PALM BEACH, Fla. Everything seemed to sparkle at the Mar-a-Lago estate here on a recent afternoon. The sun glinted off the pool and the black Secret Service S.U.V.s in the circular driveway. Palm trees rustled in a warm breeze, croquet balls clicked and a security guard stood at the entrance to Donald J. Trumps private living quarters
You can always tell when the king is here, Mr. Trumps longtime butler here, Anthony Senecal, said of the master of the house and Republican presidential candidate.
The king was returning that day to his Versailles, a 118-room snowbirds paradise that will become a winter White House if he is elected president. Mar-a-Lago is where Mr. Trump comes to escape, entertain and luxuriate in a Mediterranean-style manse, built 90 years ago by the cereal heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post.
When the King is here. If want to know what tRump's reign over America would look like here is a preview. Forget the Bentley, load up the tumbrel carts.

(972 posts)1. I work as a project manager for a general contractor
that specializes in historic restoration & rehabilitation. Our clientele is usually part of the 1%. I can personally attest that the vast majority are of a different species than the rest of us.
Perhaps these experiences have shown me why we need BERNIE now more than ever.

the Ruling Class families. They do not have a clue nor do they care. What a bunch of slobs.
