More military patronage for Trump properties

As President Donald Trump continues to face scrutiny over government spending at his hotels, a U.S. Marine Corps reserve unit stationed in South Florida appears to have been planning yet another event that could profit the U.S. leader, with hopes of holding a gala at Trump's Mar-a-Lago club in November.

The location of the event is clearly listed as Mar-a-Lago on the event page. However, asked for details by the Herald, an unidentified Marine at the unit's drill center reportedly told the newspaper that plans for the event were not yet "set in stone."

[...]

"It's a work in progress," the marine said. "We are planning on Mar-a-Lago but nothing is set in stone. We booked it but there were complications involved. ... It's just money and some other things. We're doing our best."

"Some other things."

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
