'The Grifter's Club'
It’s the place where President Donald Trump comes to unwind with friends and supporters, where issues of national security have been hashed out at candle-lit tables in front of wealthy socialites, where an overeager retiree once posted a selfie on Facebook with a presidential aide-de-camp holding what looked very much like the “nuclear football.”
And it’s where multiple “Chinese tourists” have been caught trespassing under mysterious circumstances.
Mar-a-Lago, the sumptuous Spanish-style villa in Palm Beach built by cereal heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post, is now the primary residence of Donald J. Trump.
And it is the subject of a soon-to-be released book by four journalists who have covered Mar-a-Lago for the Miami Herald, the book publisher announced Wednesday.
“The Grifter’s Club,” subtitled “Trump, Mar-a-Lago, and the Selling of the Presidency,” is written by Sarah Blaskey, Caitlin Ostroff (now with the Wall Street Journal), Nicholas Nehamas and Jay Weaver.
Publishing house PublicAffairs calls it “a breakthrough account of the palatial resort where President Trump conducts government business with little regard for ethics, security, or the law.”
