Trump Proposes Converting West Palm Beach Golf Club into Permanent Presidential Retreat
President Donald Trump has proposed designating a parcel of his West Palm Beach golf club as a permanent official presidential retreat, modeled after Camp David. The plan, presented to local officials by the club’s legal counsel, aims to host international summits and provide future presidents with vacation facilities and comped memberships. While the White House highlights the site’s security and proximity to an airport, the project is framed as a long-term gift to the presidency, with construction expected to continue after Trump’s term. Palm Beach County is currently evaluating the proposal and coordinating with federal agencies to select the specific land parcel.
