Is this true?

[oldtime dfl_er]

I read somewhere that Trump is contractually obligated to show up at Mar a Lago every weekend, to do photo ops with wedding parties, meet with people who've paid to be there, etc. Since I'm feeling lazy today, I'm going to use you guys to fact check on this. If true, would this not be proof that he has not separated himself from his businesses, and isn't that a direct conflict of interest?

1. Doubtful...

But every time he goes there, hundreds of thousands of dollars fly into his coffers.

and we pay millions in secret service and protection dollars.

2. Maybe that is why he crashed that wedding last weekend.

Who knows! Contracted by whom? He owns the place, doesn't he?

3. I dunno if he owns it

But yea, he did say that wedding couple had "paid me thousands and thousands of dollars". Whether that means in standard club fees, or a special photo op fee, I have no idea.

6. Maybe he doesn't own all of it

Maybe he is beholden to investors. Of course, we would find that out if he turned over his tax returns.

5. No

He would not tie himself down that way, particularly since it's worth only a few dollars.

7. Does't answer your question

But good article here about the place and its members.
