So interesting that, when I announced Trump National Doral in Miami would be used for the hosting of the G-7, and then rescinded due to Do Nothing Democrat/Fake News Anger, very few in Media mentioned that NO PROFITS would be taken, or would be given FREE, if legally permissible!

(18,837 posts)...it's like he's already on trial, trying to convince some invisible jury, re-tweeting crap from Jesse Watters and Jeanine Pirro and all of the usual suspects. He's just howling in pain.
'tis a pity. All of this could have been prevented by not taking that ride down the golden escalator. No scrutiny, beyond what he'd experienced as a reality TV star and failed casino / real estate "tycoon."

(115,691 posts)Angela Merkel owned a resort in the Bavarian Alps, and when it was Germany's turn to host the conference, she designated her resort as the venue. He'd have had a cow, that's what.

(20,188 posts)it says the president cannot receive ANYTHING of significant value. Summer in Florida is LOW SEASON for golf resorts in Florida. I doubt that Doral even has half its rooms booked in the summer normally.. So even if Trump used it for the G-7 "at cost", he would benefit because normally he's LOSING MONEY in the summer.
Then there's that little problem of hurricane season.

(3,131 posts)I dont believe for a second that he wouldnt charge for rooms and conference rooms but lets not forget the other ways to grift. Others mentioned renovations for security.
Theres lots of profit in food, drinks, and especially golf. He gouges us every weekend renting golf carts to the secret service.
Then there has to be a scheme to charge rich members/donors/associates for access to g7 attendees
And thats just what l come up with. He does this kind of grift as natural as we breathe

Of course a $300 room, will be billed at $500, and claimed they were worth $750/night.
And since he wanted to give each delegation their own building, all rooms would be booked and billed accordingly.
