GOLF — The PGA Tour is moving its annual WGC-Cadillac Championship from Trump-owned Doral in Miami to an unspecified course in Mexico City, ending a 53-year partnership with the resort.

The Donald sounded characteristically ambivalent about the breakup.

“I mean, I just heard that the PGA Tour is taking their tournament out of Miami and moving it to Mexico as an example,” Trump said. “They’re taking it — it’s at Doral, it’s at — they used one of my places. They’re moving it to Mexico City which, by the way, I hope they have kidnapping insurance. It is so sad when you look at what’s going on with our country.”

“I would make much more money at Doral if I didn’t have a tournament,” he said. “(March) is the prime month in Florida, you can’t get a room and I have the best rooms in Miami. I love the tournament, it’s been here 50 years. With all of that said, I would make much more money.”

This is just another example that Donald Trump can spin anything in his favor. What should be a rough day for The Donald, has just played right into the guy’s political story line. The only thing that could have made it more in his favor if they moved his tournament to China. Now he gets to go around the country, talk about how our country is losing golf tournaments, jobs, etc to other countries even though it was his fault in the first place. Damn, Donald. Back at it again with the perfect spin zone.
