It this the trump clan or the Palin clan? Bigly trashy on both accounts.

Indeed, the neighborhood not only now has to abide garbage, there’s also the trash.

So in addition to the Secrete Service, the Trumps have their own private mercenary army???

I’ve witnessed that over and over through the years. It often does equate to the worst of self absorbed and to the dismissive superiority to the lesser educated. Compassion, charity, and humility are often jettisoned along the way to that higher educations and lifestyle.

The house in the Kalorama neighborhood was bought in December by a company with ties to a Chilean billionaire.

So why would a Chilean billionaire go all the way to Washington DC to invest in rental property?

I was told a horse farm near me is owned by a millionaire from somewhere in South America as a place to bug out to if the government at home gets shaky or oppressive. I guess we’re getting to understand how that might feel.

That would not surprise me at all.

The Trumps are the Palins with more money.

The entire family has spent years trying to buy acceptance. They now hold the biggest prize of all and find out that even that is not enough. Still viewed as bridge-and-tunnel people from Queens.

I must admit, as much as I don’t like this family, I am not sure this is a story. I read the entire article over at WaPo, this neighbor just had enough $ and clout herself to make a difference with a few emails.
Every few years someone complains about the secret service obstructing their neighborhood.

Now that’s insulting to the real bridge and tunnel people from Queens. These are fake money grifters.

I’m tired of the fake lifestyle and gold-plated lifestyle stories about this family. This story actually made them seem more relatable - the annoying neighbours we all have.

True. Marjorie Merriweather Post was able to build and maintain Mar-A-Lago as a private residence used for 3 months a year without turning it into a hotel. Amazing what having ready cash can accomplish.
