Trump West Palm Beach golf course seeks rent relief to survive coronavirus shutdown

In a symptom of the effect the coronavirus is having on the Trump family business, the president’s West Palm Beach golf club has asked to defer its monthly payment for its lease of public land.

In a letter to Palm Beach County, obtained by the Palm Beach Post, managers of the Trump International Golf Club said the mandated closure of courses coincided with its busiest time of year.

While Trump businesses are not included in economic relief provisions in the United States, they have sought bailout money in the United Kingdom and Ireland to cover the wages of bartenders, waiting staff, and others furloughed from golf properties.

Many of the family holdings are in the leisure sector — one of the worst affected by the pandemic.

socialism, he should submit tax returns and bank data for the past 10 years, so his need can be determined. If he really is too broke to pay his employees wages, then he should sign a statement that he willing accepts social welfare and it is not forced on him. (Does he have a day job? We need info on that too. How much has he grifted and stolen since starting his job.)

... Just yesterday our local public golf course owner said that traffic at his course is up 60% over last year.
Seems to be the trend nation wide too.
