Which reporter at the Marcon-Trump presser asked this? I do not have cable/tv

Asked how he can reassure Americans he isn't trying to profit from the presidency, given he wants to host a G7 at his Doral resort, Trump claims again that the presidency has cost him $3 billion to $5 billion. (Can't fact-check a hypothetical, but no apparent basis for this.)

Which reporter asked *that* question about Trump trying to profit from the office of President?

1. NBC's Hallie Jackson

"During a news conference at the G7 in France Monday, Trump was confronted by NBC’s Hallie Jackson about the president’s desire to host next year’s summit at his Doral resort in south Florida."

3. Confronted? Asked, maybe.

2. Googled it

“You dropped several hints about Doral, and hosting next year’s g7 at your property,” Jackson said. “What reassurances, if any, can you give the American people that you are not looking to profit off the presidency?”

4. Thx, I tried one way, didn't find it. Welcome to DU

5. So, basically he flat admitted that he was trying to do exactly that ...

Will anyone else in the media run with this story?

My guess is no, they've normalized the idea of a US President making money off the power of his office.

At least, when a Repuke is in office. Should a Dem win, that will change right back ...

If a Dem POTUS, on official duty, stayed at a hotel 1/5 owned by his uncles cousins brother-in-law it would be a scandal

6. He's trying to set up that he DESERVES to make some money off his office because of

hypothetical, unprovable losses - to make it "fair."

Too bad fucker.

1) Everyone knows you lose money on everything, all the time. Your occupancy in our house has nothing to do with it.

2) That shit is still ILLEGAL. What you think is "fair" doesn't change the law.

7. OK Trump - If You're Crying Because The Presidency Has Cost You $3 - $5 Billion .......

why don't you resign so you don't have to face those losses anymore?

8. Found this...I'm honestly surprised an American reporter asked this

@HallieJackson Hallie’s question about having the 2020 G7 at Doral was brilliant. When asking about the conflict of profiting, she set him up to to ramble on and on about how great it is. She tried to give him a chance to answer he wouldn’t profit and he brushed her off.

So many of the American media value access over facts, I was betting it was a BBC/French reporter
