 Inside the Gates of Power at Donald Trump’s Presidential Palace
“Where I am King”

Mar-a-Lago: Inside the Gates of Power at Donald Trump’s Presidential Palace is a Palm Beacher’s sophisticated take on Trump in paradise…Leamer shows how Trump tarnishes everything and everyone he touches. Leamer is an independent sort who refuses to become part of Trump’s world and needn’t make excuses.” – New York Daily News

“Back in the mid-90s, Trump was a nearly bankrupt grifter who fell in love – with a beachfront resort. To save Mar-a-Lago, he took on Palm Beach, went to war with the National Enquirer, and race-baited. It was the fight of his life, according to the author of Mar-a-Lago: Inside the Gates of Power at Donald Trump’s Presidential Palace, and it may have informed everything that came after.” – Vanity Fair

Description

Mar-a-lago

 

Mar-a-Lago- Donald J. Trump’s roots can be traced back to Palm Beach, Florida, where he honed the skills and techniques that eventually led him to the highest office in the United States. Over several decades, he meticulously crafted a world within this luxurious tropical paradise, a haven for the wealthy elite and billionaires.

 

Within this exclusive enclave, Trump not only holds the title of president but is also regarded as a king, with Mar-A-Lago serving as the pinnacle of his success. This grand mansion is a testament to his achievements, solidifying his status as a prominent figure in Palm Beach.

Delving into the narrative of Mar-A-Lago, readers will uncover how Donald Trump acquired this property, now valued at an astonishing $500,000,000, for a mere fraction of its worth. The tale also sheds light on Trump’s tumultuous relationship with the established elite of the island, who initially shunned him but ultimately faced his retaliation.

Furthermore, the book explores Trump’s collaboration with the National Enquirer, his strategic maneuvers during his divorce, and his unexpected role in integrating Palm Beach’s exclusive country club scene. These revelations offer a deeper understanding of Trump’s motivations and actions within the realm of Palm Beach society.

Laurence Leamer’s comprehensive account not only provides a behind-the-scenes look at Mar-A-Lago but also offers valuable insights into the intricate social fabric of Palm Beach. With firsthand experiences and in-depth interviews, Leamer paints a vivid picture of the dynamics at play within this affluent community, where he has resided for a quarter of a century.

By unraveling the enigma of Donald Trump’s persona, Leamer’s work emerges as an indispensable resource for those seeking to comprehend the essence of the man who ascended to power and prominence from the lavish surroundings of Palm Beach, Florida.
