And now, this
Trump’s move to host the G7 at his Doral resort takes self-dealing to new levels
The corruption is becoming more and more brazen.www.vox.com
Trump reverses course and says his Florida resort won't be used for G7 summit
In an abrupt reversal Saturday night, Donald Trump tweeted that his Florida property would not be used for next year's G7 summit after the President fielded backlash from critics this week.

Democrats, Republicans, ethics experts and watchdog groups alike were understandably outraged by Trump's decision to host next year's G7 summit at his resort in Miami. Using the Presidency for personal gain is unconstitutional. In announcing that he'd changed his mind, Trump tweeted, "I thought I was doing something good for our country." In truth, what he was planning would have been good only for himself. And he couldn't make his announcement without attacking his two favorite targets:
Trump will no longer host G7 at his Doral resort due to 'Media & Democrat Crazed and Irrational Hostility'

Let's see what our nation's generals are now saying about the man who bragged that he knows "more about ISIS than the generals do":
'They are livid': Trump's withdrawal from Syria prompts rare
public criticism from current, former military officials

I think they should hold the G7 summit at Koop's condo. He could use the extra income.

Mick Mulvaney told reporters Trump made a quid pro quo offer to Ukraine. Then the news media reported that Mulvaney admitted Trump made a quid pro quo offer to Ukraine. Then Mulvaney declared there was no quid pro quo offer to Ukraine and said the news media "misunderstood" his earlier admission that Trump made a quid pro quo offer to Ukraine. Referring to his statement that Trump made a quid pro quo offer to Ukraine, Mulvaney said, "I didn't say that." This is starting to sound reminiscent of Abbott and Costello's "Who's on first" routine. Appearing today with Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday, Mulvaney continued to blame reporters for "misunderstanding" his words. Wallace showed the video of Mulvaney's admission. There was nothing to misunderstand. Bloomberg is reporting that White House advisers are making a list of potential replacements for Muvaney if he gets fired. The list includes Chris Christie and former acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker.

Chris Crispy Cream?!??! hahahaha. Wow a new mess to clean up every couple of hours. Good on chris wallace, he's been doing his best, I guess. More than other fox peeps. The Squid Pro Row scandal had to go this way right? Show these animals what they did yesterday and they won't admit it happened. Like we never went to the moon. I'd respect anyone of them just the slightest if they sat there and said "you know what Chris, you got me. I can't do this anymore. Can I hug you and forget the whole thing?" hehehehe, Veiny. heh

The Los Angeles Times said Trump's cabinet meeting quickly devolved into "71 minutes of gripes, grievances, defensiveness and bold statements about his expansive view of his own powers." Trump also falsely claimed the whistleblower "gave a false account" of the phone call with Zelensky and has been "discredited."
Trump: GOP needs to be tougher on impeachment
During his first cabinet meeting since July, the President said
Democrats are trying to hurt Republicans ahead of 2020.

Article I, Section 8, Paragraph 9 of the Constitution bars public officials from accepting cash or gifts from foreign governments without Congressional approval. Forty-four United States Presidents knew that. The 45th President, however, apparently doesn't even know we have a Constitution.

Trump said the emoluments clause is 'phony.' But it's part of the US Constitution.
The emoluments clause bars public officials from receiving gifts or cash from foreign or state governments without congressional approval.

I'm going to guess - based on the exponentially increasing frequency of your posting here - that this forum's hurtling towards lock-down.

I understand Trump's announcement took Governor Jared Polis completely by surprise.
Donald Trump: ‘We’re building a wall in Colorado’
Colorado is not positioned along the U.S. southern border, where President Donald Trump has focused his desire for a physical barrier.

Last time I checked, New Mexico was within the boundaries of the United States.
