Trump Rebrands Mar-A-Lago As “Southern White House,” Term Once Used For “White House Of Confederacy”

President Implies He’ll Use Resort Year-round At Taxpayers Expense 

President Donald Trump on Saturday referred to his Mar-a-Lago resort as “The Southern White House.” 

Previously, Trump has referred to Mar-a-Lago as “the winter White House.” 

Of course, both terms are an abomination since Mar-A-Lago is in fact a private club from which Trump benefits financially.

However, several Twitter users also noted that “the Southern White House” was among the terms used for the so-called White House of the Confederacy, in Richmond, Virginia. 

“Built in 1818, it was the main executive residence of the sole President of the Confederate States of America, Jefferson Davis, from August 1861 until April 1865,” according to Wikipedia. “It was viewed as the Confederate States counterpart to the White House in Washington, D.C.” 

Trump’s rebranding of Mar-a-Lago as “the Southern White House” also suggests he won’t only be using it during winter — a practice that will come at an enormous expense to taxpayers.
