The Trump National Doral resort has laid off 560 workers because of a business drought from the tourism shutdown.

The multi-course golf resort and hotel closed March 23 under orders that also closed all Miami-Dade County hotels and motels because of the coronavirus crisis.

The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification filed March 30 by Trump Miami Resorts Management LLC specifies that the layoffs include 123 servers, 43 housekeepers, and 25 cooks.

The notification said that from March 19 through April 2, the resort was forced to make temporary layoffs and furloughs.

1. Still angling for that COVID-19 payout?

4. That was my first thought.

If there's one thing we know about Fat Donnie, it's that he expects total loyalty but offers none in return. Firing ("furlough" is just a fancy word for it) nearly all his workers just increases the amount of taxpayer money Trump can put into his pocket.

6. My company called it "right sizing" when i got the boot. "Right sizing" for WHO?

Not me!

7. My first thought too

Let anyone think it is anything different. When you think of the so-called BILLIONs he claims to be worth, and look at how trivial an amount it would take to continue to pay his employees, you get an idea of what an absolute prick he is......
He not only won't spend his money on keeping his staff, he will collect money from us taxpayers to profit from being an asshole.

Perfect Trump.........or more so, any and all Republicon wealthy and uber wealthy.......

We continue to pay our homemaker, and told her not to come to work and stay home to avoid the Virus until further notice. It's going on two months now, and we plan on continuing paying her until it's all clear.

She called my wife and started crying and said not one of her other clients did what we are doing, and said they are all a lot wealthier than we are..........

F anyone with an R beside their name or on any ballot........

Firing ("furlough" is just a fancy word for it) nearly all his workers just increases the amount of taxpayer money Trump can put into his pocket. Why did he use a signing statement to eliminate oversight of the distribution of the $2 trillion? Maybe it's so he can grab a chunk for himself? No, he wouldn't do such a thing.

2. To the Laid-off, Good Luck

To the Lazy Orange Dumbass, fuck you!

3. Trump is trying to starve out the bedbugs. No workers or guests to feast on.

It might be halfway safe to stay there after this.

5. Some say bedbugs were the underlying cause.

8. Scammers gonna scam

Guessing he will pocket that large Chunk of the half trillion free cash he gets that is suppose to keep his employees paid. Does he sign the checks he gets. Fuck everything trump.
