President Trump announced Saturday night that his administration will no longer consider his personal resort in Doral, Fla., to host the 2020 G-7 summit, and suggested he might consider Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland instead.

“Based on both Media & Democrat Crazed and Irrational Hostility, we will no longer consider Trump National Doral, Miami, as the Host Site for the G-7 in 2020,” the president tweeted. “We will begin the search for another site, including the possibility of Camp David, immediately. Thank you!”

The announcement followed earlier tweets in which he said he thought he “was doing something very good for our Country” by hosting world leaders at his Florida resort next year. […]

One day after Mulvaney’s announcement, a trio of Democratic lawmakers introduced legislation to block the president from hosting next year’s summit.

Reps. Lois Frankel from Florida, Bennie Thompson from Mississippi and Steve Cohen from Tennessee proposed the Trump’s Heist Undermines the G-7 (THUG) Act. A companion bill sponsored by Sens. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., and Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., will be introduced in the Senate, according to lawmakers. …

My guess is POTUS didn’t care what the Dems/media would say but other G-7 countries refused to go to Doral.

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.

Yeah, Merkel hates Trump every bit as much as Pelosi and McConnell do.

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!

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.

There are about a dozen cabins. Looks really pretty. Sometimes much can be accomplished in a more relaxed setting
