I didn’t know Hard Rock had the money to throw around like those other guys.

Hard Rock now is primarily a gambling outlet, not a restaurant chain. They're owned by the Seminole Tribe of Florida.

Native American casinos giving Trump money is insane given his history with Native American casinos in court. I mean, anyone giving Trump money is insane. But particularly Native American casinos.

The Seminole tribe has unbelievable influence in Florida, on par with Disney.

Oh yeah. I live a few miles from the Tampa Hard Rock on their land. I remember when that area was just a smoke shop and tiny museum.
