Why Trump Fought to Control Mar-a-Lago | The Untold Story

For nearly a century, Mar-a-Lago has loomed large over Palm Beach—first as a palace of opulence, then as a flashpoint of politics. Originally built by cereal heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post, this 20th-century mega-mansion was once offered to the U.S. government as a presidential retreat… but they turned it down. Years later, Donald Trump made a stunning real estate power play that saved it from demolition and turned it into the Winter White House. This is the incredible true story of America’s most controversial estate—one of luxury, lawsuits, and legacy. #MarALago #FloridaHistory #ItsHistory Support the Channel by becoming a member 👉    / @itshistory   IT’S HISTORY - Weekly Tales of American Urban Decay as presented by your host Ryan Socash.    • IT'S HISTORY 🔥 Trending   » Subscribe:    / @itshistory   » Listen podcasts: https://ffm.bio/itshistory » CONTACT For brands, agencies, and sponsorships: [email protected] Click here to book a sponsorship with me thoughtleaders.io/reserve/its-history » DISCLAIMER Some media elements in this video are used under the fair use provisions of U.S. copyright law (Title 17, Section 107) for purposes of commentary, criticism, and education.
