Trump found another way to score at the World Cup

  • Trump National Doral Miami, a golf resort, appears to have significantly increased its room rates on days surrounding World Cup games hosted in the Miami area.
  • The resort advertised itself as an 'ultimate championship-caliber sanctuary for football enthusiasts' in anticipation of the tournament.
  • Room prices on game days, such as during a quarterfinal, are notably higher, with some starting at $460, compared with typical rates of $321 to $404.
  • While raising rates during major events and holidays is a common hospitality practice, this situation highlights ethical concerns regarding a president with an active family business.
  • The article also notes FIFA's commercial engagement with Trump, including leasing office space in Trump Tower and its president visiting Trump's resorts, and awarding Trump a 'FIFA Peace Prize'.
