Trump was embarrassed yesterday, so....

today he comes out with a new distraction about the G7 meeting news. Just wonder if the news is a lie and that the members of the G7 will allow to happen due to safety concerns? That would be a huge concern for me!

on how unseemly it is for a world leader to select a conference location which would benefit them personally. It is what failing and ailed democracies do, not modern democracies. For this reason they will not participate in the conference. Let Trump invite his totalitarian buddies.

afterwards. I strongly hope the G7 countries boycott this gathering on the basis alone that climate change won't be discussed. That's an insult that can't be ignored.

website and it is like yesterday never happened. They should have just monitored the press conference. Any other time they won’t give a press conference. Only when they want to change the news cycle.

6. I thought Doral was on the verge of bankruptcy. I would wait to hear from the G7 people before
