Well, there goes that lead balloon.
President Donald Trump announced on Saturday night via Twitter that next year’s G-7 won’t be held at his Trump National Doral resort after all.
Trump complained that he thought he was “doing something very good” by using his own resort to host the summit, but the “Hostile Media and their Democratic Partners” had gone “CRAZY” over the idea.
“Therefore, based on both Media & Democrat Crazed and Irrational Hostility, we will no longer consider Trump National Doral, Miami, as the Host Site for the G-7 in 2020,” he tweeted.
…..its own 50 to 70 unit building. Would set up better than other alternatives. I announced that I would be willing to do it at NO PROFIT or, if legally permissible, at ZERO COST to the USA. But, as usual, the Hostile Media & their Democrat Partners went CRAZY!

….Therefore, based on both Media & Democrat Crazed and Irrational Hostility, we will no longer consider Trump National Doral, Miami, as the Host Site for the G-7 in 2020. We will begin the search for another site, including the possibility of Camp David, immediately. Thank you!

Acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney announced last week that the G-7 summit would be held at the President’s resort in Doral, Florida.
The decision was met with widespread criticism over Trump blatantly using the G-7 to promote and raise profits for his own property. The administration tried to mitigate the controversy by claiming the resort would only charge “at cost.”
Must have gotten a better offer from Uncle Vladdy…
Wait until he finds out Obama hosted the G7 at Camp David.
I love drinking bedbug tears!
Very specific, thus leaving open lots of other possibilities, of course.
He just doesn’t “do” learning, does he?
The G-7 will now be held in the now emptying Trump Tower where there are many Russian occupants.
