They are wrong.
It would just be better to hold it somewhere else and then there would be no conflict of interest.
The same people who embrace Socialism?
Thatâs a good joke.
Trump wanted to host the summit in the Lincoln bedroom but he couldnât because the Clintons have it booked till 2025.
ITs even worse then that. âAt costâ means they arent losing money. Take a look - This resort in June is always the lowest revenue. Even in years where the resort was profitable, June operated at a loss.
If I buy season tickets for baseball every year and sell my weekend tickets for profit and then my week day tickets for a loss - but then one year -I arrange all the weekday tickets to be sold âat costâ - it increased my profit for the year since I normally take a loss for some games.
Most resorts in FL (and this one is no different) take a loss in June. Because he directed the G7 to be held there -They will have less of a loss and increase their yearly profits.
Ouch!
#GOP Group Uses Trumpâs Own Words On Corruption Against Him In Searing Fox News Ad
The 67-second ad will air on Fox News in the Washington, D.C., area on Monday during the widely watched morning show âFox & Friends.â It will also appear on the conservative networkâs digital platforms
.
âWhile candidate Trump was running for president he promised to drain the swamp and tackle corruption,â said Sarah Longwell, the executive director of Republicans for the Rule of Law.
âInstead he is using the U.S. government and taxpayer money to enrich himself and his family,â Longwell added. âHolding the G-7 at a Trump property is inappropriate and Republicans should condemn the presidentâs continued efforts to use the office of the presidency for his personal enrichment.â

The emoluments clause makes no exception for âat costââŚ
No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.
He needs the consent of congressâŚ
That kind of pedestrian slavishness to law serves only those who benefit from bureaucracy.
Pedestrian slavishness to law can also get you removed from officeâŚ

The act of being elected was enough for the Washington Post to call for his impea hment a half hour after being inaugurated.
Fat donald shouldâve immediately been impeached after the Helsinki fiasco.

What? That was a HUGE success? Libs were totally triggered by that.
That would have been a great move for the USA.
Only our enemies thought otherwise.
Itâs being done at cost which means NO PROFIT which also means itâs going to be less expensive then if it was held anywhere else.

Sure it is. According to Trump, of course. And theyâre not releasing how the WH made that decision becauseâŚreasons.
It doesnât have to be at profit for there to be a huge conflict. Itâs immediately raised the profile of Trumps property for one. Big feather in the cap for that business.
You donât have to defend everything he does.
What is the cost to hold it at Camp David? Whether there is a profit or not is irrelevant.
No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.

As has already been pointed out - Trumpâs resort (like every other resort in Florida) normally losses money in the summer. By seeking these rooms âat costâ, the hotel is still making more money than they would have otherwise.
As for your second claim - that it will be âless expensiveâ - please provide some evidence to support.
Which part of the Emoluments Clause donât you get?
âNo Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign Stateâ
