The COVID-19 outbreak in the U.S. has now heavily impacted the Trump Organization, forcing it to permanently fire a substantial number of its employees at the Mar-a-Lago Golf Club in Palm Beach, Florida.
When stay-at-home orders and social distancing measures were implemented, the Trump Organization temporarily furloughed more than 2,100 staff members, including 250 if its 560 golfing employees in Florida.
