The bad news keeps piling up for Donald J. Trump.
The outgoing one-term president, who has spent over 300 days golfing during his four year stint in Washington, D.C., might be losing his prized golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Chief assistant county attorney Howard Falcon tells The Palm Beach Post that at least one county commissioner is working to terminate the county’s lease with the Trump International Golf Club after the Capitol Riots last week.
“My initial reaction is it would be a stretch,” Falcon says, noting that the iron-clad lease doesn’t have a “bad boy” clause, which allows a landlord to severe ties with a tenant over bad behavior, like, say, inciting an insurrection on the U.S. Capitol.
How about we take this to the next level?

The Trump Organization pays $88,338 per month to rent the property. A lawyer for the golf course says there’s “no basis for canceling the lease.” But the county commissioner still appears hellbent on trying.
The Palm Beach Post reports:
Trump International Golf Club is Trump’s go-to spot when he stays at Mar-a-Lago, his Palm Beach estate. He also hosts his annual Super Bowl parties at the course and has golfed at the club with foreign dignitaries, members of Congress and administration officials. He also played the course with conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh and golf legends Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods, and celebrities such as Kid Rock.
This is just the latest one of Trump’s business relationships to sour. He’s also been banned by all the major tech companies, dropped by Deutsche Bank, and lost his contract with the PGA, which just announced it will no longer hold its namesake championship at any of his golf courses.

I would think a lawyer could argue that losing the PGA tourneys at any Trump associated course has diminished or tarnished the reputation of and therefore the value of the property and that the property owner has the right to reclaim the property before any further harm is done. This claim would have nothing to do with anyone’s opinion of Trump and his actions.

Let’s hope you’re right.

Also Trump instigating an insurrection at the Capitol building and locking kids in cages could, you know diminish the reputation of the property.
Trump’s behavior has already lost him hotels in places like SoHo and those leases were all legally boken.

For those of you who don’t know…it was reported on CNN…the FBI had knowledge that there was going to be trouble days BEFORE Trump’s speech that supposedly led to “insurrection”. Nobody in their right minds believe that the people that stormed the Capitol were trying to overthrow the government. A far leftist was arrested the other day for taking part in the mayhem. He first tried to claim that he was there to cover it as a journalist until his Facebook posts clear;y proved otherwise. Bottom line is you can dislike Trump as much as you want but he did not ask for his supporters to do anything violent and certainly did not tell the supporters to go storm the Capitol. He was still speaking when the “insurrection” started. If you are going to posts opinions then you should do the research to make sure what you post is factually accurate and not talking points that you heard on tv by someone who has a vested interest in fostering division in the country. Many have become useful idiots by the media to achieve political goals. Now the useful idiots can call me a troll etc.

Girl I hate to break it to you but you are a TROLL. Trump has promoted violence from day one of his candidacy and he incited that riot. SO if they werent there to overthrow the election thus using logic (something you sorely lack) the government. Chanting to hang Mike Pence and carrying plastic handcuffs and setting up a gallows makes anyone with a mind think that they were there to do more than simply protest. Trump and all his deplorables , you included, KNOW for a FACT that the election was NOT RIGGED. The man who TRUMP appointed to oversee the election stated it was the most secure election in our history. Pushing the “BIG LIE” directly led to this violence and all your bullshit now does not change that. Yes, the FBI also said 20 years ago that white nationalism was the biggest threat to this country. Yes, there was a lot of online chatter a out potential violence at this rally but did our so called president stand up there and defuse the situation as he himself had been briefed on the potential violence? NO because he welcomed it as did his son, rudy and Mo Brooks who all told the crowd to be brave and not back down. If that wasnt an incentive to commit violence then I dont know what is. If Obama had said anything like this you and your PHONY lying gop terrorists would have demanded he hang. NO ONE BELIEVES YOUR LIES TROLL AS WE ARE NOT THE INBRED DEPLORABLES WHO BELIEVE ANY LIE IF IT IS TOLD TO US MORE THAN ONCE. TROLL TROLL TROLL. There in case you didnt get it

Was Trump ever bothered with things that are “factually accurate”? I don’t think so either, he deserves everything that’s coming for him.. Bye now…

Weird, we exposed this screename as the newest screename by Roy Ajax, and yet you’re still here trying to defend Trump with it?
Maybe it takes you a few days to put together a new one, because other than that I can’t figure out why you would still be bothering to troll under this one that’s already been exposed.

@Cam. “We” as in you and your other screennames?

@Openminded
Interesting, the account that claims it isn’t a troll account and it’s not a right wing troll, jumps in to defend another right wing troll.
Hi other screename of @Roy Ajax, thanks for making all of your screenames so obvious.

They just won’t renew it. They break it he will use.
Cam
No he won’t. Trump likes to threaten to sue, but he won’t sue here. All they have to do is demand to see his financial records and taxes as part of discovery.

Dumbo Tramp is on a highway to hell. And he has nobody to blame for that but himself.
He might not lose the gold course lease immediately, but if enough patrons shift their playing elsewhere he won’t be paying the rent, so they’ll be able to terminate it then.
