President Trump is considering turning his West Palm Beach golf club into a permanent presidential retreat, with the golf course being designated as the "United States Presidential Golf Course." An attorney for the Trump International Golf Club proposed this idea to the Palm Beach County Board of Commissioners in a letter, suggesting that future presidents could use it for important meetings. The proposal includes constructing a lodging facility on property owned by the county but would be paid for and managed by Trump’s club. Trump claims he was not initially behind the idea but supports it after military and Secret Service recommendations, emphasizing its potential value as a secure and prestigious venue for all future presidents to use.

Story summary
President Donald Trump proposed turning part of his Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach in Florida into a presidential retreat, similar to Camp David near Washington D.C., for future presidents and their guests. The plan was submitted to local officials by the club's lawyer Harvey Oyer in September 2018. According to reports, Trump claims that it wasn't his idea but rather suggested by the military and Secret Service due to the golf course’s proximity to security features and its high rating. Despite this, Trump said he would be willing to fund the construction of a lodging facility at the site, which is just minutes away from Donald J. Trump International Airport.
