Miami-area strip club hosting charity golf tournament at Trump course

[ehrnst]

The Trump Organization's golf resort in Doral, Florida, will host a charity golf tournament this week put on by a strip club in the Miami area that will include dancers serving as "caddy girls" for the tournament's participants, The Washington Post reported Tuesday.

The Shadow Cabaret is set to hold the "Shadow All Star Tournament" at the resort on Saturday, according to the Post. The paper said the "Trump name and family crest are displayed prominently in the strip club's advertising materials," which indicate that participation in the event ranges from $450 for a single player to $1,800 for a group of four with VIP upgrades available.

Emanuele Mancuso, the club's marketing director, told the paper the tournament "would benefit a basketball-themed charity called Miami All Stars." The charity serves nearly 40 youths in Miami, Carlos Alamilla, the charity's director, told the Post.

The Trump Organization told the Post in a statement that the event is for a "worthwhile cause," and an unnamed spokeswoman for the organization told the paper that the company "had not approved the tournament's advertisements before they were published."

9. As for the "charity" it's a dance club. This likely describes the "Trump Family Crest:"

The swastika is an ancient symbol that was in use in many different cultures for at least 5,000 years before Adolf Hitler made it the centerpiece of the Nazi flag. Its present-day use by certain extremist groups, promotes hate.

This seems like a very poor choice, to associate yourself with something tawdry, sordid, and widely looked down upon, with a reputation for criminality and grift. The strip club should really reconsider.
