Perhaps he has some measure of control over security there and can determine if his rooms are bugged.

And you do know they are charging at cost.

"Emoluments" is the "gravitas" of 2019.

All of a sudden, these self-important, sophomoric two-bit intellectualoids think they can impress the masses with their sophisticated use of Latinisms.

Maybe YOU are that blindingly STUPID; however, most voters aren't!

Go back to watching CNN and posting to DU; TROLL!

I can’t imagine a more productive setting for the President than one of his own resorts.

Besides isn’t he still donating the proceeds from such stays to the Treasury? If so, seems like hosting the G7 would cost him a fortune.

FOX is NOT “Right Wing Media”. They threw away that honor.

Napolitano is the crock full of shit.

he’s not taking any profits from it so how is it a violation?

There is no profit motive. It is being done at cost.

Libs: Hey, don’t step on our trigger issues.
Trump, stomping on them: You mean THESE trigger issues?

Do the liberals even know what emoluments means?

No. I read that the resort is not making any money by hosting the G7. Done at cost. No emoluments.

Perhaps the single biggest reason to host an event at Trump's own property is the same reason he rarely travels to his home at Trump Tower in New York City and instead spends his time in the NYC area out at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey: A G7 summit is a highly disruptive event and is likely to be an enormous, expensive pain in the ass for any town or county with a host facility.

The whole story is a pile of nonsense. For one thing, the event isn't even going to be held until next summer. Secondly, it's hard to take any claim about President Trump "personally profiting" from an event like this when he doesn't even accept the salary he is paid in office and is likely to be one of the only U.S. presidents in history to leave office less wealthy than he was before he was elected.

Surely the dumbass is aware that Trump donates every penny a foreigner spends at his business to the treasury, isn’t he?

"It's unseemly and inappropriate for Trump to host the summit at his resort...."

I agree. It's a dumb and unnecessary move. Who the heck is advising him, Daffy Duck?

It may not be illegal or a money-emolument.....but, holding the international summit there would be a billion dollar, world-wide advertisement for his resort....and it doesn't LOOK good.....and even his base and a dope like me knows this.

The Prez needs to take a chill pill, or take a 4 or 5-day R & R in his own resort.

Sheesh !

Heard the issue was the Value of promoting the Trump Brand.

You know, because nobody has ever heard of it. :)

Just like promoting the Clinton Foundation I guess
