DORAL, Fla. President Donald Trump flew to his for-profit golf resort Thursday beside the Miami airport, where the Republican National Committee is putting another half-million dollars into his cash registers by holding its second meeting there in two years.

Saul Anuzis, a former chairman of the Michigan Republican Party , shrugged off the occasional whiffs of mildew and the resorts location beneath constant jet traffic. I dont think anybody thinks about putting money in Trumps pocket, he said in the chandeliered lobby. Its just part of the overall persona of who Donald Trump is.

RNC officials did not respond to HuffPosts queries about how much they are spending to host this three-day meeting. However, a similar meeting in May 2018 ended up costing the party $602,765. The RNC already paid the resort $169,763 on Nov. 6, 2019, in advance of the current meeting. It also paid Doral $84,822 to hold a lunch fundraiser there in June 2019.

RNC members and guests also pay Doral about $1,000 each out of pocket for rooms and food at the higher-than-average-priced restaurants on site.

It doesnt bother me, said Dean Berden, a Trump supporter and husband of Michigan RNC member Kathy Berden. Id rather it go to him than some other wealthy person. ... Hes done more for this country than the last five presidents combined. And that includes Ronald Reagan.
