Trump must pay $15.000 fine
The hangover after the fund raising event in March that featured Elton John is that Trump has to come up with $15.000 in a fine.
- The 900 people that visited Mar-a-Lago were 200 more than Trump had negotiated with the town to be allowed.
- Another for a member advertising an event at the club.
- Another for replacing dying hedges with too-small replacements at the oceanfront estate.
Trump decided to just pay up instead of going through all the paperwork of a law process. Well just crumbs for a high roller.
Trump: “I am deeply disappointed the town would want to penalize my efforts to host one of the world’s foremost entertainers for a very worthwhile charity and an evening which brought great acclaim to Palm Beach.”
