Great scoop by the Miami Herald on Trump's faltering Doral club.

Great scoop by the @MiamiHerald on Trump's faltering Doral club. 85 years!!



Several Trump Doral golf members quit the club after the 2016 election to cut ties with Trump.

Turns out they'll be waiting ~85 years for him to refund their deposits.

One in Washougal, WA which was basically a blue collar crowd, employees of the paper mill.
There is no such thing as return of deposit there. You pay the initiation fee, and when you quit the club, you could get about 20-25% back in cash.

drug addicts, wife-swappers and other assorted freaks. Fun place to go to on a graveyard shift with a hit of acid percolating in my brain.

I was a physical wreck at age 57, with chest pains, high blood pressure, border line diabetic, hip joint pain. Gave up my high paying job, and retired. Joined the golf club and walked 4 to 5 rounds every week. 22 years later all my health problems are gone, finito, history!

Maybe he needs to give up his high paying job, and retire.
