The Spin


Pro-Trump narrative

Offering up prime private property so future presidents get a secure, world-class retreat is about as selfless as it gets. The security case stands on its own. This spot is locked down tight and minutes from an airport. Turning down a gift like this would be a real waste.

Anti-Trump narrative

This amounts to a permanent revenue stream propped up by the federal government. Every summit and comped membership would funnel paying customers to a private club, which is textbook self-dealing by Trump. With gas, groceries and health care premiums climbing, the president should have better things to work on.
