'The Grifter's Club'
Its 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 its 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 Grifters 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.
