By David A. Fahrenthold
May 5 at 2:03 PM

... Trump is now at his golf club in Bedminster ... So far, he has spent seven weekends at .. Mar-a-Lago Club ... But now .. the club is about to close for the summer ...

people who .. inquired about membership in the club .. were quoted initiation fees between $75,000 and $100,000, in addition to $22,100 annual dues ...

Dipshit donnie's representative Ed Russo was talking about him wanting to be buried there and having a cemetery.

Which Trumps might be buried there, exactly?

Of course it's primarily about increasing the value of his property and well, golf - that goes without saying.

But think of the not-so-cheap-thrill he gets being the Grand Marshall of mini parades to and from AF1, various helipads, then off to a branded golf course.

It's like that scene in the movie Soapdish with Sally Field, where she plays an aging soap actress who heads out to a NJ mall and stages a spontaneous autograph signing among the adoring fans whenever her ego needed a bump up.

I know he's more likely to see non-adoring fans along his route, but the lights, the sirens, the pomp and circumstance of it all. Pure "Look at me!, Look at Me!"
