It is already well-known that the business elite can pay $200,000 to join Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club in Florida and that the president has spent four of the last five weekends at that resort hobnobbing with its members — and also bringing powerful administration officials with him. If the notion of a president personally profiting from selling access to himself rubs you the wrong way, you’re not alone. Eight Democratic senators are pushing for Mar-a-Lago as well as the White House to release their visitors’ logs so that the public can know who has been granted access to the president.

On Thursday, President Donald Trump’s son Eric Trump told the New York Times, “The stars have all aligned. I think our brand is the hottest it has ever been.”

Much like the simple-minded portrayal of Eric Trump parodied on “Saturday Night Live,” the real-life version seems to have admitted too much. After all, it doesn’t look good that a sitting president will make bank off of the Senior PGA Championship being held at the Trump National Gulf Club in the Washington, D.C., suburbs on Memorial Day weekend, or that the United States Women’s Open will be held at a Trump course in Bedminster, NJ in July. As the Trump golf courses continue to bid for more major exhibitions, it will be impossible to determine how much their success will be the result of the fact that companies that award them with contracts will be putting money in the president’s pocket.
