Does it bother anyone that
Posted by GeorgeWest on 8/26/19 at 6:17 pm8109
our POTUS spent time today "pitching" his Doral property as the next G7 summit site spending time in a news conference describing all the features of Doral as if he were a Mall salesman for a timeshare resort?
Why not save money and have it at Camp David which was built and renovated for such an event? Why should the US Government (and foreign governments) spend huge amounts of money on rooms/services at a Trump resort?
Whether you support the President or not, this has to bother you, right?

This is clearly why he wanted to be president.

The money is given to the treasury so it doesn’t really bother me.
The theory that trump wanted to be elected president to enrich himself makes zero sense
It would have been much easier for trump to make money in the private sector. No target on his back and no laws to worry about.
It would be like accusing a nun of choosing the convent life because she wants to have sex.

No. It doesn't bother anyone except for the little pussies with Trump Derangement Syndrome.

He probably feels comfortable and in charge at Doral.
That's exactly how we should want our leader feeling when meeting with other world leaders.
The pitch did not bother me.

Does it bother you that he doesn't take a salary?

Obama already hosted the G7 at Camp David and it's time for something different elsewhere in the United States. Not everything about America is about DC or the Northeast Corridor.
Variety is the spice of life and it's time to put Florida on the world stage.
Besides, I think it's impressive that we have a President that owns multiple venues capable of hosting such a prestigious international event. Why not put that to good use?

How does it feel to be a yuge vagina, George? Embarrassing? Are you oblivious to it?

I admire him for donating his salary.
It demeans him and his office to act like a real estate pitchman while he is on official US Government business.

I honestly could not give less of a shite. When it comes to Trump I care about only one thing, what kind of job as POTUS is he doing. Don’t care what he tweets, don’t care who’s feelings he hurts, just how he does his job.

Dude, this is really pathetic. You don't think they're going to talk about where the summit is going to be next year at the current meeting? I get that you like high taxes, regulation and socialist policies, but don't let that make you a being that only acts out of emotion.

Not particularly.

Doesn’t bother me. Secret service already has built in plans for protection at these sites, as Trump frequents those. A G7 is a target, so whatever they think they can protect, is probably what they need to go with...

Or he's showing off his property and genuinely believes that the Doral property is the best suited for it if it's not going to be at Camp David like you think it should be?
The Doral resort is only 15-25 minutes from the airport, has 700 rooms, each country would get their own villa, has a massive ballroom perfect for big meetings along with a lot of conference rooms, a very good restaurant that can whip up a hell of a meal and has great golf links and pool area for downtime.

I went back and looked at the previous locations. No other country has repeated locations.
Obama was forced to move his summit from his home town of Chicago to Camp David. I could not find a reason for the venue change.
As far as Doral, I will lose little sleep if that is selected location.
