... The Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach, a charity focused on the ritzy island’s architectural landmarks, had planned to hold a dinner dance at Mar-a-Lago next March.

4. He's certifiable all right. Just

not sure which diagnosis is correct. We may not even know in our lifetime. This may the fodder of autopsy. Okay, not in MY lifetime. He ain't that much older than I so I may never know which affliction took him down - but greed is my personal choice.

5. This is awesome...he's toxic now.

It's going to be an avalanche of people and companies shunning and rolling over this bastard. Now THIS will get his attention, it's costing him money and disgracing and embarrassing him.

8. At the point that it

6. I have the feeling all of those immigrant visas he requested may not be needed. Sad. n/t

7. Will Trump be the first Prez to declare financial and moral bankruptcy in office.

9. if those trump kids love their dad and their wealth they better get him out of there now....

....while they still have both!

10. I can't read this...not a subscriber. Did it say why it had canceled? nt

[Rhiannon12866]

13. Just that they didn't like "the current environment" of the place.

Can't say I blame them - or anyone.

[Honeycombe8]

14. Oh....Thx. Wow. Another one bites the dust. This is amazing. And a good thing.nt

11. Loss of money will get Trump's attention.
