Since departing from the White House in January, former President Donald Trump has been living at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida full-time. However, as many locals have brought up the agreement he made in 1993, the Palm Beach Council will not conduct a review as to whether Trump will now be allowed to reside there.
The town council of Palm Beach is undergoing a deliberation to decide whether Trump can stay at his Mar-a-Lago resort full time. This is despite Trump facing an impeachment trial before the Senate this week. The council will hear from the attorney’s opinion on whether it can stop Trump from residing in his club due to the 1993 agreement Trump made with the town. The agreement was that Trump cannot reside in the town should he convert Mar-a-Lago from a residence to a resort.
The agreement was brought up when a neighbor in the area through an attorney sent a letter to the council demanding that the former president stop living at the resort. The neighbor cited that the former president actively residing at Mar-a-Lago would lower property values in the area.
It should be noted that Trump is technically an employee of the corporation that owns Mar-a-Lago and the written agreement only states that members are not allowed to live there. Via the town’s regulations, the club can provide onsite housing to employees. Trump returns to being an employee after leaving office last January 20. Trump and former first lady Melania Trump have since changed their voting address to Mar-a-Lago back in 2019 and have been voting in the state.
Aside from the possibility that Trump may not be allowed to reside in Mar-a-Lago full time, Trump was recently issued a permanent ban from SAG-AFTRA. The organization’s National Board announced that they passed a resolution permanently barring Trump from re-applying for membership in the union. This was in light of Trump’s involvement during the January 6 riots at the Capitol that led to the union to discuss disciplinary action. This also led to Trump issuing a resignation letter upon receiving a threat of getting kicked out.
“Preventing Donald Trump from ever rejoining SAG-AFTRA is more than a symbolic step. It is a resounding statement that threatening or inciting harm against fellow members will not be tolerated. An attack against one is an attack against all,” said SAG-AFTRA president Gabrielle Carteris in a statement.
