I’m not sure Doral is hosting anything; part of the reason the Tangerine Shiatgibbon chose the place is that it’s losing money hand over fist.

Blockquote “I thought I was doing something very good for our Country by using Trump National Doral, in Miami, for hosting the G-7 Leaders,” the president tweeted late Saturday.

And there is the problem. I honestly think that he did. It’s his property, and his properties are the bestest.

And he is such an idiot that he doesn’t even begin to comprehend why this is a problem, why any of this is a problem, why people are starting to talk about confusing stuff like “rule of law” or impeachment: because he is a baboon who has never had to deal with “laws” before or people telling him no or dealing with the results of his failures before because he had people like Rudi Giuliani who would fight his battles for him and people like Igor who would go to jail for him.

Screw him and the party he rode in on…

Acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney said of Trump:
“At the end of the day, you know, he still considers himself to be in the hospitality business”

After spending almost $2 mill redecorating the white house, I’m sure Doral would need some similar treatments…smh

Republicans are entirely capable of stopping him when a critical mass of relatively important ones make him feel like he might be unpopular. That’s all that influences this emotionally stunted narcissist.

Unfortunately, the GOP’s pack of cowards and opportunists can only achieve those numbers on his relatively low-stakes grifts.

Perhaps he considers himself that, but the underlying business mentality is that of the crooked and racist Queens property developer.

It’ll still be a complete shitshow, considering his tantrums at previous G7 summits when he wasn’t the host.

Also, Miami in June? I went to a conference in New Orleans in June maybe fifteen years ago. I love New Orleans and had a good time, but I’ve been in saunas that were cooler and less humid. If my boss at the time hadn’t pushed so strongly for me to go there’s no way I’d have gone.

Mulvaney is a fan of saying the loud part quiet and the quiet part loud, isn’t he?

I refuse to believe anyone at that high of a level can be this incompetent and not a double agent.
Please don’t burst my bubble.

Wow, he actually listened to someone else for once. What is the world coming to?

We are talking about the G7. These people would stay indoors under the best of AC and even if they did go outside…someone would be pumping the AC into the open air to cool down the space.

I’m sure Drumpf considers himself to be many things he is not. All the things, I’d wager.

Is there a tumblr or a coffee table book of Rob Beschizza political article pictures? They’re the best.

All the gold toilets in the world don’t change the fact that Trump is going to Trump. So yes a shitshow on fancy silver. Just think of when he hosted winning sports teams at the Whitehouse.

It’s a little surprising that something this blatant hasn’t happened sooner.

No doubt some are still suggesting that this was all a Clever Distraction from Something Much Worse.

Lest anyone think you’re exaggerating…

Truly the dumbest timeline.
