Allegations of bed bugs at Trump's Doral resort swarm Twitter (the real reason he cancelled G7)

It sure would hurt business if these stories persist!

The hashtag #BedBugSummit trended on Twitter Friday due to allegations of past infestation at President Trump’s resort in Doral, Fla. The news resurfaced following the announcement that the U.S. will host next year’s Group of Seven (G-7) summit at the Trump property.

In the day after White House acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney told reporters that the 2020 G-7 summit would take place at Trump National Doral, nearly 30,000 tweets had been sent using the hashtag.

Holly Figueroa O’Reilly, a songwriter and founder of the Blue Wave Crowdsource — an organization that aims to support Democratic candidates — tweeted a January 2017 Miami Herald article covering a lawsuit against Trump Doral over bedbugs.

"Bring the leaders of the free world to Doral, he said. What could go wrong, he said," she tweeted.

1. Don't overlook one other important aspect of this

Not to put a fine point on it, but Trump backed down from something he really wanted to do. This wasn't some I'd-like-to-do-something-but-it's-okay-if-I-don't. He really wanted to put this show on at his property, he got told no, and he has to like it.

3. F-ing hilarious!!!

I don't know about you guys, but I freak the f*ck out when I see any reference to bedbugs (or any bugs) at a resort or hotel. If any review, from any point in history, mentions that word, my immediate thought is, "NEXT!!!"

5. People were literally burning down their houses during that huge outbreak

The notion of blood suckers just waiting for people to fall asleep is daunting, no less the fact that they can hide in nearly every device in one's home.
