No money to improve or 'prepare' the property for G7, and
No money to pay for hosting the G7 conference, and all that may include...

I'm out of words concerning him.

(115,735 posts)How can they provide security, not to mention manage the traffic, without making the whole city unliveable? Not to mention that it's very close to Miami Airport, which means it will be noisy, unless there's a TFR that shuts air traffic down altogether.

There's method to Trump's madness, and madness to his method.

(63,221 posts)to upgrade this failing, infested dump so that he can turn a profit on our dime? It makes me sick that it is even being considered. People need to start standing up to this fat fuck because he is getting too bold and there is no telling what he will do next. He needs to be put in his place. We can't expect Nancy to be the only one to stand up to him.

(67,808 posts)I stayed there quite some time before Trump came down the escalator with what we now know was his bought and paid for arm candy illegal immigrant wife. Long before he was more than just another asshole.
The "bungalows" look more like two story Motel 6 partially prefab buildings. Everywhere you went on the property it looked worn out and threadbare. The landscaping looked poorly maintained. Out the back of the "bungalow" in which we stayed was an active neighborhood road separated by a chain link fence.
Overall, it felt drab. The golf course (I am not a golfer) looked flat and I have to assume boring. There was bare dirt in the lawn near the pro shop. An ordinary golf shirt with the Trump logo and made in China was $150. I would guess Kohl's had the same thing, but lacking the logo for $20-ish.
Anyway, I failed to feel impressed with anything. Just seemed dreary.

(31,261 posts)I remember someone in my foursome telling me that Trump owned it. I really didn't know much about him at the time.
Everything about it was second rate when compared to the other resort courses that I had played on. The practice range was horrible. The course seemed minimally maintained, it had Bermuda grass that really have to have the maintenance crew stay on top of it, the course clearly didn't have that going on. There were big sand spots everywhere and the course drainage was horrible. I remember thinking, as I shook hands with my playing partners on the 18th green, what a waste of money playing there was. I didn't bother going to any 19th hole they had, my belief is it would have sucked.
I remember that one of my playing partners was a government official from Brazil or Argentina, I forget which one. He was in the area for some international event and wanted to get in a round of golf. I remember how excited he was to play the course, but as we progressed in play, he was vocal about how much the course sucked, at one point saying that if he knew, he would have played elsewhere.
