Next-door neighbors of Mar-a-Lago have a message for outgoing President Donald Trump: We don’t want you to be our neighbor.
The Washington Post reported Tuesday that a demand letter was sent to the town of Palm Beach and the U.S. Secret Service to try to keep Trump from becoming a permanent resident at his private club.
There’s some question whether Trump is legally allowed to live at the club because of an agreement he signed in the early 1990s. He’s expected to make Mar-a-Lago his legal residence after he leaves office in January.
In the letter obtained by the Post, an attorney for the DeMoss family says Palm Beach should tell Trump he can’t use the club as a residence and “avoid an embarrassing situation” if the outgoing president has to leave later.
A White House spokesperson, Trump’s local attorney and Palm Beach’s mayor did not respond to requests for comment from the Washington Post. To date, Palm Beach has made no public attempt to prevent Trump from living at Mar-a-Lago or from using it as his legal residence.
But Trump and the town have a long history of disagreements and lawsuits.
Trump made Mar-a-Lago his official home when he registered to vote using that address earlier this year. He previously was registered in Manhattan.
