PALM BEACH, Fla. — The center of gravity for the MAGA universe is moving zip codes with President Donald Trump.

In anticipation of Trump setting up permanent residence at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach after leaving the White House in January, Trump allies, conservative media firebrands and MAGA-boosting activist groups are setting up the next Trumpy hub of GOP power.

Some Trump supporters have settled in South Florida, drawn by Florida’s friendly tax climate and the state’s current GOP leadership. Other prominent MAGA groups, like the student organizing outfit Turning Point USA, are holding events in the area. And the next Conservative Political Action Conference, the annual gathering of the GOP’s most conservative factions, will even be held a couple hours drive north, in Orlando.

Meanwhile, the president and First Lady Melania Trump are renovating their private quarters at Mar-a-Lago to prepare for a permanent return. And, with an eye toward their political future, Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump have reportedly bought a multi-million dollar property in an exclusive part of Miami. The Trump kids plan to spend more time in Palm Beach, unless Eric’s wife Lara Trump ends up running for Senate in North Carolina, according to a person close to the family.

1. We all need to make the entire state as inhospitable to Trump as possible.

2. Gitmo is more suitable

3. I don't know who Mathew Swift is

and his statement about Trump being very popular in Palm Beach.
We lived a few miles away when Rump first bought the Palm Beach property, and he was NOT welcomed at all by the locals. He started his club because he couldn’t get membership in the old guard club. They saw him as a pushy classless jerk, and I doubt opinions have changed.

5. I live just over the bridge in West Palm and I can tell you they hate him more now than they did

when he was just eyeing the property. He won't last there...

7. I live in PBC and have friends in WPB and PB

They loathe him, even more now than four years ago.

4. He and his brood were always outsiders in New York high society

The Brahmins of Palm Beach are yanking the welcome mat before they even get settled in to their new digs.

6. Now Florida has a Trump & MAGA problem?
