Trump Org begging with Palm Beach County for help with their $88,338 golf course rent...

[HipChick]

President Donald Trump’s family company appears to be attempting to negotiate a rent decrease on the rent paid to a local government in Florida, The Palm Beach Post reported Saturday.

“Like other Palm Beach County businesses, the president’s golf club has been forced to close as the pandemic plays out. But there is that one major difference: The club is owned by the President of the United States, the commander-in-chief who made the call of when the country shut down and who will make the call on when America opens up for business again,” the newspaper reported.

The paper obtained access to an email sent by Ed Raymundo, finance director at Mar-a-Lago and Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach on March 25th, inquiring about the company’s $88,338 monthly rent.

“This mandate has resulted in the cancellation of events and forced the Club to close many of it’s (cq) amenities leaving limited services available to our members,” Raymundo wrote. “In addition, with many New York based members, the Governor’s most recent order requiring individuals traveling from the tri-state area to self-quarantine further hampers our operation. Your direction in this is greatly appreciated.”

the golf course is in West Palm and he leases it. Seems a lot of things he 'owns' he doesn't really own.

15. Trump claims to be worth $10 billion.
