Donald Trump's butler has seen it all.
From the times that Ivanka Trump, the owner's daughter, ordered the gardeners off the grounds so she could swim in the pool naked, to the day the historic library was turned into a bar.
From the happy day Trump married Melania Knauss at the Florida estate, with Hillary Clinton watching, to the sad moment when he was ordered to move out of his apartment in the 118-room Mar-a-Lago property by Marla Maples, then Trump's wife.
Anthony Senecal, 74, has worked at the estate for almost 60 years — almost half of the time for Trump.
"You can always tell when the king is here," Senecal said, pointing out the rows of Secret Service cars parked outside.
The house was built by Marjorie Merriweather Post, a cereal heiress, in the 1920s. When she died in 1973, she left the house to the US government with the idea that it would become a presidential retreat.
But the upkeep proved too expensive, and ownership was transferred back to Post's daughters, who sold it to Trump for less than $10 million (£7.07 million) in 1985. He turned it into a private club a decade later.
Senecal has told The New York Times about his longtime boss who, on being told in 2009 that Senecal wanted to retire, told him: "Tony, to retire is to expire. I'll see you next season."

He does his own hair
Mr Trump’s hair has, for decades, been a source of fascination to the American public.
And Mr Senecal revealed that, despite the estate having a salon, the billionaire preferred to style his own hair.
He only needs four hours of sleep a night
Like Margaret Thatcher, General David Petraeus, Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer and Pepsi's Indra Nooyi, Mr Trump sleeps only for four hours a night, his butler said.
Then he rises before dawn to read the newspapers before playing golf.
The White House has had a light-sleeping incumbent before. George W Bush was famously in bed by 10pm, but Bill Clinton frequently survived on four or five hours sleep.
He likes his steak rock hard
Mr Trump famously owned a steak company, which went out of business. He still sells “Trump steaks” at his venues — but they are now sourced from a variety of other producers, rather than Mr Trump’s own supplier.
But the New Yorker’s decision to go into the steak business may have been a surprise to those who know him, given that his butler confirmed The Telegraph’s observation that he likes his steaks well done.
“It would rock on the plate, it was so well done,” said Mr Senecal.
