Summary

Trump’s transition team is reportedly mired in infighting at Mar-a-Lago, with factions clashing over control and strategy for his return to the White House.

The Washington Post detailed heated disputes, including shouting matches, name-calling, and physical altercations.

Three key factions have emerged: one led by Donald Trump Jr. and JD Vance, another by Trump ally Susie Wiles, and a third by Linda McMahon.

High-profile confrontations involve figures like Boris Epshteyn, Elon Musk, and Vance, highlighting tensions over Cabinet picks and leaks, further fracturing the team.

    Following the Watergate scandal, ‘-gate’ became the suffix to label subsequent scandals.

    I propose stories associated with Trump, and other stupid scandals, be encrusted with the suffix ‘-a-Lago’.

      What if the scandal involves Mar-a-Lago though? Do we call that Mar-a-Lago-a-Lago?

        Why not, compound stupidity justifies a compound stupid label.

        Alternatively, how about Mar-a-La-La-Lago?

        There’s going to be enough content to warrant a dedicated community.

        Is c/-a-Lago a valid community name? Maybe c/Duh-a-Lago?

        Edit: the real puns require time to brew.

        c/MAG-a-Lago
