    Given the Doral reputation I am not sure that is going to happen

    So he will be paying for the required upgrades to his resort to accomodate the G7 leaders out of his own (business) pocket?

    Why so hush hush about the selection process and the cost/profit of this event?

    But the company did not respond to questions about how much money it will make off this event.

    Eric Trump did not respond to questions about how much the president’s company would charge the United States or foreign governments during the event. He also did not respond to questions about whether the Trump Organization would ask taxpayers to pay for upgrades to the site. One obvious concern for next year: There will be at least eight world leaders coming to this event, but at present Doral has just two “presidential suites.”

    The State Department, which typically helps organize these events, declined to comment.

    Mulvaney said the White House was not going to release information about the selection process.

    “If you want to see our paper on how we did this, the answer is absolutely not,” he said.

    Seriously, this constant whining by magats about deep states, alien lizard people and the MSM all out to get them is just getting to the point of idiocy. If you're that paranoid, lock yourself in your basement and stop bothering everyone else

    I don't believe in pod people either, few people do, but when you refuse to admit what is as obvious as a giant cancer sore on the end of your nose you're avoiding an obvious reality and delving into self delusion.

    Kind of like how global warming is a hoax. Or whatever it is that ya all are upset over Hillary's emails over.

    Is it also going to be pretended that two of Trump's operatives weren't recently arrested for funneling Russian money into Trump's campaign?

    What about the scary deep state?

    He had switched to wheat by the time of the Revolution. Using his position of influence, he brought in the latest farming methods and technology and popularized them among other farmers.

    Anyhow, how funny. Trying to pretend Trump has the moral equivalency of George Washington. What a disgrace Trump has proven himself to be.

    Because of the indefensible nature of the Doral decision, and the upcoming House resolution making it a clear violation of the Emoluments Clause, I predict the decision will be reversed.

    He was still doing business with the English the whole time he was president as well. That's the point but nice dodge.

    Feel free to take the word of a man who constantly lies about his businesses and finances. I won't. And even the revenue is bad enough, even if it does not result in a net profit.

    I hope so. Any other government official would have already been arrested at this point.

    Hunter was a private citizen being paid as a board member. He was not a government official abusing his power to award himself government contracts. Please stop pretending the two are equivalent. No one is dumb enough to fall for it.

    Seriously? Dude, the White House has published this info themselves. Trump mentioned he was thinking about it a while back, and now he's had Mulvaney announce that he intends to host the G7 summit at his own property.

    All of lil’ Bush’s brothers were on the boards of savings and loans, while their father was Vice President and then President. Those saving and loans failed under suspicious circumstances.
