Naah... that was my fuckup.  That last paragraph was meant for 
Thanniford.  I'm reading with one eye closed before bedtime.  The rest 
applies to you, though.

Yes, it matters.  Mar-a-Lago is a resort, with all the amenities 
including golf course.  Trump Tower is a floor, an apartment.  No sun, 
no golf, no omelette bar, no adoring crowds in the main ballroom.

On May 30, 2024 Donald J. Trump was unanimously convicted on 34 felony 
counts in New York City... so I took this picture in my side yard.
