Donald Trump just gave the Donald Trump-iest statement possible

Backlash against presidential candidate and self-promoter Donald Trump's inflammatory statements that "rapists" are coming to the US from Mexico has spilled over to his business interests. Univision, NBC, Sealy, and Macy's have all severed ties with Trump in some way already. And in the past few days, ESPN canceled a charity golf tournament scheduled for the Trump National Golf Club, and NASCAR announced it wouldn't hold banquets at the Trump National Doral Miami resort.

To most observers, this seems like terrible news for Donald Trump. But the man himself insisted in a defiant statement today that he's actually the real winner here — because both ESPN and NASCAR had already given him nonrefundable payments, and now he can pocket their cash and use the venues for other events:

In addition to the exclamation point and capital letters in the subject line, during Trump's bragging about the opulence of his hotel's "magnificent ballroom," and his emphasis that his golf course "overlooks the Pacific Ocean" and is "perhaps the most valuable parcel of land in all of golf," the mogul manages to coin the phrase "two fees instead of one." It's surely a fantastic slogan for a presidential campaign that's doomed to fail utterly.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.

So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)

If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
