Golfers who ended their memberships at Trump National Doral after President Trump's election have yet to get their deposits back, the Miami Herald reported Thursday.

Two former members told the outlet that they were no longer willing to write Trump checks after his election. Another quit in December after the Miami club became too political.

All three of those former members are now on a waiting list to get their deposits back — ranging from $10,500 to $19,000 — with 265 other people.

In order to move up the list by one spot, four new golf members need to join Doral, according to the membership terms.

1. He probably grifts that much over a long weekend

With all the government employees that travel with him and I presume stay at his resorts.


Peace

[Cousin Dupree]

2. Suckers! You will never get your money back. Everyone associated with that ass suffers in

some way.

[Scarsdale]

3. Don't expect any sympathy from me.

Just shows me that money can not buy sense. If they can afford that much for membership, I wonder how much THEIR tax breaks were? I do not see that club gaining any new members, they say it is losing money FAST. tRump wants world leaders to hold their meeting there, so he can make $$$ off their attendance. Emoluments Clause be damned he does whatever he wants and gets away with it.

23. I'm sure those members all took pictures with him! Ha ha

Before the election, donald dump with his gleaming white implants.

4. That's about $4 million of stolen money.

Peanuts compared to what he has stolen in his lifetime. And still has trouble making ends meet.

[FiveGoodMen]

5. ANYONE who counted on Trump for ANYTHING is still waiting

Not just now, but throughout his life.

No one has any excuse for not seeing this coming.

[Merlot]

6. oh, dear! Some rich golfers think they're going to get their deposits back

from trumpft of all people - the guy who doesn't even pay workers and skips out on bills from cities that he's held rallies in.

But, these guys are different, they're rich golfers - trumpft would NEVER screw them, would he?

hehe

7. Good luck!

(Sarcasm thingie goes here)

[sakabatou]

8. Don't hold your breath

[TeamPooka]

9. Money only goes one-way with Trump.

[trueblue2007]

10. those people need to SUE TRUMP !!!!

[MontanaMama]

11. Hate to break it to these folks

but the MF done spent that money already. No refunds are coming. Not to mention that the MF was an asshole before the was president and they were all fine giving him their money then....So long suckers!!

[LiberalFighter]

12. Four new golf members need to join? Really? That should be an indicator

of a grift type of operation.

[oldsoftie]

14. Sounds more like AMway doesnt it

[oldsoftie]

13. What does the contract say? Deposits arent always 'returnable"

When i rent a unit, tenants sign a contract that says the property is no longer marketed & if THEY change their mind, they do not get their deposit back.
If they have a similar clause, they're out.
If not, SUE THE HELL OUT OF TRUMP INT

[bucolic_frolic]

15. That's a Ponzi scheme - new members funding ex-members

If I were them I'd get a class action lawyer

[onethatcares]

16. whhaaaatttt?

they'll wait til hell freezes over three times before they ever see a dime and IMO, fugg um, they deserve a seat in the waiting room.

[Blue Owl]

17. You been GRIFTED

n/t

[NCjack]

18. If you are a Quitter, you get no refund. Suckers! nt

[Mc Mike]

19. The checks are in the mail.

Serial deadbeat, cashed a 13 cent check from Spy magazine.

[MuseRider]

20. I gotta join in,

nothing really new to say but I had to deal with some people like this when my kids were playing tennis. NOW I can say this.

Some of us have paid memberships to our local public courses, some of us have paid by the game or hour or whatever. Some of us were even flush enough to join our local Country Club (not my thing at all) but never anything like you belonged to. You all march around and present yourselves as better than anyone else and we either suck it up and smile and move away or we just walk away leaving you to believe your money has made you better than we are but LOOK WHO GOT SCREWED OUT OF A HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY by the biggest grifter on the planet. Hell, all us poor dopes would have known better than to sign something like that in any account but from TRUMP? HAHAHA! I will be laughing about this for a good long time. 4 people have to join and there are almost 300 of you waiting. Good lord your money did not buy you any sense did it? HAHAHAHAHA!

Sorry, I had to get that out.

[Arazi]

21. Tbh, the kind of folks that would join that shithole aren't hurting over "losing" $10k - $20k

I admire their principles tho, quitting #Traitor's club but they're never going to get their $$ back.

Vindictive asshole holds grudges

[Skittles]

22. fuck them, and their money

[Rebl2]

24. Good luck with that!

Face it, you’re never going to see that money.

[Omaha Steve]
