5. Southern Outhouse.

That's what it ought to be called and treated as such
Pay off the security guards to allow public to treat Trumps private place as public trash

8. A lot of the presidents did that.

Reagan had the "Western White House" in California and Kennedy had the "Winter White House" which was in Palm Beach. This is kind of a nothing really.

13. "Southern White House" is a new one. nt

9. IIRC, it was called that by the woman who had it built.

Marjorie Merriwether Post? I think she donated it to the government at some point, and then it was eventually sold, and later (again, IIRC) sold again to Trump.

But it is just a private estate now, as DesertRat points out.

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Trump purchased it while a private citizen because the name fit with his delusions of grandeur.

11. what about the monument commemorating the horrors of the Bowling Green Massacre?

surely that must be open to the public?

RIGHT?

12. Interesting key word change there

Before it was the "winter white house".

Post, who died in 1973, willed the 17-acre (6.9 ha) estate to the United States government as a Winter White House for presidents and visiting foreign dignitaries.[17] Richard Nixon preferred the Florida White House in Key Biscayne, however, and Jimmy Carter was not interested. The federal government soon realized the immense cost of maintenance, and the difficulty maintaining security for diplomats,[18] and returned it to the Post Foundation in 1981. It was then listed for sale for $20 million. Dina Merrill and Post's two other daughters did not maintain the property in the meanwhile, expecting to sell it.[19] But there was so little interest, the city approved its demolition to build smaller homes.[20]
