While President-elect Donald Trump is probably spending Thursday getting ready for tomorrow’s inauguration, attorneys for one of his resorts are looking to settle a lawsuit alleging that a customer was attacked by bedbugs while staying there. The case has been going on since July, when Eric Linder of New Jersey filed a complaint alleging that he was covered in bites on his face, neck, and arm from bed bugs from staying at the Trump National Doral Miami resort.

According to The Miami Herald, attorneys for Linder and the Trump resort are expected to meet on Thursday to see how they can put the matter behind them. In addition to the physical effects of the bites themselves, Linder has claimed that he left clothing behind in the villa where he stayed out of fear they became infested, and that he suffered humiliation from having to spend 24 hours covered in ointment. The resort had previously argued that the bed bugs were the result of Linder’s own carelessness and negligence.

Linder was seeking at least $15,000 for his trouble. It remains to be seen whether the two sides will reach an agreement.

1. That's what Trump is

a giant bedbug

You didn't invite him, the country didn't vote for him, and here he is
with his radical agenda that you can do nothing about

annoying and itchy, loud and exasperating, just the worst plague. ever.

3. His OWN negligence?!?!?............

What...was he supposed to pay to have one of Cheeto's RESORT rooms treated for bed bugs BEFORE he slept in the bed?? Hell...I'd ask for $2M and settle for one.

"The Doral’s defense, so far, is that Linder “conducted himself so carelessly and negligently that his conduct was the sole proximate cause or contributing cause” to the bug covering his body. In their response to the suit, however, Trump’s lawyers didn’t explain just how Linder was allegedly negligent."

Gosh...what a SHOCK,Trumps lawyers like a chip off the old block throw CRAP out and hope it will stick to something just like their boss.

7. He better get a cashiers check before agreeing to a settlement.

Drumpf will just stiff him like he does everyone else. Truly, he should just not settle unless he's paid in full via cashiers check today, which you know Drumpf won't do as he can't stand not screwing over the little guys.

9. Hmmm.....

Almost sounds like a tempting plan.

Go to the pet store and buy mice and other bugs and release them all over his properties.

10. When we stayed there on business a few years back, it was roaches that were an issue. n/t

11. I bet they were the best bed bugs.

12. Of course he was careless and negligent.

Any responsible person would have hired prostitutes to drown them by peeing on them. Problem solved!
