President’s property hunt

-

DONALD Trump is the latest in his family to be looking at premium Florida property, according to an insider — even as there is buzz that he and Melania will live at his private club, Mar-a-Lago, as their main residence after he leaves office. They are at Mar-a-Lago for the holidays, and a source said: “Melania has been redecorati­ng their apartment . . . where they have separate bedrooms, sitting rooms and offices.” Reportedly 2,000 square feet, the place once belonged to Marjorie Merriweath­er Post. People magazine reported the space is being renovated, expanded and modernized. But a source told us, “Melania and Trump are talking to brokers about buying a house in Palm Beach, or nearby, as the living space at Mar-a-Lago isn’t big enough, and there could be some potential conflicts.” There have been reports that Mar-a-Lago can’t be a permanent residence, due to a deal Trump made years ago to turn it into a private club. Some locals are up in arms about Trump possibly living there, but the Palm Beach town manager told the Miami Herald, “The town is not aware of the president’s intent in this regard and has no evidence to support said claim.” The Trumps have been looking at Palm Beach-area private schools for their son, Barron, 14. Another source said, “They are . . . also looking for homes near Mar-a-Lago to purchase. The thought is they will stay at Mar-a-Lago initially.” White House reps did not get back to us.
