We didn't mention it here, but for a while, Trump was planning on hosting the G7 summit at one of his own hotels, the Trump Doral.
Obviously, this goes against the restrictions of being President and having your own business interests, something Trump has ignored, but when even Fox News commented on it, he backed down, in his usual way:
"So interesting that, when I announced Trump National Doral in Miami would be used for the hosting of the G-7, and then rescinded due to Do Nothing Democrat/Fake News Anger, very few in Media mentioned that NO PROFITS would be taken, or would be given FREE, if legally permissible!
....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!"
When Jimmy Carter became President, he put control of his peanut farm into a blind trust to avoid a conflict of interest.
It's amazing what Trump will do to further his business (or reduce his handicap) rather than better the country, from hosting the G7, to opening golf courses to forcing Air Force staff to detour and stay at his hotels.
I'm also enjoying:
“I’m going to be working for you, I’m not going to have time to go play golf”
TRUMP GOLF COUNT: 223*
Cost to Taxpayer: About $110,000,000
*Daytime visits to golf clubs since inauguration, with evidence of playing golf on at least 104 visits. Our last recorded outing was on October 13, 2019.
