Trump’s National Doral Resort Golf Club Shortlisted for Next Year’s G-7 Summit: Report
Jamie Ross
Published 07.22.19 6:51AM ET

Trump National Doral, President Trump’s struggling golf resort in Miami, has reportedly been shortlisted as a potential location to host the G-7 summit when it comes to the U.S. next year. Axios reports the Trump property is among the final few possible locations under consideration. It will be the first G-7 summit—an annual meeting of the leaders of the world’s most powerful economies—to be hosted in the U.S. since 2012, when Barack Obama invited leaders to Camp David. Earlier this year, the Washington Post reported that Trump’s Doral resort was in “steep decline” and that, in two years, the resort’s net operating income had fallen by 69 percent.

with one stone. Get the declining resort spiffied up and advertise it as a great place to golf. What a guy, always thinking (of himself and his interests) Emoluments Clause? That is for (D)'s like all the other presidential rules.

It is now permissible to stuff cold hard cash into trDump's wallet in the bright light of day. No reason to now conceal the blatant unethical conduct or corruption.

Fascistic Monarchy is the new Democracy.

Are we just giving him the run of the place now? No more rules or laws or anything to rein him in?

Fuck this!

While he is there.

Do you think there is a chance he could make it the G-7 + 1? I mean, is there nothing he can't get away with?

I'm not religious, but I feel like someone up there needs to throw our side a bone here. It just isn't fair! He gets away with murder and we can't catch a break!
