Losing the tournament costs the area tourists/hotel reservations/restaurant visits/airline use......so by my calculations he's in the hole in the number of jobs created. Hasn't even taken office.

Yeah--everyone it is H2-B visas that Trump abuses in order to avoid hiring Americans.

Everyone got that now?

One percenters who live in resorts and need a massive amount of 'help' because their women do not clean houses or cook--hire H2-B visa workers to come in and do the dirty work.

Losing the tournament is going to hit Doral in the wallet for many years. It likely will decrease the value of the property. Having that tournament was major bragging rights and made it stand out over other courses. Prices that people pay to play/stay at Doral could be impacted negatively over time without this major tournament.

The Doral website's first page mentions the PGA tournament. It's one of their main marketing points. If it wasn't so important it wouldn't be on the main page of their web site. It's major bragging points and there was a dollar figure (in marketing) that was attached to those bragging rights. That's gone now. This is a major $$$ loss for Doral's brand image.

That ain't funny since kidnapping's a BIG problem in Mexico.

Maybe that isn't selling so many cars after all.
I live here in Bullhead City and; I don't see many Cadillacs less than about 10 years old here. But I see lots of high dollar Dodge trucks.

PGA is moving because Cadillac decided not to sponsor them anymore. Nothing to do with Trump.
It has everything to do with Trump. This was Cadillac dumping Trump.

He can become a political commentator on Fox. Maybe he can replace Megyn Kelly.
