One word. In 1993, Donald Trump's own lawyer told the Palm Beach town council that Trump would not continue to live at Mar-a-Lago. He would be a member of the new club, and could use its guest rooms. Members were limited to seven days in a row and twenty-one days a year. Then came a conservation easement, a 2002 deed that gave away the estate's development rights and cut his tax bill by almost half, a headline that said "Mar-a-Lago will forever be a club," and in 2019, a declaration of domicile listing Mar-a-Lago as his home.
Why isn't Donald Trump supposed to live at Mar-a-Lago? This is the record: the heiress who left it to the presidents, the deal he bought it with, the lawsuits against the town, the neighbors' letter of 2020, the town attorney who decided he could stay as a "bona fide employee," the boxes found in a ballroom and a bathroom, and the New York judge who read the deeds. Trump denies all wrongdoing. The town of Palm Beach has never ordered him out, the documents case was dismissed, and the fraud penalty was thrown out on appeal while the fraud finding stood.

His whole life he’s cheated on his taxes
I've seen the actual docs - it was a typical Trump tax-swizz. The "social club" conditions are strict-as -- and strengthened "in perpetuity" by deed in 2002.
And I've been trying to warn Michael Wolff about this non-location ever since "residential address" became an issue in his SLAPP response to that Melania court threat.
