

[sheshe2]

24. He really nails it!

[BainsBane]

43. That's already a classic

I love it.

[mtngirl47]

11. I think he goes so he can be the big guy on campus...

He can strut around while people are at his beck and call...and all of his paying guests can look upon him adoringly.

And so he won't have to think about all that hard stuff back in Washington.

[forgotmylogin]

27. And he probably likes his well-heeled audience.

Watching him do physical "presidentin'" stuff.

[marybourg]

12. bugged? nt

[KT2000]

14. I believe he goes there

so he can charge the taxpayers for his stay and that of all the secret service and cabinet members. Would love to see his travel vouchers for each trip. I bet he even charges the government for his rounds of golf.

[BlueStater]

15. He has zero respect for the office or its history.

So, no, he isn't haunted.

[Mendocino]

16. Every night when he's in the WH,

the ghost of Lincoln comes into his room, says WTH and slaps him across the face.

[rpannier]

23. A. Johnson, Buchanan and Harding all smile

There's someone worse than they occupying the White House

[Mendocino]

25. But Harding is alive and well in the WH.

He just goes by the name Mike Pence. There is a certain resemblance both in appearance and ability.

[TeamPooka]

17. Mar a Lago is where he goes to be a big shot, play golf, and not work.

[forgotmylogin]

29. And this "Winter White House" bullcrap terminology needs to stop.

They do that so they can say he's working when he's vacationing every weekend.

Trump seriously thinks he's doing a 9-5 business hours job, apparently.

[TeamPooka]

38. Winter White House stopped already. They switched to "Southern White House" so he can go

all year round.
Google it

[forgotmylogin]

42. THAT'S EVEN WORSE!

[TeamPooka]

45. well, yeah. It's Trump. Nothing is good anymore. nt

[Eyeball_Kid]

31. Hmm. The only thing missing in the White House is the golf. Maybe...

he can order Easter Bunny Spicer to set up a miniature golf course on the White House lawn. I'm sure Sean would love the extra project. Then Playbaby Trumpy will have all of his needs satiated.

[JTFrog]

19. Mango-A-Lardo has a direct connection to Pooty-Poot.

Both for telling Trump what to do and for potentially blackmailing all the foreign dignitaries he keeps parading around.

[Solly Mack]

20. Trump is the type of old person who doesn't like

new places because he has to get used to them and he's done getting used to new places and only wants to be where he knows his surroundings and feels comfortable. Where he feels in-charge. Trump is feeble that way. It's why he needs his daughter Ivanka or SIL Jared around.

Trump is not, and never will be, the kind of person who can walk the halls of the WH and know that's where they belong.

Because Trump knows he doesn't belong.

[samnsara]

30. someone should go running thru the white house in a white sheet....oh wait...

..sessions already does!

[phylny]

48. Well, that made me smile. n/t

[TNLib]

32. No he goes there because it's tacky

and filled with tacky people like himself where he feels at home. Also just a few minutes away from his luxury golf course so he doesn't have to work. He's basically lazy.

[lunatica]

34. He can't hold court in the White House

And he can't golf there either.

He doesn't golf in other people's gold courses, so he has to go to his own, so his courtiers can pay to golf with him.

[JHan]

35. He doesn't have the stamina to stay in the W.H. and do his job.

So he needs to go mar a lago to golf every weekend.

[Initech]

36. I saw a tweet a couple of weeks ago that said Trump wasn't the president, he's a retiree.

That's why he spends so much time in Florida.

[CrispyQ]

37. He goes there to snort coke without worrying about WH leaks. --nt

[mentalsolstice]

39. Spray tan booth is there.

They wouldn't let him install one in the WH. The WH archivists are already terrified of him leaving orange stains on the furniture.

[hatrack]

44. I wondered where the paint shop was . . .

[Orsino]

40. He goes because he is bored, hidebound and very, very lazy. n/t

[Buns_of_Fire]

46. The WH immune system is rejecting a foreign body. nt

[Vinca]

47. There's probably not enough gold plating in the White House for his gawdy taste.

[jmowreader]

49. Everyone posting in this thread so far doesn't understand the reality that is Donald Trump

He doesn't go to Palm Beach every weekend because of the ghosts in the White House, the lack of gold-plated fixtures, the lack of people fawning over him in DC, or even that he'd have to sign his KGB handler into the White House if he stayed there. The truth is worse.

Donald Trump is retaliating against the residents of Palm Beach for the way they've treated him. Read this:

http://www.vanityfair.com/style/2016/12/how-donald-trump-beat-palm-beach-society-and-won-the-fight-for-mar-a-lago

This article describes how Trump got the property in the first place. It is essentially a variation on the Eye-Sore Business described in Edgar Allan Poe's short story "The Business Man." What you need to understand is, Mar-a-Lago isn't beachfront property. It backs up to the Intercoastal Waterway. There's a road and another property between Mar-a-Lago and the ocean. The people who owned the big house didn't want to sell it to a boor like Trump, so he bought the house across the street from it and threatened to build an ugly house that would block Mar-a-Lago's view of the ocean if they didn't sell him Mar-a-Lago. After he squeezed the previous owners down to $8 million he then proceeded to really piss them the fuck off by converting what was always a single-family home into a social club.

As a result, Palm Beach is probably the only place in America that hates Donald Trump more than New York City. They've never accepted him. So...now that he has the opportunity to pay back the Old Money for their sin of not loving The Donald, he's taking it...and them, every chance he gets.

[Buns_of_Fire]

51. That's Our Donald -- making new friends wherever he goes! nt

[MineralMan]

50. He can also meet people there without having them

seen coming in the White House door. What people? Any people.

Say, Yuri, if you show up at Mar-a-Lago on Wednesday, we can meet on Sunday morning, and you can fly back to Moscow on Monday afternoon. Have your driver drop you at the service entrance and ask for Ernie. He'll set you up, and nobody will be the wiser. I'll drop by your suite on Sunday.
