Discover Dr. Joseph Della-Giustina's exploration of Palm Beach's transformation, detailing Trump's impact, local scandals, and social shifts. Dr. Della-Giustina has shared his journey in "Changing Tides: Dr. Joseph Della-Giustina on Palm Beach's Evolution and Trump's Legacy," coming to Palm Beach in the early 1980s as an Italian-American amidst a mainly WASP community. His perseverance led him to be a town commissioner who tried to make sense of local governance. The story continues with Donald Trump's arrival in Palm Beach around 1984, which shows his influence in the town, including admitting a very broad cross-section of members to Mar-a-Lago. Of course, Dr. Della-Giustina also does not miss talking about highly publicized local happenings, such as courtroom battles over noise pollution to tragic stories that inform how the history of the town evolved.
