I've been to several since my late father was a career Marine. Wore my Army uniform once.

I hope they do it at that location.
The very notion that uniformed Marines were having a good time at a Trump owned property will drive the Libs Bonkers!

Trump should donate the time and venue for the event, making sure that it’s well-taken care of by the Marines. Liberal heads would explode.

I’d attend if Marine veterans were allowed in.

Miami Herald had got their panties in a wad over nothing - typical insane ranting by LIEberals!

I’d wager that the Miami area Marine Corps Ball will not be paid for with taxpayer dollars.

So how many people are we talking here? I read that a company is 80 to 150 soldiers, at what, maybe a couple hundred bucks a head? So let’s say this is a $30,000 event, out of which Trump Inc. would clear how much - 10% net profit after expenses?

Trump’s fortunes aren’t going to feel the impact of $3K.

While I have no problem with them using Trump’s venue, I have to wonder if weeks is their normal lead time for annual balls?

I am sure some of the wives are wondering who is in charge of planning this thing.

So who is paying for it? If it’s the individual Marines themselves then what’s the big deal?
