re: #205 ObserverArt

Earlier today someone here posted a story about how Mar-a-Lago when it was first given to the US Government, Marjorie Merriweather Post intended it to be used as a winter resort for presidents…for all purposes a “Winter White House.” That is probably both where Trump got the idea to use the term and the press to follow along.

That info is in the Wiki page too.

as I recall, the most interesting part of the reason the US government gave it back to the Post estate was the fact that maintenance and security costs for the property were too high.
