WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump's suggestion that his Miami golf resort host next year's Group of Seven summit became a reality Thursday, sparking an outcry from critics who called it the most blatant example yet of him using the power of his office to boost his business empire.
"There are folks who will never get over the fact that it's a Trump property, but we're still going to go there," acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney said in announcing Trump National Doral as host. "It's not the only place. It's the best place."
Mulvaney said the Doral was picked for its location and amenities, and the president will not profit because the resort will be booked "at cost." But the decision takes Trump's apparent conflicts of interest to a new level because, unlike foreign dignitaries who can choose to stay at his Washington hotel, they will have no choice but to spend money at his resort during the June 10-12 summit.
According to what's above, it is US government that took up Trump's suggestion
to hold 2 day shinding for reasons stated therein.

Whatever "at cost" fees may be, I expect Trump handing it over to charity tending to
DNC geriatrics in hospices while in waiting mode to expire in dignity.
Cheers,
