My guess is POTUS didn’t care what the Dems/media would say but other G-7 countries refused to go to Doral.
“...gives the dems a win...”
hehehehe. A “win” for a day! In the big picture President Trump wins again.
Any reason you would think that?
I believe the Prez was not looking for financial. He gives entire paycheck away and was going to charge ‘cost’ for staying at the Doral. However he did get a lot of publicity for the Doral from baiting the Rats.
Baiting. You are correct. I just wish he would have held out longer or switched to another ‘contributors’ venue.
It was a silly idea. Camp David I like. Inconvenience the press.

Yeah, Merkel hates Trump every bit as much as Pelosi and McConnell do.
It was a silly idea. Camp David I like. Inconvenience the press.
A ranch in Wyoming would be good, too.
My thoughts exactly.
She might dislike Trump but turn down a super-nice stay at Doral and miss the G-7? No way.
There is no G-7 if the other countries don’t go.
I think its too bad, but from the start it was an argument that Trump did not have to start; a fight he did not have to pick, and it was clear beforehand it would produce a fight.
Truth, they took the bait as did many who post at FR ...
They walked right into the trap
Bright shiny object dangled in front of them to yet again express faux outrage while the ball keeps moving downfield and they are desperately searching for a microphone and it’s phallic symbolism to spew into
Classic!
In the middle of winter.
Does Camp David have enough accommodations for delegations from 7 countries to stay there? Inconveniencing the press is one thing but inconveniencing the delegations is another.
I don’t know. But Obama held
The G8 summit there in 2012.
There are about a dozen cabins. Looks really pretty. Sometimes much can be accomplished in a more relaxed setting
