There are increasing reports from the USA that the members of his golf club are running away from former President Donald Trump.
Trump himself has not yet commented on this.
According to US media reports, the membership of
Donald Trump's
golf club is falling.
Many of them no longer want to be associated with him, so one of the arguments.
Trump himself is currently in
Mar-a-Lago
.
Mar-a-Lago -
Donald Trump has
not been the President of the United States
for over a week
.
Before his successor
Joe Biden was
inaugurated
, the 74-year-old traveled to Florida to his property in
Mar-a-Lago
.
The 45th President of the USA wants to start his post-presidential life there, shielded by high walls and security personnel.
But
Trump
was not welcomed warmly.
Several airplane banners covered him with malice, one of them read, for example: "Trump, you poor loser, go back to Moscow." And numerous members in his
golf resort
are likely to be bad at Trump.
Many do not want to be associated with him after his presidency, says
Laurence Leamer
, author of the book "Mar-a-Lago: Inside the Gates of Power at Donald Trump's Presidential Palace".

In the US TV program “Weekends with Alex Witt”, which
focus online
first
reported
in Germany
, Leamer said of Trump's
golf resort
: “It's a disenchanted place.” He would have
heard about
it from former members.
Mar-a-Lago
can no longer adorn itself with the fact that the ruling president is the owner, that bothers many.
An unnamed source reported to the
Palm Beach Post
: "I know two families who
want to
cancel
their
membership
." Even well-heeled members would toy with the idea of not paying the annual membership fee of $ 16,000 and leaving the club to resign.
"Some think he's a traitor and a disaster for democracy," the source said.
Trump's golf club in Mar-a-Lago: Ex-President bought the private property over 35 years ago
For
Trump
, the club is an important retreat, he bought the private property over 35 years ago.
Then eight years ago he signed an agreement that allowed him
to turn
the private residence into a
golf club
.
Trump had to accept a number of guidelines imposed on him by the Palm Beach local government, including that the club could not have more than 500 members and a maximum length of stay was set.
Especially with the last rule,
Trump
did not take it too seriously during his tenure.
Trump traveled to
Mar-a-Lago a
full 30 times in the past four years
, spending 130 days there.
That is 46 more than allowed, reports the
Washington Post
.
The TV channel
CNN
said local residents that the visits were the president noise and organizational chaos brought about the city: "It was a nightmare." The residents of
Palm Beach
and the former president, this would not be fit together: "Like oil and water - it just doesn't mix. "
