A Palm Beach County official reportedly contacted legal counsel to inquire about canceling the lease for Trump International Golf Club in unincorporated West Palm Beach.
Howard Falcon, the country’s chief assistant attorney, confirmed to the Palm Beach Post that a county official had contacted him about canceling the land contract for which the president pays the county $88,338 a month in rent.

They have gone full Mao
Name the damn official.
Make them call their bluff, Mr President! Cancel the lease yourself and watch them squeal like stuck pigs.
Breach of contract, probably
Full blown vendetta
How very....totalitarian...of them.
One wonders why they don’t wait until after the inauguration
Does Palm Beach have a mayor? If so, Trump should do the Clint Eastwood thing (Carmel), run for mayor and fire all these weasels.
This absolutely needs to stop right now. Somebody is going to get seriously hurt or killed if this witch hunt does not end. Republicans in Congress and in the various state legislatures need to bring this to a halt. Donald Trump and every member of his family should sue the crap out of these morons.
Bolsheviks going scorched earth...what’s next, take his pants?
They have gone full MaoWrong Commie.
You don't sign a "land contract" for this sort of thing.
It's called a ground lease, and if the county ever terminated it against the will of the other party it would cost them a staggering sum of money.
To illustrate how ridiculous this is ...
Can you imagine being the bank or commercial lender that extended a loan to build on a property that was subject to a 50-year (for example) ground lease, only to find that the owner of the land terminated the lease five or ten years into the deal? You'd never be able to borrow money to build anything on leased land if it were so easy to terminate the lease.
Cancel the lease and Palm Beach gets a fully developed golf course to do with what they want. Trump gets nothing.

(CNN)Justice Department prosecutors have formally walked back their assertion in a court filing that said Capitol rioters sought to "capture and assassinate elected officials."
A federal prosecutor in Arizona asked a magistrate judge in a hearing on Friday to strike the line in a recent court filing about defendant Jacob Anthony Chansley, a man who is alleged to have led some in the crowd in the first wave into the Capitol with a bullhorn while carrying a spear and wearing a fur headdress.
The entire line the prosecutors want to omit from their court filing is: "Strong evidence, including Chansley's own words and actions at the Capitol, supports that the intent of the Capitol rioters was to capture and assassinate elected officials in the United States Government."
The stunning move comes a few hours after Michael Sherwin, the acting US attorney in Washington, DC, said at a press conference there was "no direct evidence of kill and capture teams" at this time in the siege of the Capitol building.

So Teed off, maybe they should abolish the letter T.
I’m here in Palm Beach County for the Winter. I don’t suspect that this will be particularly popular.

Another "you have to lose to win" strategy? That's not President Trump's style.
He should confront the council and demand to know who did it, and then threaten breach of contract and punitive damages. Threaten to drag the county to court and make them pay for it.

Also both of Trump’s online stores are still down
Why doesn’t Trump move to Texas
