Mikey Smith, the Mirror’s Deputy Political Editor (Sunday) stationed in Westminster, explores the concept of a prominent figure’s chosen socializing spot. Just as infamous gangsters had their iconic hangouts, Donald Trump also had his cherished gathering place at the Mar A Lago club in South Beach, Florida. Transitioning into his second term, Trump has shifted his social scene to the White House, unveiling his new hangout recently.
In a bid to maintain his influence, Trump has made controversial decisions, such as announcing the hosting of the G20 summit at his Doral golf club in Miami next year. Amidst ongoing transformations, Trump’s White House gatherings echo the ambiance of his Mar A Lago events, with familiar menus and a similar vibe.
Moreover, Trump has been vocal about his plans to rebrand the Department of Defence as the Department of War, emphasizing a shift towards a more aggressive approach. Additionally, he is considering taking control of the 9/11 memorial and museum in New York City, a move met with skepticism and resistance from current overseers.
In an intriguing turn of events, Trump has shown support for Tina Peters, a former election official convicted of tampering with voting machines, sparking debates and controversy. As Trump’s actions continue to captivate attention, the Mirror has launched a dedicated US Politics WhatsApp community to keep readers informed and engaged with the latest updates from the political landscape.
