he said no bedbugs at doral, radical left democrats hearing that the perfectly located doral miami spread that false and nasty rumor. he was sued over bedbugs. somebody went to court. they settled it with a confidentiality agreement. so the person was paid? i guess, but doral and bedbug, i mean, i ll never hear the word doral again without thinking of bedbugs. meanwhile in florida, local officials were surprised by the president s promotion. the washington post reports it does kind of make you itch when they say doral, doesn t it. i can t stop thinking about bedbugs, crawling all over your body when you re in bed apparently at doral. who would go to court, get a lawyer unless they were truly covered with bedbugs.
of course the organization apparently settled, but, you know. you settle, usually when you want it to go away. when there are bedbugs at doral, the post said if the summit came to doral. a lot of people would be itching. trying to turn the sprawling golf course surrounded by houses, busy streets. bedbugs. and a nearby airport into a walled off diplomatic bug-filled island, but nobody has told him he needs to make such plans. so mike, are you itching too? just don t go there. i got to leave and take a shower now. the bedbugs will find you, bedbugs in doral, let s talk about marco rubio first of all, any comments? i thought it was very fascinating yesterday that we ve talked about the republican
rubio. oh, geez. of florida, when asked about president trump potentially hosting the next g7 summit at florida s golf club, saying he thinks it s a great idea and that his biggest concern is traffic. president trump is defending his florida golf club as a choice for the site of the next g7 summit. his endorsement on monday inspired critics to bring up a 2016 incident that according to the miami herald was later settled in a confidentiality agreement. a lot of bedbugs. sued after claiming he woke up with dozens of bites all over him. bedbug bites. awful. that he says he got while staying there. eww. that s awful. trump responded on twitter yesterday. i mean, i m itching right now, thinking about bedbugs. i m so itchy. that s gross.
washington post and other newspapers in this country, it is so refreshing. well, you know, yesterday, i found an old article, around six months old, that david fahrenthold had written about doral losing money, 65% in revenue over the past couple of years, and maybe it s because of the bedbugs, maybe that got around, if you go to doral, you get bit by bedbugs i don t know, but fahrenthold had said after tweeting that article, i said this guy is quickly becoming the indispensable reporter of the trump era, and sure enough, he and his colleague jonathan o connell just an hour or two later broke a story that we re going to tell you about, but mike, it s extraordinary reporting on his part. and joe, people are not aware, nobody outside the business is aware, and we don t expect them to be aware, these things are not done in an hour
obviously i re-tweeted a story from may of this year because donald trump has put it back in the center, but tell us about doral. you reported earlier this year that it s really run into some problems that go far beyond bedbug infestation. sure. one thing you have to keep in mind here is how important doral is to trump s overall financial health. it produces more revenue for him than any of his golf clubs or hotels, it has one of the biggest loans than any other property. it s very very important to him, and it s doing very poorly, profitability has fallen by 69% since 2015. revenues have gone down. they lost big events. they lost a strip clubs charity event earlier this year, and the reason they lost it, according to the trump s own representative is trump s brand. his brand is toxic, it s politicized, and she blamed that for their drop in revenue. and you talked about, though, somebody who obviously doesn t mind helping trump, despite his
