Trump to flee Washington and seek rehabilitation in a MAGA oasis: Florida

President Trump will leave Washington this week politically wounded, silenced on social media and essentially unwelcome in his lifelong hometown of New York.

By migrating instead to Palm Beach, Fla., Trump plans to inhabit an alternative reality of adoration and affirmation. The defeated president will take up residence at his gilded Mar-a-Lago Club, where dues-paying members applaud him whenever he eats meals or mingles on the deck. He is sure to take in the same celebratory fervor whenever he plays golf at one of the two Trump-branded courses nearby.

In Florida — one of only two top battleground states Trump won in November — Trump will be living in a veritable MAGA oasis, to use the acronym for his “Make American Great Again” campaign slogan. South Florida has fast become a hub of right-wing power brokers and media characters, and some of Trump’s adult children are making plans to move to the area.

Even as Trump broods privately over his second impeachment this past week and the election he continues to falsely insist he won, his aides are at work to establish a Trump fiefdom in the Sunshine State aimed at maintaining his influence over Republican politics, according to allies and advisers, some of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity to reveal internal discussions.

The irony is that he is widely shunned in both the Town of Palm Beach and the County of Palm Beach, where he lost substantially to both Hillary and Joe Biden.

. . . want him out. They were not amused about his mask-less New Year's party with Vanilla Ice. Trump couldn't even high tail it to Scotland -- the birth place of his mother -- before the door got slammed in his face. As General Mattis said, Trump is a man without a country.

A whole lot of Republicans are going to be blaming him for their losses this past election. He capped off a horrible year with a horrible riot that he incited.

He doubled the dues the moment he won, and doesn't seem to realize
it was only his Pres. status that people were flocking around.

His club minions will drop him like a rock, if they haven't already.
Hell, he just fleeced them $1200.00 a head to be at his New Year's Eve
party and then didn't even appear himself.

I have no idea why even brain ded Rudy bothers with him.

The town of Palm Beach will go after him if he tries. He signed an agreement years ago promising to not use it as a permanent residence,

Oh well, it's probably just a stopover on his way to Moscow.
