White House selects 'perfect' location for G-7 meeting: Trump National Doral in Miami
The White House announced on Thursday that next year’s G-7 summit will be held at a resort hotel the president owns near Miami, the Trump National Doral, raising concerns that he would personally profit from the presidency.
The Emoluments Clause of the Constitution prohibits government officials from receiving gifts or payments from foreign governments, who would be subsidizing the stays of their diplomats at the three-day-long meeting in June.
“Given the potential consequences the president is facing for abusing the presidency for his own gain, we would have thought he would steer clear of blatant corruption at least temporarily,” Noah Bookbinder, executive director of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, or CREW, said in a a statement. “Instead he has doubled down on it. The president is now officially using the power of his office to help prop up his struggling golf business. There appears to be no bottom to President Trump’s corruption.”
“Holding the G-7 at a Trump property is one of the most foolish, unseemly things the [White House] could do,” tweeted Ari Fleischer, former press secretary for President George W. Bush. “The President enjoys waiving red flags in front of bulls, but this fight isn’t worth it.”
He literally does not give a fukk
