Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Trump's Doral resort was added as possible G-7 site at last minute, secret

service email reveals

<snip>
President Trump’s Doral resort was added to the list of finalists for next year’s Group of Seven summit after the Secret Service had already narrowed down the search to four finalists, a Secret Service email released late Friday shows.

“Our original itinerary included Hawaii, Utah, California and North Carolina,” a Secret Service official wrote, describing a trip that a team of Secret Service personnel took in July to examine the finalists, The Washington Post reported. “By departure, they had already cut two (California and North Carolina) and added Miami on the back end.”

Miami referred to the financially troubled Doral resort near the Miami airport, which wasn’t among the original 10 sites the Secret Service started looking at in late May. The official wrote on July 12 that “yesterday was the first time we put eyes on this [Doral] property.”

Got lost in Miami and was worried that I'd entered a very dicey neighborhood when I saw a sign .. Trump National Doral.

How much noise will it take for him to be convinced the G7 doesn't want bedbugs and mold? Taxpayers don't want to repair that dump. The Constitution says he can't have our Treasury.

Doral is not under consideration any more. Unless he waits until we aren't paying attention and changes his mind again.

mouths some words to the effect that he "changed his mind" when people get in an uproar about some issue, and then does it. He has to be watched continually, like a toddler.

was essentially using his office for financial gain. Under any other President, that would be impeachable.

I kind of wish the House would include the financial bribery and emoluments stuff as well in the impeachment. Otherwise the next President should just set up an LLC and pump public funds and have politicians, businesses, and governments deposit money into it.

Knows public gave negative feedback.
Said he'd changed his mind.
Gave THAT truly FAKE and dishonest bit to the press.
Conned his SS with phony itinerary of 4 places to spot check.
Dropped 2 of 4 places. BUT RE-ADDED his moldy Doral in Miami.

It's OUR time to take action and, thereby, follow Mr. Kent's wisdom ::

"You can't promote anti-corruption without pissing off corrupt people."

I am a native of NC but cannot think of a possible venue. I'm sure I'm forgetting somewhere obvious.
