So if you are appearing before a local tax commission and your goal is to reduce your tax bill then of course you are going to paint the bleakest picture possible. But the Post makes it sound like the Doral is losing money and Trump's business is on the verge of bankruptcy.

Obviously, Trump is making all his decisions to enrich himself.

Trump’s prized Doral resort is in steep decline, according to company documents
Washington Post via MSN ^ | 5/15/19 | David Fahrenthold, Jonathan O’Connell

Now there is a credible source.

Hi.

Have you heard or read in the MSM, that President Trump doesn’t take a salary?

If the Trumps run out of money, the wife and I will help out. We don’t have much, but friends help friends - we won’t let ‘em starve!

Help me if I am wrong, but didn’t the PGA cancel a very lucrative Golf Tournament at Doral a couple of years ago? If, my memory serves me, when that happened, the future of Doral was downgraded and in jeopardy. I suspect it will be part of a Real Estate Loss/Depreciation claim in future tax filings and eventually sold.

Hahahahaha! Stupid imbecile media....

“They are severely underperforming” other resorts in the area, tax consultant Jessica Vachiratevanurak told a Miami-Dade County official in a bid to lower the property’s tax bill.’

I knew that somewhere in the article, there was a real story here.

IMHO, the “Washington Post” should invest less of its “reporters’” time on “so-what?” articles, like this one that “reports” that Trump’s accountant is working to lower his property tax bill for the Doral. SO WHAT? This is NOT news.

IMHO, the “Washington Post” should invest more of its reporters’ time “investigating” real questions, like whether the foreigners who paid those huge bribes to the Clinton Foundation received all the special treatment from our State Department that they paid for.

Of course if Mayor Pete owned it, the revenue would be off the charts. He would be considered a genius turning it into a frisbee golf destination and, the crown jewel in the tiara, host of the World Cornhole Championship.

Perhaps Tiger has regained enough clout to put some pressure on the PGA re Doral.

the club expected to take in $85 million in revenue in 2017 but took in just $75 million.

The 10 million figure is probably because it lost a PGA tour event.

In two years, the resort’s net operating income — a key figure, representing the amount left over after expenses are paid — had fallen by 69 percent. Even in a vigorous economy, the property was missing the Trump Organization’s internal business targets; for instance, the club expected to take in $85 million in revenue in 2017 but took in just $75 million.

Well, so much for the emoluments clause as an impeachment article. If Trump's business profits are falling, then clearly foreign governments aren't trying to buy influence through use of Trump properties.

There are people here in Pittsburgh who leave 70-year old insulbrick on the outside of their home and never paint the trim for the same reason.

Every time I see the word “Doral” the first thing that pops into my head is “Taste me, Taste me!”

From a TV commercial for Doral cigarettes. It left me permanently scarred.

It also proves that there is only 20% of hardcore Dems who won’t use the facility anymore.
