Florida Republicans Pave the Way for Trump to Obtain Casino License: After a controversial deal was negotiated by close Trump ally Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.), Florida legislators have approved a legislative package that will dramatically expand gambling in the state as well as set the stage for former President Donald Trump to pursue a casino license for his ailing Doral Golf Resort. The deal and legislation also include language that bars the Seminole Tribe from ever opposing a casino at the former President’s Doral resort.
Perfect idea, given that the Trump family has such a flawless record managing casinos. Leave it to Florida to bend all the rules, just to allow the Trumps to bankrupt another gambling hall. Seems that in DeSantis’ Florida, all you have to do is “grease some palms” and you’ll get whatever you want. And, as we all know, Florida is well known for its “palms.” Hell, and while you're at it, why not really show your appreciation, and throw in a big bunch of juicy tax breaks too!
Of course, all this could become a wee bit complicated, in the event that Trump’s massive legal problems in New York resulted in a felony or two, given that most states do not permit convicted felons to be casino operators. Of course, in a place like Florida, being a convicted felon may actually be an asset - not an impediment. Gee, I wonder who’ll be bankrolling this lovely venture anyway? Russia? Turkey? Saudi Arabia? North Korea?
Call me clairvoyant, but I can see it all now, “The Donald J. Trump - Presidential Library, Casino, and Massage Parlor.” Oh hell, why stop there? May as well just go ahead and grant Trump a license for prostitution also. Nothing like “one-stop shopping” for all your vices. Anyway, one thing’s for sure, under the expert guidance of Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Republicans, the state is now well on its way to transitioning from “Florida” - into “Bananastan.”
