After Twitter wags archly suggested that Donald Trump might want to move this year’s Republican National Convention from Charlotte, Noth Carolina to his own Doral resort in Miami — after the president tweeted a warning to that state’s Democratic governor earlier this morning threatening to cancel the event if the state didn’t start to relax its pandemic restrictions — Trump took the satirical commentary seriously and issued a sharp denial of any such plans in his social media feed.

As someone who seems to get the majority of his information from right-wing news outlets and unverified conspiracy theorists on Twitter, Trump, of course, didn’t bother to verify whether the media was actually reporting what “April” said it had reported, as Maggie Haberman of The New York Times soon reminded the president.

Who’s the one stirring up trouble here? It doesn’t appear to be The New York Times.

1. But he said Doral had enough parking for the G-7.

2. This is what he does-- denies something that he wants to do--

And then starts saying why not, why won't they let me do that, and pretty soon, RNC will be at Doral. In August. In Florida.

5. "I whine until I win"?

Yeah, tired.

3. If it were the G7...

WE would have had to pay for massive up grades, twice and he would have a renewed grifting machine. Since it's a Republican event and some of them would have to pay for it and NO upgrades, not going to happen.

4. In this case, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Haberman

Is a legacy hack, but I'll side with her.
