Trump wants to rebrand his West Palm Beach golf club into MAGA ‘Camp David’

President Donald Trump wants to turn his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida, into an official government golf course for U.S. presidents, operated by his family’s company.

Harvey Oyer, a real estate lawyer there, said in a letter to the Palm Beach County commissioners that Trump is offering to “designate” his Trump International Golf Club as a “U.S. Presidential Golf Course.” The course would be “utilized by all past, current, and future United States Presidents and visiting foreign heads of state,” according to a copy of the letter, sent last month and obtained by the Palm Beach Post.

“Just as Camp David, Windsor Castle, or the Elysée Palace are known worldwide, so too will the Presidential Golf Course in Palm Beach County,” Oyer wrote.

The course, opened in 1999, was Trump’s first. It’s about 5 miles west of Mar-a-Lago, the resort and estate Trump purchased in 1985, and just south of the airport previously known as the Palm Beach International Airport, which Florida Governor Ron DeSantis renamed the President Donald J. Trump International Airport on July 9. The plan to make the course presidential represents the latest effort to expand Trump’s presence and cement his legacy in Palm Beach County. As Trump and his allies work to put his name up across the city in Washington, D.C., similar efforts are occurring in Florida.

Under the proposal, Trump’s family company would provide all access to the golf course and facilities at no cost to the federal government, but the company would continue to operate it.
