WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump has funneled hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars to his own resorts since taking office, and now appears poised to direct other countries’ taxpayers’ yen, euros and pounds into his own pocket, too.
In his most recent financial disclosure form filed this May, Trump claimed receiving $81,417,193 in “income” from the Doral resort over the previous year. It’s unclear how accurate that is, given Trump’s tendency to file widely varying figures to different government authorities.
He told the U.S. Office of Government Ethics in his 2018 financial disclosure, for example, that his Scotland golf courses are worth more than $50 million each, even as he told United Kingdom authorities that they had a combined net debt of $65 million.
In any case, money spent at Trump hotels and golf courses flows directly to Trump personally, as he is the sole beneficiary of a trust that now owns his family business. Because Trump insists on playing golf at his own properties, American taxpayers have been the source for at least many hundreds of thousands of dollars that have gone to the Trump Organization in the form of room, meal and other expenses for Secret Service agents and other government employees who have stayed on-site with Trump in Florida, New Jersey, Scotland and Ireland.
In a bit of good news for the president, court records show his attorneys in Miami have reached a tentative settlement with a business traveler who sued the [Trump National Doral Miami] resort after his back, face and arms were devoured by voracious bed bugs at the revamped resort.
In a terse one-page report just slipped into the court file, court-appointed mediator Frank Allocca filed a notice that reads “an agreement was reached.” There were no details on what will likely be a confidential deal.
New Jersey insurance executive Eric Linder, who woke up from a night’s sleep at the resort in March 2016 with dozens of bites, didn’t return calls for comment. Neither did his lawyer nor Trump’s local lawyer.

Even some of Trump’s biggest supporters called him out over the obvious conflict of interest, including Rick Santorum, the former Republican senator from Pennsylvania. The two-time GOP presidential candidate said on Monday that Trump shouldn’t use his own property to host next year’s summit, calling it a “violation of the law.”
The AP’s John Berman asked Santorum, who was once in the running to be Trump’s chief of staff, what he’d say if he was in the White House and anyone, even the president, brought up the idea of hosting the event at Doral.
“Hell, no!” Santorum said
“The ballrooms are among the biggest in Florida, and the best. It’s brand new,” he said at the news conference.
“It’s a great place. It’s got tremendous acreage. Many hundreds of acres,” he told reporters during an earlier meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. “And it’s Miami. Doral. Miami. So it’s a great area.”
While the city of Doral is in Miami-Dade County, it is removed from the attractions most people have in mind when they think of Miami. The golf resort boasts plenty of ornate chandeliers and baroque fountains — but lies directly beneath the flight path of Miami International Airport’s takeoffs and landings, and is miles from the closest beach.
During the Republican National Committee’s meeting there last spring, the troubled property appeared to be skimping on maintenance costs. At least one of the guest buildings reeked of mildew, as did its guest rooms. The restaurant on the lower floor in the main lodge had a mustiness tinged with the fraternity house odor of spilled alcohol. Its lap pool’s water was both over-chlorinated and kept at too low a level, making it unpleasant to use for its intended purpose.
I think most people that inherit $400,000,000.00 are way more successful than Donald Trump. You confuse inheriting money with accomplishment. He's lost more money than anybody in the world from the 80's to 90's. He filed multiple bankruptcies, has three failed marriages (maybe his arrangement with Molonia isn't a "marriage"), fvcked up kids that the country hates... pretty shameful if you're not a bornfollower.
In fact, with his drive and inheritance.... wtf is his problem? Guy could've been another Roosevelt but he's pretty much recognized as the face of presidential failure with his nonstop gaffes and failures.
What's funny is how he isn't getting so much as a cakewalk at Doral. Everyone is laughing at the very idea. He's so damned dumb he's gonna create yet another opportunity to humiliate himself by THAT being rejected, too.
How far into his 2nd term will you have to be checked into a mental facility (that thank God Trump is trying to advocate for more of).
I don’t believe you. Got a link? Remember Fred trump died when DJT was 53 and from what I read he wasn’t worth 400 million.
There are multiple examples of trumps successes. Which makes him just like everyone else. Success and failure.
You do realize your personality is exactly like trumps right? You lie, you leave out, you stick to things you should know have been debunked and you do it as grandly as possible.
And you do it all, while shamelessly assailing the president. You need a lobotomy because what I’m saying to you will not even register.
Bush causing the recession
Russian collusion
Where’s that link for trump getting his start from his dad’s 400 million in 1999?
Yeah, Faggard Smith is a reliable source (rolling eyes).
So this flaming lib walks into Trump Doral....“Magnificent bungalows..50 to 70 rooms each.”—trump Doral
Bwaaahahahahahahahaha!“Magnificent bungalows..50 to 70 rooms each.”—trump Doral
