Seth Abramson wants a major media investigation of the bedbugs at Doral

Twitter thread, tweeted minutes ago, starting here:






If @realDonaldTrump wants to read more about my views on the bedbugs at Doral, he can check out the @washingtonpost piece below (or he can read Proof of Conspiracy, in which—many people are saying—the villains are more insidious than bedbugs) #TrumpBedBugs
https://beta.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-pushes-back-on-nasty-rumor-of-bed-bug-infestation-at-his-doral-golf-resort/2019/08/27/6da6146e-c8b5-11e9-a1fe-ca46e8d573c0_story.html


1/ I'm not knocking the bedbugs at Doral. They're tremendous—the best. And I think you know that.

I'm saying if it's a choice between bedbugs and having hostile powers purchase America's foreign policy outright, I'll risk the bedbugs.

Even the tremendous bedbugs that Doral has.


2/ To be serious a moment, we don't know if Doral still has the very large number of bedbugs it—based on photographic evidence and Doral settling a lawsuit on the question—once had. I *strongly* suggest a major-media investigation to detail the current bedbug situation at Doral.


3/ If Trump wants to host the G7 at Doral, it's vital we be sure it's free of bedbugs. It'd be "negligent" of America to host the world's most powerful leaders in bungalows absolutely riddled with bedbugs. I imagine Trump would swing the doors wide open for such an investigation.


4/ But the real pressing question here is: couldn't the bedbugs do better than Doral? #TrumpBedBugs

Pool water!
Donald Trump has regularly boasted his hotels and resorts are the world’s finest. In Florida, pool inspection reports tell a different story.

8. He is such a cheap bastard, I wouldn't want to go to or eat anything at one of his properties.

Oh, and let's add to this his defiance of regulations. There is no doubt that he will cut corners anyway he can and that can only result in health and safety violations.

7. Why do you think he brings Melanoma to his hotels?

She's the (high-priced) canary in those gilded coal mines. The bait for the bedbugs.
And any bedbugs that happen to bite his pudgy ass die immediately from Adderall poisoning.

renovation of the Doral resort for the G7. All at taxpayer expense, of course. It is losing money, so he wants to make money on it in other ways. What is wrong with Camp David??
