With trump's Doral bed bug haven trending with #EmolumentsClause, now seems as good a time as any to remind world leaders of his BED BUG problems at the resort.

Be a shame if #TrumpBedBugs started trending. https://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/ent-columns-blogs/jose-lambiet/article129651494.html

Some people (like myself) have no reaction to them at all.

Fun as it is to make fun of Trump over this, bedbugs can infest anywhere where hosts (people) are, has nothing to do with sanitation or cleanliness or the like. Can't just like 'clean up and they go away'. Huh-uh. They're not like ants or roaches or mice.

They found an infestation in at a seating area in Phoenix airport a couple years back. PHX airport is kept pretty clean ... but there's a WHOLE LOT of people.

Ifound that out. I had hundreds of bites (literally hundreds) and I moved my room 4 times in two weeks. I even put all my luggage in the shower figuring they couldn't climb slippery porcelain. They wouldn't let me on the plane and I had to go stay with relatives in Italy. My aunt thought it was measles and wouldn't let ne near her pregnant daughter until I went to the hospital. "Multi insect punctura" was the diagnosis (multiple insect bites).

When I got back home to a dermatologist I was told I was actually bitten ONLY about 75 times but my body had an allergic reaction that was identical to the bites. Yuk!
