A season in which the novel coronavirus pandemic shared headlines with the 45th president of the United States has come to a close on the island.
Donald Trump returned to his private Mar-a-Lago Club before lunchtime Jan. 20, finishing the final few hours of his lone presidential term far from Washington, D.C., where he had lived the previous four years with his wife, Melania, and teenage son, Barron.
His return to Palm Beach three months after he was diagnosed with COVID-19 and later hospitalized was not without controversy.
Neighbors of the former president want to block him from living at the club he bought in 1986, citing a 1993 agreement he signed with the town that allowed Trump to convert the private residence into a private club.
