Mar-a-Lago: Where Donald Trump learned to be king

President Trump has not changed much since the day he bought his 17-acre Palm Beach estate, Mar-a-Lago, in 1985, New York Times best-selling author Laurence Leamer shared on “Salon Talks” with Dean Obeidallah. The gilded, exclusive club, where Trump still retreats on weekends as president, is a window into his deepest insecurities and gives further insight into what lies ahead for the president’s legacy. Leamer, who embedded with the upper crust of Palm Beach while doing research for his latest book “Mar-a-Lago: Inside the Gates of Power at Donald Trump’s Presidential Palace,” and even dined at the club while Trump was present, says that even though Trump once donned himself “the king of Palm Beach,” he was never truly accepted by the old money legacies of Palm Beach. _____________________________________ Subscribe to SalonTV’s Channel HERE: For more content from SalonTV, click HERE: Like Salon on Facebook HERE: .
