it’s the “appearance” that makes this completely idiotic. Why give libs some ammunition shackle you with a BIDEN type mentality???
Dumb....and if he doesn’t understand it....the power of the office has blinded him.
He’s not giving them ammunition so much as inviting them to rage about something stupid.
Before this is over, the event will be free, not just at cost. That will give Trump the high ground.
It’s also an unequivocal opportunity to project personal power. The more they rage, the more powerful Trump appears.

You gotta understand that beneath this is TRUMP TROLLING THE DEMOCRATS.
Trump has made it clear that he doesn’t profit from being here. The resort is doing it at cost…it’s much cheaper to do it at Doral than at other sites [that were being considered.]. This statement was made by OMB Director Mick Mulvaney.
Now, there are two reactions to this -— NO I DON’T BELIEVE THIS or YES, I TAKE HIM AT HIS WORD.
Trump, by doing this, is TROLLING those who think the former ( THOSE WHO HATE HIM ).You can imagine a gleeful Trump tickled pink as his Democratic opponents rage about his choice. Once again, he’s playing them like a fiddle.
It would That would definitely be corrupt — if Trump or his family were actually making any money off the summit.
Congress could easily check on this. The White House says that the resort will host the event “at cost” which, considering the enormous amount of planning and resources that will be devoted to not just rooms for all the leaders, their aides, and their security detachments, but site security, food, press accommodations, and all the rigmarole that goes into these made-for-TV events, means that the emoluments clause doesn’t apply.
In other words, Trump is going to take a financial bath by hosting the summit there.
What won’t be on the bill will be the millions of dollars in free publicity Trump’s property will receive all over the world. So yes, in the end, our president will profit handsomely from holding the summit there.
But he wants the Democrats to waste more of their time investigating this.
As Mulveny pointed out yesterday 'Trump got over that a long time ago'.
Mulveny was great, he punched back hard.
The biggest selling point of Doral is how furious it makes the Left.
The only blindness here is your mindless hate for the President of the US.
Dear MORON squad.
The host Government pays for everything in a G7 summit. Doing it at cost on property he owns saves the US a whole freaking crap ton of money. It has nothing at all too do with “emoluments” you politically bigoted infantile children
