He is the president of the United States. Grow up.


That doesn't make him God. Presidents are going to be called out on their bad behavior. That's the way it's supposed to be in a democracy.

We wouldn't exist as a nation if men like Washington had said "George III's the king. Grow up". The Founding Fathers would NOT approve of Trump's behavior. They'd expect the public to criticize him.

LMAO, he's triggered!

I think with the financial situation Doral is in, he would do it at "cost", all while looking down the road at the advertising available if it had been held there.

But I'm still the winner! They lied! They cheated! They stole the election!

What? Have you seen the gross level of disrespect this man shows everyone who doesn’t suck up to him? He’s disgusting, that’s what’s disgusting. You earn respect and he has earned nothing but contempt.

I know I want to be in Miami in the summer with it’s 100% humidity and hurricanes. No. I went there in August me year and it was miserable. Plus we were evacuated for a hurricane. Had to drive all the way to Atlanta to get a flight home.

Im not feeling this blaming tone towards the Democrats on this when this was Trump’s shady decision and it shouldn’t be enabled.

There was no good damn excuse for this.

He certainly has no respect for the Constitution. The things he was caught on tape saying about women make me wonder why any woman would consider voting for him.

I would be appalled that he actually doesn’t understand what the backlash is about and so blames the democrats and the media for it. But I’m above being surprised by his lowness anymore. Seriously? It’s gross corruption and it’s no one’s fault but his own.

What if he doesn’t make a profit and he donates everything?

Why didn't he submit the plans and cost in a contract of sorts to congress?

He would be receiving millions of dollars worth of advertising. There's no way around the fact that he would profit. And I doubt he's willing to give everyone free room service, free spa treatments, free alcohol, etc.

Plus who wants to be in Miami in August? It's the most unpleasant time of the year. It's definitely not the best place for the G7 meeting.
