Description: The Grifter's Club by Sarah Blaskey, Nicholas Nehamas, Caitlin Ostroff, Jay Weaver The authors, journalists with the Miami Herald, present a look at some of the people that have visited and events that have occurred at the Palm Beach club Mar-a-Lago, during President Donald Trumps time in office. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description An astonishing look inside the gilded gates of Mar-a-Lago, the palatial resort where President Trump conducts government business with little regard for ethics, security, or even the law. Donald Trumps opulent Palm Beach club Mar-a-Lago has thrummed with scandal since the earliest days of his presidency. Long known for its famous and wealthy clientele, the resorts guest list soon started filling with political operatives and power-seekers. Meanwhile, as Trump re-branded Mar-a-Lago "the Winter White House" and began spending weekends there, state business spilled out into full view of the clubs members, and vast sums of taxpayer money and political donations began flowing into its coffers, and into the pockets of the president. The Grifters Club is a breakthrough account of the impropriety, intrigue, and absurdity that has been on display in the place where the president is at his most relaxed. In these pages, a team of prizewinning Miami Herald journalists reveal the activities and motivations of the strange array of charlatans and tycoons who populate its halls. Some peddle influence, some seek inside information, and some just want to soak up the feeling of unfettered access to the worlds most powerful leaders. With the drama of an expose and the edgy humor of a Carl Hiaasen novel, The Grifters Club takes you behind the velvet ropes of this exclusive club and into its bizarre world of extravagance and scandal.

Review "The Grifters Club is an illuminating, funny, and often outrageous peek behind the walls of Mar-a-Lago in the time of Trump. The stuffy elite of Palm Beach will merely be mortified, but hard-working taxpayers will be incensed."--Carl Hiaasen Review Quote " The Grifters Club is an illuminating, funny, and often outrageous peek behind the walls of Mar-a-Lago in the time of Trump.
