ELECTION/FLORIDA/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/TRUMP PEOPLE: “The nerve center of President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign is a suburban office building in Arlington, Virginia, a few minutes’ drive from the White House. But its beating heart is located roughly 1,000 miles away, in sun-splashed South Florida. Campaign manager Brad Parscale is a new resident of Fort Lauderdale, where the campaign’s chief pollster, Tony Fabrizio, and on-again, off-again Trump adviser Roger Stone also reside. Two of Trump’s lawyers representing him amid his impeachment saga, Jane and Martin Raskin, hail from the tony Miami suburb of Coral Gables. Trump’s winter home and resort, Mar-a-Lago, is located in the exclusive enclave of Palm Beach. That’s not far from the Boca Raton offices of the National Enquirer — which went so far as to spearhead a ‘catch and kill’ propaganda scheme in 2016 to hush women who allegedly had affairs with Trump — and the influential conservative publication Newsmax, whose CEO, Christopher Ruddy, has known Trump for years as a Mar-a-Lago member.”
