Mar-a-Lago members can't even talk their friends into being seen at the club, so Trump allies are filling the empty space.Source: Caroline Orr

Mar-a-Lago was once considered the place to be in the Palm Beach social scene. However, since Trump took office, the ritzy resort has suffered a serious blow to its reputation due to its association with the embarrassment named Trump.
In August, at least 16 charities pulled their events from Mar-a-Lago after Trump blamed the violence in Charlottesville on both sides and referred to white supremacists as very fine people.

Among those slated to host events at Trumps resort in the near future are televangelist Pat Robertson head of the Christian Broadcasting Network and a steadfast Trump supporter along with the Trumpettes, a pro-Trump fan club comprised of wealthy older women.
The event hosted by the Christian Broadcasting Network will be its first at Mar-a-Lago, and according to Newsweek, Robertson scheduled the gala just so it could take place there.
Another group of Trump supporters called The Young Republican National Federation hosted its first event at Mar-a-Lago just last week. The gala featured a speech from singer and Trump cheerleader Joy Villa, who celebrated conspiracy theorist and Sandy Hook-denier Alex Jones, Newsweek reported.

(8,084 posts)2. Why is it charity using a ritzy location for an event?
I never give to Charities that are so big they throw Big Rich parties.
If you are a charity that can afford to book at Mar Lago you don't need my Goddamn money
