    beside it being illegal, @cost is an advantage

    1- when your business is losing $, at cost keeps you afloat; @ cost > loss
    2- plenty of business performs at cost, or even at a loss for their branding. The gain in recognition, branding is a value
    3- the expectation is set. You want anything from the US, the expectation is you need to stay at a Trump property

    With his history of creative book keeping, outsourcing and favor trading, what are the odds that @ cost won't be inflated. If this really goes through I can already hear the excuses - "It was absolutely at cost, there was NO self-enrichment, but even if there was self-enrichment it is totally normal for a business to do this, deal with it!"

    At cost is kinda like running a non profit.

    You spend boat loads more on "independent contractors" you've hired that you also just happen to maybe....own.

    And you could also spend a boat load to renovate the property, bringing it up to standard of a site that can host the G7.

    Now trump claiming its 'at cost' like trump is doing us a favor:

    https://www-m.cnn.com/2019/10/19/politics/white-house-trump-doral-resort-g7-cost/index.html?r=https://www.cnn.com/

    Im sure there is a justifiable reason that olive costs $627 dollars!! The funnier part to me is I can see trump already thinking he is so smart jacking up all the costs of his stuff. Isnt this old hat now with his mar lago and getting secret service in trump tower at exorbitant rates? This is old news and dude continues to line his pockets. This dude was negative in hole floating on shady deutchbank loans and now he is fleecing gubmint on his scotland property and all this other traffic. Its so low class of him it shows how sickly desperate this guy is for money and how little he has. This is me like trying to walk with the mint bowl at pappasitos. Ridiculous honestly..

    Ive been willing to accept the fact that trump is a raging joke and one day we will be past it and can finally move on. In meantime when the comment is 'get over it' and then in same breath this doral thing and I cant help but think what a raging joke WE all are becoming if this is allowed to continue.

    He is going for broke in all ways. Its absolutely fascinating but also a testament to how low we can all allow the bar to be lowered? Even here on this bbs no one seems to want to support trump directly. Isnt that kinda weird?

    And im all for differing of opinion but when you are telling us to get over crazy acts like the Ukraine shakedown and using your property I just cant see how thats ok???!!!..regardless of gun control or abortion or whatever else. I just dont get how can justify the theft?

    Whenever the bar is lowered we take out a shovel and keep digging. This guy is complete trash and we are a raging joke of a country if we let it continue.

    Yup left wing at that!!

    Yeah exactly. Its like forrest gump never made a profit either wink wink..
    This is easy because later when try to look at it he will be 'under audit' then when a whistleblower comes out about it or the audit report is finally released by supreme court it will be fake news. Then when all the contractors dont get paid for it, it will be a mixture of "im smart business guy for stiffing them' with a dash of fake news and witch hunt. This dude is not smart at all and is clowning everyone in broad daylight.

    He reminds me of posting up at street cafe and people watching a pickpocket do his thing. It would be more fascinating if it wasnt the friggin president of united states.

    Smh

    Trump, as usual, using someone else to feel out the media. Backlash. Blame crazy liberals. Backpedal from f***-facedness. Next f***-faced Trump moment coming soon.
