Former members of Trump's golf club may wait the rest of their lives for refunds from trump

Golfers who quit their memberships at Trump National Doral after the property’s namesake became president were aiming to lose their link to a man they do not support. Turns out they could be waiting for Trump to pay them back for the rest of their lives.

Two longtime golf members who resigned weeks after Trump won the 2016 presidential election said they were no longer willing to write him checks. Another quit last December after he said the club became too political. They spoke to the Miami Herald on the condition of anonymity, saying they fear retaliation. These former members are now on a waiting list to get their deposits back — ranging from $10,500 to $19,000 — that has more than 265 people on it.

To move up the list by one spot, four new golf members need to join the club, according to the membership terms. Deposit amounts vary depending on when members joined.

Trump has been a con, grifter, crook, fraudster, cheat, etc his entire adult life, and EVERYONE with half a brain has known that since the 80s/90s at minimum. ANY money you EVER give Trump is best assumed GONE forever, no matter what terms the payment was made under.
