A HERETIC I AM

37. I understand the point you are making, but Mar-A-Lago DOESN'T HAVE A GOLF COURSE!!!

There is no golf course called "Mar-a-Lago" and the one he plays at in West Palm Beach is the Trump International, West Palm Beach and that is located 3.75 miles west of Mar-a-Lago.

I realize it isn't a massive point, and I know you aren't deliberately being obtuse, but I have seen this sort of comment way too many times on DU and it's annoying! LOL


Here is Mar-a-Lago;

Here is Trump Int'l WPB;

And here is the distance between them;



And for the record, this dopey "Alligator Alcatraz" place is located on the "Dade-Collier Transition and Training Airport" which was built in the 1970's, originally intended to be the largest airport in the world at the time and is located 78 miles to the southwest of Mar-a-Lago and 44 miles west of downtown Miami. A lot of people are making it sound like they built the whole installation in a week, but all they did was move some tents and mobile office trailers in and parked them on a taxiway that was installed 55 years ago. The chain link fence with the barbed wire on top? Also been there for decades.

And another for the record, the Miccosukee Indians have been living in the Everglades in the area around the airport for a few hundred years and don't get wiped out by mosquitos or hurricanes or summer heat and humidity.

I'm not defending Rhonda Santis or Trumpy and this absurd grandstanding bullshit, but accuracy is important.

Also, the reason Mar-a-Lago closes in the summer is because all the old money folks go back north to Newport or the Hamptons for the summer, because WPB is fucking humid and hot as hell from May through September, and no one wants to go to a charity event when they start sweating the second they get out of the car!
