Trump's renewed fascination with large flagpoles is harbinger of bad news for us [View all]

In 2006, Trump had an 80-foot flagpole placed in the front yard of his Mar-a-Lago club without seeking a variance and permit approval from the Town of Palm Beach.

Heads up, America:

We here in Palm Beach County need to advise you about a recent development involving Donald Trump’s alarming fascination with large poles.

As people living in the shadow of Mar-a-Lago, we have a little experience with Trump when it comes to his fixation with flagpole height, a condition that predates his presidency by a whole decade.

Paging Dr. Freud. Paging Dr. Freud.

This is why we are sounding the alarm throughout America over Trump’s recent announcement that he will be putting 100-foot flagpoles on both the north and south lawns of the White House.
