The last paragraph was for me, despite the fact that I hadn't suggested any of
things you were disputing in the paragraph or even weighed in AT ALL on the
subject of how Trump will serve his sentence if his conviction is upheld. Good
one, Effa. True to form.

Nope. There is no golf course at Mar-a-Lago.

Here's an overhead shot of it. Point out the golf course.

The residence is actually three floors, including a rooftop garden, pool and
reception area. There's also the equivalent of a ballroom on one of the other
20 floors the Trump Organization owns below the penthouse.

So you're wrong about the sun, the omelette bar and the ballroom. You got the
golf right, but there's no golf at either property, so it's a distinction
without a difference.
