Just because the club is losing money doesn't mean Trump isn't siphoning cash. And even if he isn't the clubs could be losing even more money if not for illicit cash streams. The accounting of an organization as big as golf club has many possibilities for money laundering, all the while making it look like a tax write off. Not saying that it is, just that it is possible.
