At Trumps luxury resort in nearby Doral, vacationers paid $200 to $500 a night to enjoy golfing and fine dining while local residents scrambled to find necessities on the bare shelves of grocery stores and gas stations.

(9,527 posts)His kids are officially running the business. Obviously with his idiot kids running the business, it's a flimsy wall, but it disappears if he starts overtly ordering the business.
Also the article makes it seem like multiple of the organization's Florida properties will be open. Instead it's 1 out of 4. And the 1 that remains open was discouraging people from coming.
