•Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort has become a 'sad place' since he moved in, an expert on the resort told MSNBC.

•Members are quitting and want nothing to do with Trump, Laurence Leamer told the cable channel.

•Previous reports said that Trump's Florida neighbors have taken legal action to stop him from taking up residence.

The author of "Mar-a-Lago: Inside the Gates of Power at Donald Trump's Presidential Palace" then remarked that members are leaving due to concerns that they might be featured in newspaper articles.

Leamer says Trump's declining popularity has also turned off members.
Leamer later added: "They're walking away from him. Even here, people don't like him."

I hope his neighbors raise hell and get his stank ass kicked out. Then I hope every bank he owes money to demands payment, and he's imprisoned before he can file for bankruptcy. Theres a few things I'd like to see happen to him in prison as well. Then I hope he dies in prison the day before he's to be released. Other than that, though, no ill will wished upon him.

himself in constant self pity mode, I would think that could get kind of depressing. I picture him, sidling up to the omelet bar, overloading his plate with lousy, overcooked eggs, and then glancing around for the table with the coolest kids, heads their way. They spot him coming and quickly kick the extra chair away and spread out their stuff, while looking down so as not to make eye contact.

He is our national embarrassment and shunning is too good for him.
