Well, so much for that. On Oct. 17, White House Chief of Staff and Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney announced that the U.S. will be hosting the G7 in 2020 at the Trump Doral Resort in Miami, Fla.—and President Donald Trump’s opponents in the White House press corps were apoplectic, with largely fallacious accusations of enriching himself or the Trump brand from his businesses. By Oct. 19, President Trump had cancelled the idea, writing on Twitter, “based on both Media & Democrat Crazed and Irrational Hostility, we will no longer consider Trump National Doral, Miami, as the Host Site for the G-7 in 2020. We will begin the search for another site, including the possibility of Camp David, immediately. Thank you!” But it might not have been such a big deal in the first place. Besides saving taxpayer money, Presidents including FDR, Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush and most recently Donald Trump have all routinely hosted foreign leaders on their private properties while in office. What do you think?
