The unofficial Mar-a-Lago visitors log
The unofficial Mar-a-Lago visitors log
Governors, senators, and other politicians who’ve helped Trump profit post-presidency
While Donald J. Trump is no longer the U.S. president, he remains the preeminent GOP power broker—and a possible candidate in 2024. And he also remains a businessman, profiting off politicians in need of his endorsement.
Several of these elected officials and candidates who’ve made their way to Mar-a-Lago have campaigns or committees that have directly paid the former president’s business. And all of these dignitaries have served as amenities for the club’s members and guests, who in the past have capitalized on their proximity to power for anything from selfies destined for lots of likes to influencing the government and promoting their own interests.
This unofficial visitors log will be updated.
