For years, elite golf didn’t want Donald Trump. Now, it’s finding its way back to him. As new money floods the sport, Trump is turning his golf empire into something far more powerful than a collection of courses—he’s turning it into leverage.

  1. I'm starting to understand why Gentleman Clubs and Golf Clubs and why their rules exist. It sucks that now Golf loves him, he will just make it worse somehow, he always finds a way.

  2. The US is supposed to be a Nation that is for the people & by the people. Our government is supposed to have checks & balances. Monopolies are supposed to be illegal. Are we witnessing the most corrupt administration in United States history? Corruption in America is flat out immune to punishment now. We've never seen an administration that cares so little about the American people. Our government is repeatedly bailing out the Rich & Powerful, while getting rid of & cutting all of our public services.

  3. Great breakdown. Where was this video when Biden was president and doing the exact same thing with China?

  4. You mention US states like Florida but no mention of Scotland – the home of golf – instead a generic UK specific comment…

  5. The endless amount of Human Right Violation by US always fell to deaf ears, BUT when foreign country try to compete with US billionaire friends, suddenly: human right matter. "Rules for thee but not for me"

  6. I live in Africa and know corruption when I see it and this is a classic example. Its interesting to see the west has an open corruption too. When he's out of office PGA is going to kick him out too.

  7. He better be good! It’s all he does! That still doesn’t change the fact that he is a cheater. He’s a cheater in the game and a cheater in life.
