RNC to hold winter meetings at Trump resort that was considered for G-7 summit

Source: WaPo

The Republican National Committee will hold its winter meetings at President Trump’s Doral golf course in Florida next year — awarding another of the party’s most lucrative events to the president’s private business, a party spokesman said Thursday.

The multiday event will be held in January at Trump Doral near the Miami airport, the spokesman said.

Last month, Trump briefly chose Doral to host a much larger event: next year’s Group of Seven summit of world leaders — effectively awarding a massive federal contract to himself. After bipartisan criticism, Trump canceled the event a few days later. No new site has yet been chosen for the summit.

Still, this will be the second time in two years that the GOP will hold a major meeting at the resort — a key property for Trump that has sufferedfinancial decline since Trump entered politics.

an epidemic of bed bug infestations in red states after that noxious event.

May they enjoy their substandard accommodations in a venue of decline at premium prices. They best watch out for food poisoning, super-bug infections and the sharp edges of broken, decaying things everywhere.

The perfect place for the RNC to go, really. It matches their caliber and values well.

will celebrate this. Likely all their products will sell out. I would not stay at that place if they offered it FREE. With any luck, by then he will be GONE. I look forward to the day when the name is treated with all the disrespect it deserves. He has been a blight on this country, with lots of help from despicable gop members such as Nunes, Gym Jordan and others.

For those who don't know the Pritzker family founded Hyatt.


Before the campaign JB divorced himself of all his family business, and we had our election night party at a Marriott.

That's the price you pay for loyalty.

And from what I understand, shitty food, shitty service, unlaundered sheets...

Have a good time, idiots...
