It has come to light that a former Mar-a-Lago employee recently recollected her “fond memories” while describing her experience working for President Donald Trump and his family via Newsweek.
Ashleigh Sasson has described the Trump family as “lovely people.” It has been noted that while working at Mar-a-Lago from 2016 to 2018, Sasson stated that she observed another side of Trump and his relatives that is rarely depicted in the negative media coverage of the family.
Sasson stated that she has “fond memories” of her time as a server and bartender at Trump’s Palm Beach, Florida estate. She parted ways with a local burger joint to work for Trump, she explains in the article. Sasson then defined Trump as “very professional, always smiling, kind, and generous.”
She didn’t see much of the 45th president but Sasson was able to observe his children and their families frequently. She stated that she formed a favorable impression of the whole family. Sasson served meals for the Trump family at the main dining area and at the more casual beach club.
President Trump was the only one to tip, she said, but the family members were always courteous to the staff.
“Though the Trump family never saw a check, they were very gracious with their gratitude in the form of verbal appreciation and respect,” she said.
The job often left Sasson starstruck. She recalled coming into contact with celebrities like Sylvester Stallone and Rod Stewart. The workers were held to high standards and rewarded accordingly.
“The largest tip I ever received was $800, and the largest tip I ever saw was $1200 to another server on Easter Sunday,” she wrote.
Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and Don Jr.’s kids would frequent the Beach Club for burgers and fries, she wrote.
“I loved it there,” she wrote.
“It had that similar beer and burger vibe I was used to at Duffy’s, and it was oceanside.
“I would take pictures of the beautiful scenery.
“I get goosebumps just thinking about it now.”
Trump’s private life has been on trial in his criminal prosecution for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s “hush money” case. The trial has delved into the salacious details of claims made by porn star Stormy Daniels against Trump.
She recalls an incident with Don Jr. where they saw a paraglider take a really bad dip into the water, lose his board, and wash up.
“We all watched as Don Jr. swam out to get the guy’s board and return it to him. He didn’t have to do that.”
