10 Minute Explainer: Trump's Bronx Golf Course

The Brian Lehrer Show | Mar 7, 2019

After an incisive line of questioning from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at Michael Cohen's hearing where she referred to "driving past" the Trump golf course in the Bronx, Ilya Marritz, WNYC reporter and host of the Trump, Inc. podcast at WNYC, explains the history of golf course and where the money goes.

"The thing that Giuliani wanted to do, he announced this in the last three days in his mayoralty, was bring a PGA tournament to NYC… that was the Trump Organization’s pitch in 2010 and said ‘we want to develop this,’” says @ilyamarritz on the Trump Golf Links in the Bronx.

"[The City] finally agreed to gave Trump the use of the course for free basically for four years, that’s ending this year…. To give you an idea of their revenues, for a three month period last spring, the course brought in $2.3 million," @ilyamarritz on Bronx's Trump Golf Links.
