Trump says he’s canceling G7 summit at his resort, blames Democrats, media

[Della]

The answer so far is 'three'

LMAO, he's triggered!

I think with the financial situation Doral is in, he would do it at "cost", all while looking down the road at the advertising available if it had been held there.

"Doral! Where the UNITED STATES hosted the best and most productive G-7 Summit EVER!"

I know I want to be in Miami in the summer with it’s 100% humidity and hurricanes. No. I went there in August me year and it was miserable. Plus we were evacuated for a hurricane. Had to drive all the way to Atlanta to get a flight home.

Miami is a lot more pleasant in August than north Florida. And hurricanes are predictable weeks out. I'm not quite sure why you mentioned this. How long were you there? Did you not get word that Florida had a chance of a hurricane before you visited?

I like to go on vacations in places off season because I hate crowds. That part was perfect, it was very quiet. I’m used to hot humid summers in the northeast but they don’t compare. I don’t really think of the extremes like blizzard and hurricanes. Probably why we’ve been stuck in blizzards, torrential rains and hurricanes.

We were supposed to be there for two weeks but only six days before they had a mandatory evacuation. I also didn’t know that they evacuate days before it hits, thats how little I knew.

Why is north Florida worse?

We went to Orlando in June one year. The only place that wasn't miserable was by the pool!!

He would be receiving millions of dollars worth of advertising. There's no way around the fact that he would profit. And I doubt he's willing to give everyone free room service, free spa treatments, free alcohol, etc.

Plus who wants to be in Miami in August? It's the most unpleasant time of the year. It's definitely not the best place for the G7 meeting.

What if he doesn’t make a profit and he donates everything?

"The U.S. Constitution’s emoluments clause prohibits government officials from receiving salaries, fees or profits from foreign and domestic governments without congressional approval."

...

"White House acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney on Thursday told reporters that Trump will not profit from use of the property because any charges would be “at cost.” He also said using Doral "was millions of dollars cheaper" than other facilities and would lead to a “roughly 50% savings.”

Why didn't he submit the plans and cost in a contract of sorts to congress?

I don't think she understands.

He's forbidden by the Constitution to do business with foreign governments. He's also forbidden to do business like that with this government.

I suppose that would be a valid argument on the advertisement. I was just wondering how he was expecting to get around it and thought maybe he was going to donate everything so to not make a profit.

I understand going on vacation in the off season, but Floridas hurricane season doesn't end until November. And South Floridas tourist season never really ends. You still have to pay attention to what's happening with weather predictions from a few thousand miles away from our state. Planning a two week vacation and having to evacuate eight days in tells me you should have checked the forecast.

"I don't really think of the extremes like blizzard and hurricanes. Probably why we've been stuck in blizzards, torrential rains and hurricanes" says a lot. I can't imagine planning a vacation to other states without checking the weather predictions a bit ahead of taking off. Which hurricane was this?

A lot more sticky and humid. Hotter than south Florida. Less ocean breezes because it's not the tip of the peninsula.

It was never appropriate for the summit to be held there.

I'm sure the Democrats will find something else to throw a tantrum about so taking this out of the running for more fodder was wise.

Is there a reason they shouldn’t throw a “tantrum” when an elected president is spitting on the constitution?

How do you do it? You admit it was never appropriate based on our constitution and then in the next thought you seem to think it something the democrats did wrong.

Got it. Is that the same for family members as well?
