Outgoing US President Donald Trump will spend his last term in Palm Beach, Florida, saying he will rest for a few days “before the second term begins.”
It’s Trump’s last Christmas as a tenant in the White House and the outgoing head of state chose the mansion built in the late 1920s in Palm Beach, and called “Mar-a-Lago” after the 2016 presidential victory. to spend Christmas with the family.
Trump asked to be welcomed “while enjoying a dozen days of vacation” in his winter residence “before the second term begins.”
Trump’s message keeps the gap with reality evident. Less than a month after leaving the White House, the outgoing president still does not recognize the victory of Democrat Joe Biden in the presidential election on November 3 and maintains the thesis of electoral fraud.
Remember that President-elect Biden’s victory has already been ratified by the Electoral College – he got the same 306 large voters that Trump won four years ago.
Still, Trump, who is largely isolated by the unfounded charges, upholds allegations of voter fraud, allegedly blamed on a Democratic conspiracy.
All the demands that the president and his candidacy have presented in the US court have been rejected for lack of evidence and even the leader of the Republican majority in the Senate, Mitch McConnell, has already congratulated Biden on the victory.
McConnell only did so after the Electoral College victory was confirmed. Before that, he stood by Trump’s side as one of the voices proclaiming the lies of voter fraud.
No matter how much evidence is presented, Trump prefers to maintain a speech that resonates, particularly with Florida supporters.
Florida is one of Trump’s “unshakable” states. The still American head of state won the victory in this typically republican state, in 2016 (48.6%), against the democrat Hillary Clinton, and in 2020 (51.2%), against the also democrat Joe Biden, who finished by win the national elections.
This Palm Beach property has been the President’s personal residence for legal purposes since 2019 (previously the Trump Tower in New York).
Trump’s time at “Mar-a-Lago” has often been remembered for his time playing golf.
And despite the pandemic and the measures enacted in various parts of the country to curb the spread of SARS-CoV-2, Trump maintains the party that was scheduled for these days in Mar-a-Lago, reports the Palm Beach Post.
However, this may not be Donald Trump’s permanent residence for much longer. Reginald G. Staumbach, a lawyer for that region, said this week on behalf of a client, who was not identified, that Trump lost the right to reside in that property in 1993 after an agreement with local authorities on the use of the mansion , erected on a 7.2 hectares of land.
This agreement allegedly stipulates that in exchange for keeping the mansion built almost 100 years ago, Trump would have to turn it into a private club, but the members of this club could not stay more than 21 consecutive days living in it.
In addition, the newspaper “Miami Herald” reports that in 2002 Trump reached an agreement with the non-governmental organization (NGO) National Trust for Historic Preservation (National Fund for Historic Preservation) in which it was explicit that, through a decrease Of the taxes he would pay on the property, Trump would give up the right to use it “for purposes other than those of the club.”
