House Panel To Probe Trump’s Doral G7 Plans | Talking Points Memo

Good move, Judiciary Committee, because you know who never backs down from a good fight.

Dumb-dumb will argue " Donald Trump (referring to himself) can host the G-7 at Doral if he wants because:
(a) people are saying, many people, it’s the best place, really ideal location, close to the airport
(b) he’s going to do it below cost. A hugely huge saving, which maybe you don’t know, that’s important. Below cost! Nobody can beat that.
© it’s definitely not an emulent, er, emonument, er, you know, not an issue because the profits will be donated to a really really good charity. Like the Veterans. Obama ignored them, but not Donald Trump. Donald Trump supports the Veterans…don’t you want to support the Veterans?

Couple days ago TPM reported on the Fox and Friends segment declaring their support for the Doral G7 plans. Including the quip that of course the president would have gotten legal advice on how to donate the property.

This is why reporting on Fox and Friends matters: it’s where DJT goes for his polling feedback, legal advice, morality compass, the works. And they suggested he go ahead, just find a legal way to not make a profit and there’d be no issues.

I thought then that the WH would start to back off. When the only advisors you care about tell DJT to not make any money off a thing? Tweets will be forthcoming about how the fake media blew the idea out of proportion as it was mostly “a joke.” And those anti-american Dem oversighters are wasting so much taxpayer money and time over it SAD!

Still waiting to see how ‘I was joking’ fares as a defense when this whole monstrosity of an administration goes to trial.

If he says he was only joking is he admitting the Doral is a joke in the first place?

And when it comes to job approval, only 41% of voters say Trump is doing well, while 98% of voters have to admit bedbugs are extremely effective in fulfilling their responsibilities.

Has the House investigated Mar-a-lago and ttump’s saudi friends yet? Reports have been out there for a long time.

Yes, and if they acquit at least the House did its job, and the failure to convict can be hung around the neck of the Republicans in the Senate

Do all the stock photos of Doral just show that sign with the flowers? It looks like the driveway for a SoCal funeral home.

You are much too practical. I think he’s only been there maybe 2 times, can’t find an exact count. Obama, on the other hand, went 35 times.

I agree. It seems as though many people are expecting a repeat of the Clinton impeachment fiasco; the difference being that the charges were weak and people actually liked Clinton. “The Current Occupant”? Only his “base” loves him.

Wasn’t there a big stink about the Clintons and the Lincoln Bedroom and donations to their foundation?

If Trump had any class at all, this would be his motto:

Charge 'em for the lice, extra for the mice
Two percent for looking in the mirror twice
Here a little slice, there a little cut
Three percent for sleeping with the window shut

O/T (sort of):
Did anyone else see this? Is he trying to get booted and/or make himself unelectable?
ETA: I know, he really is/should be unelectable, but we’ve been down this rabbit hole for so long now… < ssiigghh >

Well, there’s no way that will become policy before a lawsuit forces an preliminary injunction (or whatever the proper legal term is). We should never allow anyone under our jurisdiction to become countryless.
