Mar-a-Lago, President Trump’s private club in Palm Beach, Fla., will be the site of a Red Cross charity gala and protests this Saturday. The guests who descend on President Trump’s private Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Fla., on Saturday night for the American Red Cross’s annual fundraising gala will be met with protesters opposed to Trump’s policies at home and abroad. Mar-a-Lago — Trump’s well-manicured, palm-tree-lined resort on Florida’s southeast coast — has long hosted the international relief group’s ball, with little controversy. She declined to comment on whether the Red Cross, which is not a political organization, would have selected Trump’s private club knowing he would be president. The gala, where more than 500 guest are anticipated, will mark the Red Cross’s 60th annual charity ball.
