Mikey Smith, the Mirror’s Deputy Political Editor (Sunday) stationed in Westminster, delves into the world of influential figures and their preferred hangouts. From John Gotti’s Ravenite Social Club to Al Capone’s Green Mill Cocktail lounge, and the Krays’ Carpenters Arms in London, these locations have hosted notorious figures. Former President Donald Trump, known for his gatherings at the Terrace of Mar A Lago in South Beach, Florida, has shifted his social hub to the White House in his second term.
Trump recently announced plans to host the G20 summit at his Doral golf club in Miami, claiming widespread support due to its proximity to the airport. The transformation of the White House’s Rose Garden into a social spot reminiscent of Mar A Lago was evident during a recent gathering of Republican associates. Trump dubbed the area “The Rose Garden Club” and expressed intentions to invite prominent tech executives for future events.
In other developments, Trump’s administration is exploring the possibility of taking control of the 9/11 memorial and museum in New York City. Meanwhile, Tina Peters, a former election official convicted of tampering with voting machines, remains a subject of controversy as Trump advocates for her release despite legal proceedings.
