President Donald Trump will have next year’s G7 meeting at his own golf course in Doral, Florida, chief of staff Mick Mulvaney announced on Thursday.

In announcing that the G7 meeting will be held at the Trump National Doral Miami, Mulvaney insisted that the president will not personally profit from holding the meeting there and claimed that it was simply the “best” place to hold the summit.

Mulvaney deflected reporters’ questions about using the G7 summit to boost the golf resort’s brand name by saying that the Trump brand name is already widely known throughout the world and doesn’t need a G7 meeting to make it stronger.

Mulvaney also insisted that holding the G7 at the president’s own golf club would not detract from Trump’s argument that former Vice President Joe Biden improperly profited from his office.

I am so sick of their blatant criminality! And they do it because nobody stops them! This cannot be allowed to stand.

I really feel like I am going mad sometimes. I can't get my mind around what is happening.

"No bedbugs at Doral," says Donald Trump. Plenty of emoluments however.

11. Hope trump will be impeached by then

I can dream

12. I am laughing because my experience of this place WAS NOT 5 star by any stretch...

This is a huge UNFUNNY joke...


I booked through Priceline (blind deal) when my wife landed in the US for the First time (take that TRUMP) and it was VERY SUBPAR for what was supposed to be a 5star experience (wanted it to be special... it wasn't)

13. i'm gonna keep this kicked

for the life of me, I don't understand why people don't scan the forum before posting.

you were one of the first to start a thread on this; now we have about 10.

16. I do try to check, sometimes one will slip by me

DU's search function is not 100% reliable 100% of the time. I have searched and come up with nada and then looked and saw that I posted a dupe. But I do make an effort, so thank you.

[CatWoman]

19. as do I

you're welcome

14. Qusay and Uday will profit mightily and Dadums will get a taste on the back side.

15. Besides lining his own pockets...

He also wants it on his property so he can invite Putin and have him there.

[Miles Archer]

17. Well, he's been clear about his intention to have him back in...

...and what could be sweeter than showing off a Trump branded property to the boss?

18. Calling allies for help

The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act is supposed to prevent companies and individuals from acting corruptly abroad and in furthering corrupt practices abroad.

If l was asked to stay in a hotel connected with anyone in a company l was working with l would immediately tell my management chain in writing and would wait for an answer in writing. I expect l would be told it was inappropriate if not illegal and there would be steps taken to deal with the improper request.

I don’t know what the equivalent is in government but assume there must be something?

I also assume the other G7 countries have equivalent laws.

The United States is clearly a corrupt government. I hope that our allies refuse to further our corruption both at the government level and at the individual level. No person should agree to attend a corrupt venue, at least without getting a waiver that their countries laws are not being broken

We need to be called out on our corruption b

20. If he does this all the countries will have to send in bed bug teams before the event.

Can't have leaders of countries showing up for photo ops with bites on their necks.

21. So the trump org is not charging the G7 guests for anything? nt
