The Trump administration, which next year will host the leaders of the world's most powerful economies for the G7 summit, is down to its final few choices after completing site surveys of possible locations — and Trump National Doral, President Trump's 800-acre golf club in Miami, is among the finalists.

Why it matters: Trump loves showing off and promoting his properties, with no qualms about criticism for mixing state and personal business. He has hosted both China's Xi Jinping and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe at Mar-a-Lago.

1. Of course Trump will choose his property.

His greed must be fed. Forget ethics.

3. And his ego.

He'd brag for years about holding a G7 summit at Doral and claim over and over again that the world leaders said they'd never been to such a nice resort and they wished the G7 summits would always be held there. Even if they said no such thing. Especially if they said no such thing.

2. Good

It'll give the heads of state a chance to see climate-change-induced tidal flooding, flesh-eating bacteria, algae blooms, red tides and marine life destruction up close and personal. And another arrow in the emoluments-clause case lands in the quiver.

4. NO NO NO. This should NOT even have been considered!! NO NO NO

5. Why is this allowed? Come on law suits.

6. Oh, I wonder who will win?!

SO exciting!

8. How much $$$ will he personally take in?

I still don't get how the emoluments case was decided in the Racist Racist's favor? Was it a Federalist Society judge?

9. I'm old enough to remember when this was illegal

When the rule of law doesn't exist anymore, what are we left with??
