Trump received approval last year to build a wall to protect his course from rising sea levels.

I was reading some articles about Trump properties and their revenues. Earlier articles were referencing how three of his overseas golf clubs increased revenues, one of them even doubling revenues from the previous year. They mention how the Trump organization said they should turn a profit but the public wouldn't know until the Organization filed British and Irish reports closer to the end of the year that also included expenses. (Bullet No 2 at the link)

So I then went to see how those reports went. Not as rosy at Trump thought they were going to be considering the increase in revenues at the three clubs.

All that said, and my interest in looking at these things, sometimes it's a simple line I read that leaves me shaking my head. Yes, the subject line of this op is included at the Fox19 link.

"Trump received approval last year to build a wall to protect his course from rising sea levels."

Ironic on multiple levels.

They simply deny and obfuscate for personal gain, knowing their base is filled with idiots.
