President Trump has awarded the 2020 G-7 Summit of world leaders to his own private company, scheduling the summit for June at his Trump Doral golf resort outside Miami, the White House announced on Thursday.
That decision is without precedent in modern American history: the president used his public office to direct a massive contract to himself. The G-7 Summit draws hundreds of diplomats, journalists and security personnel, and provides a worldwide spotlight.
The Doral club is a major part of Trump’s portfolio: it provides him more revenue than any other hotel or golf club, and he took out $125 million in loans to buy it.
But, in recent years, this keystone property has fallen into steep decline, with profits falling 69 percent in three years. An expert hired by the Trump Organization blamed the drop on Trump’s politicized brand.

The resort will only be charging costs, so no profit will be made. This will save the tax payers money.

Thom, you're slipping. You don't have to win every battle to win the war. Might be a smart move to actually be objective from time to time.

Wow, Thom, you're right. How could anyone have suspected any kind of impropriety in this situation? Not only is Trump NOT benefiting from this, he's doing it out of a sense of altruism to save some money. Boy, you sure do have a good grasp on reality...

“President Donald Trump's real estate business reported different financial figures for two of his Manhattan properties to lenders than to New York tax authorities, according to documents obtained by ProPublica.
The different sets of numbers on expenses, profits and occupancy figures resulted in the two buildings appearing more lucrative to lenders and less so to city officials assessing property taxes, ProPublica found in an investigation published Wednesday. ProPublica obtained the property tax documents through the state of New York's Freedom of Information Act law and loan records after Trump's lender sold the debt on the properties, making them public.” >>

The Doral in June usually has a 38% occupancy. Miami in summer isn’t easy to sell. With the G7 there, the remaining 62% will be sold. No $$$ to Trump? Gimme a break. Unconstitutional Emoluments from all 7 countries. Plus Russia if Trump invites Putin to “observe.” - Laurence Tribe
Again, it's blood on your hands. Keep pretending.

Yep, it costs $7.00 for a glass of coca cola and $125.00 for a 10 oz shell steak.
Sometime's I'm not sure who's worse...the criminal or those that can't even grasp how criminals work.

>Admiral William McRaven
>Admiral William McRaven penned a shocking op-ed in The New York Times Thursday declaring that the United States is clearly under attack by our own president.
The former commander of US Special Operations Command explained that if an enemy wants to destroy their other side, they do so from “within and without.” He meant that Trump is trying to undermine law enforcement, the Department of Justice, the State Department as well as a series of other American institutions.

The GOP hates America.
America = no religion ...that's BAD. Jeebus GOOD!
America = no discrimination...that's BAD! Slaves/serfs/minimum wage workers are GOOD!
The GOP = the Confederacy, pretty much.
Make America Great Again, like it was in Alabama in 1830.
They finally won, by committing treason with Russia, home of the idiotic serfs (education is BAD, BAD, BAD).
They managed to put a lunatic moron shitgibbon in the White House.
Funny as fuck to watch the libtards freak out when we destroy the USA.
