    I don’t know… maybe she should give him until the end of the summer.

    Of course, they could also sell fireworks out of there for Independence Day…

        Maybe a one-time exception needs to be made. I’m sure NYC would be collectively celebrating if he’s forced to clear out of there.

        It’s not legal where I live either, but stores open up selling them anyway. 🤷

        Would a flea market full of cheap illegal Chinese counterfeits of high-end fashion items work?

        Actually, the supremacy clause of the constitution protects any state or federal law enforcement from taking place on property owned by the president (or former president).

        Unfortunately, that wouldn’t be proportional enough. Nothing he has is of any value or has any artistic merit. It’s gaudy and everything is covered in fake gold.

        But it should happen anyway.

          I wonder why he bought Mar-a-Lago from Marjorie Post? Couldn’t be that she was a collector of imperial Russian art, could it? How much of that ended up going to Putin over the years?
