President Trump, in remarks at a Cabinet meeting Monday, hit back at critics who had claimed he had sought to benefit from the publicity of using his his golf resort in Doral, Florida, to host the G7.
"They say, 'Oh, you get promotion.' You don't think I get enough promotion? I get more promotion than any human being that's ever lived," Trump said. "I don't need promotion."
Despite his argument, Trump nonetheless scrapped his plan to host the summit there over the weekend, after from within his own party......................
.....................According to The New York Times, it was when moderate members of his own party said that they could not defend the decision that Trump announced that a different venue was being sought.

(397 posts)1) republicans can hold Trump in check if they want to.
2) they generally don't want to.
When elections roll around - even (perhaps especially) if Trump has gone through impeachment. Do not forget - and do not let others forget - that republicans throughout congress and senate supported fraudulent elections, appointments to federal departments or ambassadorships based on party contributions. The cruel and barbaric treatment of refugees and migrants. The abandonment of foreign allies. Emoluments, attaching self serving conditions to already granted congressional funding. - the list is endless.
They gave Trump their blessing. They ignored the laws and constitutions, they waived morals and accepted criminal behaviour by both Trump and his inner circle of crooks and liars.
Denouncing Trump when they only fear for the safety and comfort of their own positions is not honourable.
