Trump will host G7 summit next year at one of his own properties

U.S. President Donald Trump will be hosting next year’s Group of Seven economic summit of developed world leaders at one of his own properties, the Trump National Doral golf resort near Miami, a White House official said on Thursday.

White House acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney told reporters the summit would take place there on June 10-12, 2020.

Trump had floated the possibility during his visit to France for this year’s G7 meeting in August, touting the resort’s size and its proximity to the Miami airport, though he insisted he would not directly profit from the choice.

Not directly profit? That’s probably true. The money has to be processed through the trump accounting process first to correctly apportion it

First the money has to be combined with other illegal sources to help launder those. Then there has to be a loss for the IRS. Then there has to be future revenue shown for any potential lenders.

There will also he several other grifting opportunities that can’t be missed. The massage girls aren’t going to drive themselves.

Only after a lot of work will the money go directly into trump’s pocket.
