President Trump on Saturday said he would no longer host next year's Group of Seven (G-7) summit at his Doral resort after intense backlash from Democrats, ethics watchdogs and some Republican lawmakers.
The reversal came two days after the White House announced that Trump National Doral near Miami would host the gathering of world leaders next June. The decision was widely panned by critics who viewed it as a brazen move for the president to enrich his family brand.
Trump tweeted Sunday night, "Thought I was doing something very good for our Country by using Trump National Doral, in Miami, for hosting the G-7 Leaders," boasting of the property's proximity to major airports and its physical spaces.
"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!" Trump tweeted.
About 35 minutes later, Trump followed up with a tweet announcing the venue would be changed.
"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," Trump tweeted. "We will begin the search for another site, including the possibility of Camp David, immediately. Thank you!"

Yeah, this doesn't make any sense to me.

I nominate Camp David. They still have all that food left over from the Taliban 9/11 Summit that never happened.

good comment:
"Let’s recap: Congressional GOP spent an entire week defending the president for something that was clearly unethical & very probably unconstitutional all for no reason b/c Trump realized he had to fold.
Don’t forget most Rs were totally fine with it. Lesson: don’t defend Trump!"

This ^ His administration will probably pick a very dumpy place so after the event they can crow that it should have been at Doral.

The original plan was to hold it in Greenland...

My impression is Camp David about a half the size needed to hold a G7 meeting. It might be an even more ridiculous suggestion than Doral if it needs a huge expansion. Is Cheeto doing this as a way to ruin Camp David for future presidents?

These are supposed to be leaders of the world economy, when did they become potentiates in need of palatial surroundings to reinforce their worth and power?
