Former President Donald Trump considered 'bona fide employee' of Mar-a-Lago Club Town attorney says evidence supports argument that Trump considered employee AP Photo/Lynne Sladky Former President Donald Trump has been living at his Mar-a-Lago Club since leaving the White House, but will he be allowed to stay? and last updated 2021-05-10 14:16:27-04 WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. â Former President Donald Trump is a "bona fide" employee of his Palm Beach resort and therefore entitled to live there, the town attorney has concluded. After reviewing a 1993 declaration of use agreement between Palm Beach, Trump and his Mar-a-Lago Club, Town Attorney John C. Randolph "offered a legal opinion that the agreement doesn't specifically prohibit former President Trump from residing at Mar-a-Lago," Randolph confirmed in an email to WPTV over the weekend.
