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.
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!
“we will no longer consider Trump National Doral, Miami, as the Host Site for the G-7 in 2020,” he tweeted.
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.
This is a serious blow to him. He’s had a very bad couple of weeks. He’s looking like a loser.
It’s a shame, since the President is in the hospitality business and he just wanted to put on a great show. He just cannot catch a break.
Just waiting for Melania to serve him with divorce papers. Anyone who arrived on an Einstein visa can certainly calculate the arc of the orange trajectory.
Just use the second location on the list of “at least ten other sites” that were considered for the G-7… Mick did say that other sites had been considered… didn’t he?
When I hear that from the Republican Senate …
What he did not say is that they were all Trump properties …
He’s pushing Camp David because he thinks it’s the only alternate facility that will look bad next to Doral. I don’t think it was even on the list.
Awwwwwwww…poor whiny baby doesn’t get his way. Such a tragedy.
(If he thinks revenues dropping by 70% over two years is bad, imagine what it’s gonna be like after impeachment and imprisonment. I smell some bankruptcies in the wind.
Is it wrong that I am smiling about this?)
Just saw this on twitter. Good grief. Mulvaney is stupid and clueless.
He also considers presidentin’ to be a part-time job, obviously.
I wonder what Mitch had to threaten him with to get him to walk this back? Did Mitch use the “I” word? In addition to being a serious blow to Trump’s ego, my bet is that this episode has done more harm to Trump’s standing with the GOP, that just about anything else he’s done, including putting kids in cages and allowing genocide to be loosed among the Kurds.
What list?
Surprise! There WILL be a summit of at Doral… of the G-8!
I read last night that some theoretical list included 1 place in Hawaii and 2 in Utah. Kind of a long haul from Europe. Utah? Really?
ETA: from the NYT
Mr. Mulvaney said the idea for the Doral was thought up in the White House dining room. Still, Mr. Mulvaney said aides created a short list of about a dozen sites, and narrowed it down to three possibilities in Hawaii and Utah.
Local officials in those states said they were never notified that the White House had been scouting for venues for a major event. A spokeswoman for David Ige, the Democratic governor of Hawaii, said officials determined that the White House had been looking for locations only after the fact.
OK, never mind, how about if he takes all the gold in Fort Knox and piles it up in the lobby of Trump Tower, where it would fit the decor, so people can come by and admire it and feel good about America? It would be guarded by his security people, of course. Who could object to that?
Sigh. In other news, he thinks his Secretary of Defense is named “Esperanto,” and we’ve secured the Oil. Nobody knows what Oil he’s talking about.
