D.L. Hughley Thinks Trump Is Selling Out America While Enriching Himself
Donald Trump returned from his tour of the Middle East Friday with some investment pledges secured in Saudi Arabia and Qatar ... but D.L. Hughley is less than impressed with the transactional deals. TMZ caught up with the comedian on "TMZ Live" Tuesday ... and he slammed Trump's shift in foreign policy, which he says focuses on rewarding whoever "gives [him] a jet or builds [him] a hotel" rather than on shared values. Notably, Qatar offered an estimated $400 million Boeing 747-8 jet to 47 ahead of his visit, to be used as Air Force One ... which Qatar's prime minister has since denied was an act of bribery. The gift is a violation of the Emoluments Clause of the U.S. Constitution, which forbids American officials from receiving gifts from foreign governments and individuals without Congressional consent -- and it's still unclear whether the plane will be accepted. D.L. says Trump wouldn't even be in a position to accept such a lavish gift if he didn't bulldoze our existing relationships with countries such as Canada and Mexico ... forcing him to create ties with new allies. Harvey pushes back, saying he's not opposed to the idea of this new "doctrine" -- but agrees with D.L. that Trump is the wrong messenger. Bottom line, the former "The Hughleys" star argues Trump's refreshed foreign approach is all about serving his best interest first, noting ... "[He's] gonna take off the top and whatever America gets, it gets." D.L. also slams Trump's dramatic approach to tariffs ... telling TMZ his back-and-forth actions have been "juvenile" due to his "rudimentary" understanding of how his proposed policies actually work. He doesn't back down, and even goes on to insist America's reputation is "up for sale" due to Trump's behavior ... even calling him a "carnival barker." You can catch the entire interview today on "TMZ Live" ... and more of D.L.'s hot takes on The DL Hughley Show.

HOA Q&A: Can non unit owners serve on committees?
Editor's note: Attorneys at Goede, DeBoest & Cross respond to questions about Florida community association law. With offices in Naples, Fort Myers, Coral Gables, Boca Raton and Pensacola, the firm represents community associations throughout Florida and focuses on condominium and homeowner association law, real estate law, litigation, estate planning and business law. Q. Our covenants committee wants to change our bylaws to allow non unit owners to serve on committees. But what are your thoughts about homeowners association employees serving on committees? --D.L., Bonita Springs A: In a condominium under Chapter 718, and a cooperative under Chapter 719, a 'Committee' is defined as a group of board members, unit owners, or board members and unit owners appointed by the board or a member of the board to make recommendations to the board regarding the proposed annual budget or to take action on behalf of the board. So, a condominium or cooperative association cannot appoint a non-owner to an official committee. However, the committee could have a non-owner act as a consultant to the committee without any voting rights. Chapter 720 applicable to homeowner associations does not define the term 'committee' so there is no prohibition on appointing a non-owner to a committee. The Bylaws of the HOA might have such a restriction however. I do not see any particular reason that a non-owner or an employee should not serve on an 'advisory' committee that does not have any binding decision making authority. However, allowing a non-owner or employee to have committee voting authority would not be proper in my opinion. HOA Q&A: When contract considered at board meeting, must a copy be attached to the notice? HOA Q&A: Can I record and post HOA meetings online to benefit other community members? Q. Is there a timeline somewhere in the statutes for the Secretary's meeting minutes to be distributed to the Board Members prior to the meetings? -- D.L., Palm Beach A. No. The applicable statutes do not dictate when the minutes of the prior meeting are to be distributed to the Board. However, if the Board intends to vote to officially approve the minutes it would be reasonable to expect that copies would be distributed prior the upcoming meeting. The Board can adopt a policy regarding this. Richard DeBoest, Esq., is Partner/Shareholder of the Law Firm Goede, DeBoest & Cross, PLLC.
