First, I was told headquarters are — present tense — in the “Palm Beach
area.” That’s according to Steven Cheung, a veteran of the 2016 campaign
and the administration who departed amid a purge of suspected West Wing
leakers and is now communications director of Trump 2024. [Ho ho ho] According to
another campaign official, there are no headquarters. Not yet. The
campaign plans to rent a space in the Palm Beach area. This is the new
Trump campaign, same as the old Trump campaigns, so who knows whom to
trust? For now, campaign business is conducted by phone, over Zoom, in
the lobbies of the Marriotts and Holiday Inns in West Palm Beach, and,
only as it relates to meetings with the candidate himself, at
Mar-a-Lago. The candidate does not provide work space to his staff at
his private club. Unless they have $200,000 to spare.
