Trump claimed the decision to host the G7 at his luxury Florida resort wasn't about PR, because he already gets 'more promotion than any human being that's ever lived'

1 hour ago


President Trump, in remarks at a Cabinet meeting Monday, hit back at critics who had claimed he had sought to benefit from the publicity of using his his golf resort in Doral, Florida, to host the G7.
"They say, 'Oh, you get promotion.' You don't think I get enough promotion? I get more promotion than any human being that's ever lived," Trump said. "I don't need promotion."
Despite his argument, Trump nonetheless scrapped his plan to host the summit there over the weekend, after from within his own party......................



.....................According to The New York Times, it was when moderate members of his own party said that they could not defend the decision that Trump announced that a different venue was being sought.

Publicly Trump blamed the reversal on "crazed and irrational" hostility from Democrats and the media. ..................................

1. Hear that "Jesus Christ"? What say ye, RW fundies?

Good heavens (pardon the pun)

[Dem2theMax]

8. My first thought as well.

When are the men in the white coats going to show up, and escort the orange one to a rubber room?

[Maeve]

2. To be fair, his name associated with Doral is probably why its business has declined

Which, in itself, is also fair.

That and the bedbugs. And the fact that it is a crappy course. And the decor is tacky.

3. "Luxury"?

WTF

t-rump wanted the American taxpayers to pay for fixing the property.

7. Not just fixing the property -- upgrading it.

Why stop with a coat of paint when you can put gold fixtures in the bathrooms, top of the line carpet everywhere, expensive lighting fixtures, all new landscaping (count on the entire grounds to be dug up and replanted with expensive foliage), and anything else that will be seen by the public being removed and replaced, all paid for by the American taxpayer, while contractors get the patented Trump royal shaft.

4. There are two lessons to be learned from this

1) republicans can hold Trump in check if they want to.

2) they generally don't want to.

When elections roll around - even (perhaps especially) if Trump has gone through impeachment. Do not forget - and do not let others forget - that republicans throughout congress and senate supported fraudulent elections, appointments to federal departments or ambassadorships based on party contributions. The cruel and barbaric treatment of refugees and migrants. The abandonment of foreign allies. Emoluments, attaching self serving conditions to already granted congressional funding. - the list is endless.

They gave Trump their blessing. They ignored the laws and constitutions, they waived morals and accepted criminal behaviour by both Trump and his inner circle of crooks and liars.

Denouncing Trump when they only fear for the safety and comfort of their own positions is not honourable.

5. Impeachment will help Russiapublicans survive the primaries.

And then get destroyed in the general election.

6. T-rump argues like a playground bully.

"MY ball is the biggest and best ball and MY rules are the best. We will play by MY rules or I will take MY biggest and best ball and go home."

[truthisfreedom]

9. He's admitting that he uses his presidency for personal gain all of the time,

When in actuality he should never be using it to promote his personal businesses.

[Skittles]

10. Trump literally sees himself as the greatest person who has ever lived

he is a sick, SICK man
