    Well screw 'em. The Press and everyone else said that Camp David was too small, the bus ride was too long. He was going to provide a World Class Venue at cost but screw it. Back to Camp David we go.

    Trump Scraps Plan To Hold 2020 G-7 Summit At His Doral Golf Resort After "Irrational Hostility"
    [​IMG]
    "We will no longer consider Trump National Doral, Miami, as the Host Site for the G-7 in 2020. We will begin the search for another site, including the possibility of Camp David, immediately."

    The president "thought I was doing something very good for our Country by using Trump National Doral, in Miami, for hosting the G-7 Leaders."

    It is big, grand, on hundreds of acres, next to MIAMI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, has tremendous ballrooms & meeting rooms, and each delegation would have its own 50 to 70 unit building. Would set up better than other alternatives.

    Having a foreign national sleep in your hotel is a stretch to think the emoluments clause applies.

    Please explain

    Though I will give Trump this much. He is causing a lot of legislation to be tested

    Doral is NOT a “world class venue”

    Nah, Democrats are throwing everything against the wall to see if they can get anything to stick, even laws that have never been tested.

    LOL! Doral is off. Trump fans defended the move to have the G7 summit at Doral for days, and then Trump reverses course, because even he couldn't defend the obvious ehtics violation. As usual, he throws his supporters under the bus. However, they'll come back for more.

    Perhaps just perhaps it is because this is the least civil, least honest president to ever hold office

    More like a hostile conflict of interest drove him to cancel. Thank goodness the last thing we need is to subsidise Trump businesses which are losing money.

    Mick Mulvaney: Trump ‘surprised’ over Doral pushback
    https://www.politico.com/news/2019/10/20/mulvaney-trump-doral-resort-g7-051990

    But he added Trump' “still considers himself to be in the hospitality business” and he saw an opportunity to “put on the absolute best show, the best visit he possibly could” for world leaders.

    “Could we have put on an excellent G-7 at Doral?” Mulvaney said. “Absolutely. Will we end up putting on an excellent G-7 someplace else? Yes, we will.”
    ..................................................................................................................................................
    Note to Mick. Even though your boss doesn't get it.....you should. The G-7 is not about putting on an event. It's about economic policy effecting the world's economies. Do us a favor. Let the Orange Idiot know ending these destructive trade wars is more important than the quality of the chocolate cake.

    The best "show"?? This is really what it's all about for Trump? The presidency is a "show"? But, what do you expect when you elect a reality TV showman to office?

    Camp David works but perhaps Laredo TX would open some eyes.
    BTW,
    When was Australia included in the G7?

    That is what we are dealing with. A superficial dope with a dangerous level of ignorance who is more concerned with appearances than substance.

    I don't think Mulvaney will be around much longer ….and I bet he has long since given up explaining anything to the Idiot-in-Chief..
