Trump's golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey was slapped with 18 health code violations, Forbes reported on Wednesday — including some truly gross ones.
Overall, the facility scored just 32 out of 100 in its health inspection, the lowest grade in all of Somerset County. Moreover, nine out of the 18 violations were deemed to be the most serious category, posing an "unacceptable health risk" to people at the establishment.
Why this should matter: Trump has been an exceptionally shitty property manager for about 50 years
Why this doesn't matter: Morons voted him in (twice) in hopes that he would run a nation state like one of his many failed businesses
A summary of his presidency.
A summary of his life.
More HHS cuts incoming.
Among the violations at the Bedminster club were failing "all three requirements in the 'food protected from contamination' category, with violations including expired milk, raw meat stored improperly and a dishwasher that may not reach the required temperature," noted the report. "The inspector also cited four separate hand-washing violations, including sinks without soap or paper towels, one lacking a required sign and another used to store a sanitizer bucket."
Anyone surprised?? Given Chump's obvious disdain for anyone else on the planet other than himself, you certainly shouldn't be...
And we know Chump doesn't eat food from there himself.
🤷♂️ 🤡 🖕
Countdown to: "I have The Cleanest Clubs™©® in the entire World! It is a FACT that all of My Beautiful Clubs earn the Highest Marks Possible every single year! This is a Deep State Democrat Communist Venezuela Illegal Immigrant Antisemite Conspiracy to hurt my business! Political Hit Job!!"
All that aside, I used to be a repair technician for a specific brand of ice cream machines and out of all the types of stores and kitchens I'd go in to, country clubs were almost always the worst. I'm glad I'm too poor to ever go into one through any door other than the service door.

I've never been a golf club, but somehow, I have no problem believing that. But my impressions may be coming from watching Curb, lol...somehow that golf club just strikes me as being seedy...
So in most cases the place would be immediately shut down. Any bets on that not happening.
Sadly, when it comes to health code violations, this is par for the course (no pun intended). Most health code violations, even when severe, are looked past so long as the business “takes steps to rectify the issue”.
So for example, lets say you have a rat infestation so bad it presents a public health risk. If you hire a pest controller or put out some traps, then the health department will let it go. Even if the steps you take never actually solve the problem. Attempting to solve the problem is considered satisfactory, even if the problem continues to exist and present a threat.
Only in cases of the most extreme gross negligence have I ever seen any place shut down completely and forced to stop business operations until they turn it around. Sadly, 33%/100% on an assessment is probably not in “shut it down now” territory. Although I think everyone agrees that should be bad enough to shut something down, our health departments are kind of like the TSA of protecting you from foodborne illness and other dangers. They dont really stop things themselves so much as their existence tends to scare people into self-regulated compliance
E: I just checked to see what the actual violations were:

"The inspector also cited four separate hand-washing violations, including sinks without soap or paper towels, one lacking a required sign and another used to store a sanitizer bucket."
I hate to burst anyones’ bubble, but these are things likely occurring at basically every place you have eaten at in the past year. Despite being the most basic compliance issues in food service. No one cares and the health department wont shut anyone down for these violations so long as they fix it now. Then they will go back to doing whatever in a month
Welcome to the US of Ass
Next week on Kitchen Nightmares:
Gordon: "You donkey! You're going to get someone killed!! You can't store raw pork and chicken in the same tray as the iceberg lett...."
Ice Nazi: "Blackbag him boys. Teach this immigrant slug to respect the new way."
I wonder if it's profitable. The free markets evangelists would say that companies like this would be competed out of business, but the current American economy is ample evidence that that theory is bunk. Invisible hand of the free market my ass.
The club itself probably is. The restaurant specifically, maybe, maybe not. I've been to a bunch of yacht clubs over the years and the restaurant doesn't always break even. Part of the appeal is having the exclusive spot. If members need to subsidize it, they're often OK with that.
Par for the course
I feel bad for the employees who eat there, but anyone who’s a paying member deserves what they get.
That inspector is about to get a bunch of death threats from the MAGA cult I suspect.
Hide the rat feces and polish that gold!
To be fair those missing paper towels went to Puerto Rico. /s
Burying his ex wife in the bunker was only the 89th item on the 169 item long list.
Must be where he stores his used diapers.
He's going to blame it on an attack by Murphy.
Well obviously. There's shit everywhere.
I would expect nothing else from the Orange turd.
