G-7 Summit To Be Held At Trump's Miami Golf Resort

Next year's G-7 gathering of the leaders of the world's biggest economies will take place at President Trump's Doral golf resort outside of Miami, acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney announced on Thursday.

"We used a lot of the same criteria used by past administrations," Mulvaney said. He later said it was almost as though the resort had been purpose-built for the event.

The Trump administration's decision to host the high-profile international summit at Doral is sure to stoke the ongoing controversy about Trump's decision to maintain his ownership of his businesses while also serving as president.

"We know the environment we live in," Mulvaney said, adding that Trump was willing to take the scrutiny.

Yeah, the environment where grifter Trump blantantly benefits his businesses by holding the office of POTUS but accuses Joe and Hunter Biden of underhanded dealings, where nothing improper has been proven.

Their security teams should reject the site, it porous & can be penetrated. A ck will show those incidents.

Secondly, the president is benefiting from the use of his personal property

Criteria they reviewed. Foreigners contributing to presidential income should never have made it to the starting gate, and certainly not in the race. This is unconstitutional and an impeachable offense.
