MOORESVILLE, N.C. — Business is booming here at the Trump National Golf Club. “How do we get busier?” asked Jennifer Minton, the club’s controller, during a recent tour of the grounds. “We only have so many weekends.”It is a very different story in Los Angeles. A large crowd assembled this spring, but they were protesters spelling out “RESIST!” with their bodies. The divergent fortunes of the North Carolina and Los Angeles clubs reflect a broader pattern across President Trump’s business empire: The red-blue political divide is not only informing the president’s policies, it is influencing his family-owned company’s bottom line.
