Trump: "No bedbugs at Doral. Radical Left Democrats spread that false and nasty rumor. Not nice!"

...and Donald Trump spread the false, nasty and not nice rumor that Barack Obama was born in Kenya.

@realDonaldTrump

No bedbugs at Doral. The Radical Left Democrats, upon hearing that the perfectly located (for the next G-7) Doral National MIAMI was under consideration for the next G-7, spread that false and nasty rumor. Not nice!

...an attempt by the other world leaders to have the most productive meeting possible while skirting around Trump, without providing him the opportunity to make himself the center of everything and blow it all up.

So why the hell would they agree to meeting on HIS turf, enriching HIM financially?

There was a clip on MSNBC last night in which Trump said "I probably won't make any money from it. I don't care about making money."

Which is a joke, because other than attention and adoration, money is ALL he cares about.

Having G7 at Doral, in Trump's mind, would "enhance" the desirability of a property that has been failing financially. Why support that?

BTW, Spanky, how smart was it to tweet about bedbugs to the whole world and draw even more attention to the fact that the Doral had them (and probably still does)? I'm sure the folks who make arrangements for G7 conferences know all about your bedbugs now if they didn't before.

All hail Emperor Pest, his many minions working hard to suck blood at night while he just plain sucks during daylight. The Master Bug of the Pestilence has come to lay waste to the land.

14. "Written up for various health code violations every year"

Aug 2019


Mice in the kitchen, filthy food prep areas and broken sewage systems are on the list of recent stomach-turning health code violations at a number of Trump-branded restaurants in the city, the Daily News has learned.

Violations at the President’s crown jewel and Manhattan residence — Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue — are perhaps the most gag-inducing.

City Department of Health inspectors visited the tower’s cafe and grill on July 11, 2018 and found “evidence of mice or live mice” in and around the kitchen, according to records that haven’t previously been reported. The inspectors categorized the violation as “critical.”

The Trump Tower eatery has been written up for various health code violations every year since 2014, including sightings of “live roaches” in 2016 and “filth flies” in 2017. But inspectors have not — until now — found mice tracks at the posh establishment.

A professor called Bret Stephens a ‘bedbug.’ The New York Times columnist complained to the professor’s boss.

He's not going to say "here at Doral we have bedbugs up the ass" even though they do.
