Trump's Palm Beach neighbors launch bid to STOP him living permanently in Mar-a-Lago because he 'promised not to use the club as his home', has 'clogged traffic' and 'ignored local rules'

Neighbors near President Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate don't want him to relocate there after he leaves the White House next month because doing so violates a promise he made not to turn his private club into a permanent residence, it has been claimed. An attorney representing the DeMoss family (home pictured), which made its fortune selling life insurance and has since become involved in evangelical philanthropy, sent a letter to the town of Palm Beach and the US Secret Service. The letter urged the town to inform Trump that he would not be allowed to move to Mar-a-Lago full time so as to 'avoid an embarrassing situation' whereby a man who was once president would be forced out at a later date. The dispute revolves around a ‘use agreement’ that Trump signed in the early 1990s when he converted Mar-a-Lago from a private residence into a social club. Trump bought Mar-a-Lago, a 118-room mansion built in the 1920s, for $7million in 1985. In 1995, he converted the home into a private club. The decision to convert the mansion into a club came at a time when Trump was having financial problems and needed to generate revenue. The move appeared to work. In 2019, Mar-a-Lago brought in $21.4million in revenue, a slight drop from the $22.7million haul that was reported in 2018.
