Emoluments

Trump's Doral resort to host next G-7 summit, as White House defends choice

It's over Trumpsters. He's done it this time. Your orange god will die in prison. Libs might act like they want to shred the Constituion, which they probably do, but not the sacred emoluments clause. Thankfully the Democrat party is the last vestige of honor and integrity we have left in this country and would never tolerate a politician who gains financially from his/her/their/its/xi/zir/ze office. Impeach!

So are we now ok with the president directly using his office to make money? Just curious

Name the last one that didn't?

This blatantly? Not sure I can

Jimmy Carter?

Says it’s being done at cost so how does he make money?

 

[utvolpj]

Says it’s being done at cost so how does he make money?

Of course it is

I guess they will receive no advertising of any sort and any return visits are purely coincidental

The Russians Ukrainians

Is it anymore blatant than getting 7 figure book advances for them and their wife, sending the first lady out for paid speeches?

 

[NorthDallas40]

I wish he wouldn’t do this stuff it just adds easy ammo to the screechers regardless of whether it’s at cost or not. At this point like several other things it’s just a pissing contest between him and the lib leadership and another chance for him to give them the finger and trigger their asses. And he will not pass that up.

But Trump is different! Right?

Do they also own the publisher?

I know they truly had an exhaustive search and it just ended up that Doral was the best spot in this country to hold it. No way the owner had a hand in it and everything was above board. It's the way he operates and this is clearly just a one off that should be dismissed.

Yes now people will know about a golf resort that has been on the PGA tour for most of its existence.

I don't know about you all but I normally pick resorts on whether they've hosted G7 summits or not.

Checking in.... excuse me, is the room Angela Merkel stayed in available? Can you tell housekeeping not to disturb me tonight? Thx

Remember to take a good pair of tweezers to retrieve any of her hair you can find in the shower drain. Those go for big bucks on eBay.

Do you think foreign leaders follow the PGA?

 

[Septic]

Name the last one that didn't?

On one hand, "bbbuuuutttt HUNTER AND JOE BIDEN!!!"

On the other "this is normal, get over it"

Good stuff man, good stuff.

 

[DancingOutlaw]

Do you think foreign leaders follow the PGA?

So who’s the advertising for? Sorry I’m just confused by your line of thinking that involved mostly conjecture and hypotheticals.

No, and the President should not do things like this. It gives the appearance of impropriety whether it is or not.

 

[hog88]

Of course.

People who don't have a clue about a random PGA event

 

[Septic]

You're right, he doesn't g.a.s. about that appearance at this point - this isn't going to move the needle with his supporters and he knows it. He'll be stuffing his pockets until the day he leaves the Oval Office.

Who has done that while in office?

 

[Sandman 423]

On one hand, "bbbuuuutttt HUNTER AND JOE BIDEN!!!"

On the other "this is normal, get over it"

Good stuff man, good stuff.

I'm just thankful that we live in a good economy with no wars where Dems have the time to sit around and whine about G7 summit locations
