Trump threw a fit while announcing that he was not going forward with his corrupt and illegal scheme to award the G7 to a golf club that he owns.
Trump tweeted:
I thought I was doing something very good for our Country by using Trump National Doral, in Miami, for hosting the G-7 Leaders. It is big, grand, on hundreds of acres, next to MIAMI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, has tremendous ballrooms & meeting rooms, and each delegation would have…

…..its own 50 to 70 unit building. Would set up better than other alternatives. 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!

….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!

The American people certainly are “irrationally hostile” to crime and corruption from the President Of The United States. In Trump’s entire tantrum, the president never said that a property that he owns should never have been suggested as a venue for a summit. Trump never admitted that was he was trying to do was both improper and illegal.
Trump wasn’t going to give the country his club to use for free. The Trump Organization said that the hotel rooms would be provided “at cost,” but would not specify what the cost was.
Donald Trump is upset because the G7 was going to be a big financial windfall for his business. The G7 was Trump’s last big score before losing the White House, and thanks to public outrage and political pushback at least one Trump corruption con has been thwarted.
