New York (CNN Business) Many once-loyal members of Mar-a-Lago are leaving because they no longer want to have any connection to former President Donald Trump, according to the author of the definitive book about the resort. Leamer said he spoke to a number of former members who "silently walked out" after Trump left office. There isn't any entertainment on the property during the pandemic, and Leamer added, "It's Trump moved to the Palm Beach, Florida, estate after his term ended last week. Disgruntled members might lead to a smaller paycheck for Trump. When Trump was president, many people paid up to $200,000 for Mar-a-Lago memberships, Leamer pointed out, and he said they don't think they'll continue paying that price.
