LIR: ty97. How is this much different than other presidents with property on martha's vineyard or wherever they go? - oblique, SuperFeud Champion Feb 13, 07:54 20
- i have no problem with a President having a private retreat. I don't feel like other Presidents went away practically every weekend. -- nm - Andie Feb 13, 07:57 2

        Mar-A-Lago was government property for years but they decided it was too expensive to maintain and sold it to Trump. - spamlet Feb 13, 08:17 1
        
        Well, they gave it back to the Posts who sold it to Trump. - znufrii Feb 13, 08:19
