Trump's company cancels strip-club-sponsored golf tournament at his Florida resort

Source: Washington Post

President Trump’s company has canceled a golf tournament that a Miami-area strip club planned to hold at his Doral, Fla., resort this weekend.

In a statement, the president’s company said it canceled Shadow Cabaret’s tournament after the nonprofit named as the beneficiary of the event — Miami Allstars Foundation — dropped out earlier Wednesday.

“The event was originally booked with the understanding that it would be raising money to support a local charity benefiting underprivileged children,” a Trump Organization spokeswoman said in the statement. “Now that the charity has removed its affiliation, the event will no longer be taking place at our property and all amounts paid will be refunded.”

you can buy for $1,800. She is after all a nude model. It's what her citizenship was for. He'll go ahead and do it anyway. He'll do an executive order making everyone participate despite cancellations. There is NO Bad Idea Trump ever gives up on.

Sure, he's lied about doing so, but he had never donated one cent to any charity, least of all one for underprivileged children.
