There's no such thing as residents of Mar-a-Lago. It is a huge mansion that was converted into a private club. Nobody lives there (at the moment).

He did sign an agreement prohibiting him from living there (from Wikipedia):

Trump signed a "use agreement" with the Town of Palm Beach, Florida that changed Mar-a-Lago's designation from a single-family residence to a private club and specified that guests, including Trump, could not stay there more than three non-consecutive weeks per year

Thanks for that : I notice that Wiki puts "use agreement" in quotes, which suggests they're unsure what that means from the perspective of the Town of Palm Beach. What authority do Towns have in Florida? I don't expect an answer, but I'm sure if Rudi was let loose on this he'd demolish it in seconds.

The only reason Trump wants the $2,000 is so his followers can keep on donating to him.

He's just throwing feces. He wants to screw over Mitch and the rest of the Republicans because he's decided they're at fault for his loss. Since other Republican candidates won in places he lost, the only possible explanation is that the party didn't love him enough. For the Republicans, the $2000 check issue screws them either way - if they support it they're RINOs, if they don't support it they're abandoning Dear Leader.
 
Trump returning to Washngton from Margo Largo.
Apparently big pro Trump demonstrations are planned for Jan.6th. No doubt Anti Trump demonstrators will show up also,
One story has some Trump supporters want to smuggle guns into DC to set up a armed camp on the Mall.IMHO this is probably just macho posturing but who knows.
Jan 6th is going to be interesting in DC. I suspect if you are a DC cop, if you have that as your day off it will be postponed.

Here it is, he goes beyond saying he should have won, at least in the cherry picked clips. He then admits it was only a nomination, but judge for yourselves. You only need listen to the first 50 seconds:

Yes he admits he is talking about nominations when he says “they gave me a Nobel Peace Prize,” but he immediately follows that with “I don’t know, I don’t know.” WTF is that supposed to mean?

Jan. 6th is also Eric Trump's birthday. Is Donald loco enough to promise his son a hellava day for his birthday (with something devious/sinister in mind)?

Now I'm picturing Trump trying to play any modern cooperative card game or board game. Any outcome where everyone benefits is a loss in his mind, so he'd end up attacking the other players in an effort to be the only winner.

Can't see him playing a board game at all, competitive or not. I suspect it'd end with him throwing the board across the room and declaring victory. I agree he'd be particularly awful at the cooperative ones, though.
 
The only way Trump could have a single black card in Cards Against Humanity is the ones he refused to pick a winner for. (by the way, add a random card from the deck in the selection and be amazed, the deck plays to win)

I think you underestimate the power of the sycophant. Also, as for the random card bit? Getting the perfect card for the thing you just played on happens all the time in those games, after all.

Everyone I know who plays frequently has said that Rando Cardrissian wins more often than one might think.

I have often proposed the "Aw, Man!" rule, where if one replaces a card and thinks it's a better answer than what they just played, they can risk an existing point to swap it in. So far nobody else wanted to have that as a rule.

So, here are some people you should feel sorry for... Or maybe not...

From: Business Insider
President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump decided at short notice to abandon his Mar-a-Lago club before a lavish New Year's Eve party....The Huffington Post reported in 2018 that tickets to the party had cost about $1,000.... The party was organized despite surging coronavirus cases in the US.

Hard to think of what is more... questionable....
- Being a Trump supporter in the first place (so much that you would shell out money to go to a party he was hosting)
- Going to a large gathering, hosted by an idiot who has participated in multiple covid Super Spreader events (so you're risking your life to go to it)

And at the end of the day, you end up not being able to meet Trump after all.
