[Conscience of a Conservative]

"One NASCAR banquet in a magnificent ballroom at Trump National Doral in Miami for which I will keep their very substantial deposit and rent the ballroom to someone else that night — in other words, two fees instead of one (NASCAR has already apologized to me)!"

In other words, Trump is publicly saying that he is going to mitigate his damages caused by the cancelled NASCAR banquet, but is going to keep the windfall he receives from two rental deposits. That's....generally not something you can do.

That's....generally not something you can do.

If they're breeching a contract you surly can....that's what deposits are for, troll.

You are completely mistaken.

If you break your contract to perform without just cause - you absolutely forfeit your deposit.
