FILE - This June 2, 2017, file image made from video shows the Trump National Doral in Doral, Fla. President Donald Trump said on Twitter on Saturday, Oct. 19, 2019, he is reversing his plan to hold the next Group of Seven world leaders' meeting at his Doral, Florida, golf resort.
Accused of using the presidency to enrich himself by hosting the international summit at a private resort owned by his family, Trump announced a rare backtrack Saturday night. Trump had been the first administration official to publicly float the selection of his property to host the summit when in August he mentioned it was on the short-list and praised its facilities and proximity to Miami’s international airport.
Enriching himself would be accepting the POTUS salary. How much is it going to cost the US taxpayers to rent out another venue?
Keep chasing that laser, dummies.
Lol , made you look !
What’s different between this and having foreign govts, or our govt, spending money at his other properties? Get him out off office and into jail. He’s a crook. Nothing more. Don’t believe the bs.
Wow stupid people who don’t like free!
Not rare. Trump backs off of many issues of substance. He rolls over in foreign policy. He reverses course repeatedly on domestic policy. Don't let his gaslighting attempts fool you into thinking he has any conviction other than Trump first policies.
Because it would be embarrassing (understatement) for Doral to host G7 summit with Pence as new President
As long as the lefts feeling aren't hurt is the main goal. Their like your little kids.
The only reason I can see Trump backing down is he was told by someone close that he would be impeached AND convicted of violating the Emoluments clause.
Can he still be impeached for the attempt? Not that it's necessary, but he does deserve it.
He is up to something else, count on it..
Was not a plan! They were LOOKING INTO THE POSSIBILITY....🤬🤬🤬🤡🤡🤡
So ... problem with Trump “enriching himself”. You must be furious with Palosi, Sanders, Biden, and Especially Clinton’s. Selling Uranium to Russians ringing any bells Hypocrite bastard Liberals!!!
So libs have a prob with POTUS “enriching himself” but no problem with Biden mega enriching his son. Trump is a billionaire. Would not have profited on G-7 summit. He did however want that Trump brand in your face.
He’s been doing that since day 1...when’s the last time he donated the president salary and bragged about it?
Wrong based on ridiculous backlash decided to look for a different site.
he heard it had been BUGGED !
& he will exact his revenge by scheduling G7 at a place which will cost the taxpayers monstrous amounts of $$...& when we scream he will snidely say,'Why are u screaming abt this? This is what u wanted'. Cruel. Sadistic. Perfectly crafted strategies by which 2 punish his critics.
Rare? He literally backtracks whenever it gets tough.🙄
Knew this would happen. I think he just threw it out there to watch the ensuing circus!
Uh, Trump IS using the presidency to enrich himself. This was just the latest example.
First of all Donna, Trumps net worth has decreased since being elected, he will probably be the first President to make a financial sacrifice being in office rather than profiting from being in office, public service not for personal gain, it’s for the good of all.
Sad he canceled realDonaldTrump
He backtracks everything
Making enough from his friends market investments rising after his policy announcements
Now that Trump has cancelled the G-7 meeting at the Doral what will the wingnuts on the left have to come up with to criticize him for?
And just like that the pricetag just tripled. Enjoy paying for the political favor he will bestow to someone for hosting the meeting
Enough of the double standard! It's interesting to consider that if the Dems suggested using Trump's property at no cost to the USA, no profit to him, NO ONE would complain. Do Dems understand the concept of NO COST? Aren't Dems the party of FREE STUFF? Such hypocrites!
This might have something to do with his change of venue?...:)
On to a nice Russian “immigrant“ owned shell company resort ........
Wow caved to THE CRAZED MEDIA ....
He just realized HE COULDN'T GET AWAY WITH IT. Too many BEDBUGS!!
And just like that, realDonaldTrump changed the news cycle. 😅
Does it get any clearer than this?
trump says he will make no money but will say millions to the tax payers and everyone is in a uproar so trump says ok i will not host it for free and we will pay millions for it now ppl are like he changes all the time well he changes his story because he does listen to the ppl
Did he really think anyone, on the left or right was going be ok with him doing this at one of his own hotels?!?
We have reach the point anything that would highlight America in a positive light is automatically rejected if thought up by President Trump. As stated Doral is fantastic property with multiple amenities. It a shame Hate reigns supreme.
dan_bernstein Why the need to open another search? There were supposedly 10 other sites considered, so move to the second place finisher. Answer: There was no original search.
It would have been a good place. Maybe they can hold it at Nancy’s house!
So what? People are not allowed to back track, to reconsider things. Sheesh! People don't even want the president to sneeze.
Too late. Impeachment is coming!
Rare?
Phuck Donald Trump
Poor Mulvaney. He was put out as a trial balloon and ended up plummeting to the ground. No one tried to shield him from the shots that took him down, nor is anyone coming to his defense, now
Deschedule420 They still need to add this to his impeachable offenses
Yeah! Come on son
He should restore it to its former dignity and hold it at Chuck-E-Cheese.
So we could save our taxpayer but Democrats are really dumb...so nevermind...
MarkSKrikorian Why does he need to enrich himself? Trump is already rich and has been for decades.
The real reason? BedBugSummit
Trump, using the presidency to enrich himself? Surely not 😎
On to the next faux media-outrage!!
Nothing like bending the truth to fit your narrative...
Trump’s plan for G7Doral was an outright violation of the emoluments clause. He backed down after near universal comdemnation, although some GOP pols recklessly thought it was ok. Trump will continue to push boundaries & see what he can get away with. After all, GOP let him.
It’s not a rare backtrack. He does that all the time- put out an idea that goes too far, sees the response, and then pulls back.
He backtracks often without ever actually admitting a mistake
SOCIOPATHS have no capacity to recognize boundaries/ethics/improprieties. As long as the UGLY orange light bulb subhuman is there ....he will push beyond what NORMAL people see as decent/moral! Orange man has some SERIOUS PSYCHOLOGICAL ISSUES!
He is
You left out the ‘again’ at the end
The choice would have been good for this country, saved enormous funds and secured a wonderful presentation to the world but as usual the Dems and their lackies exert their venomous poison over every good thing for this country. They are evil. They are all the EnemyOfThePeople
Those weren’t accusations they were facts if doral was the spot. Bad politics and bad ethics. At least he sees light here. Now same for the Kurds
Yes because of the whiney Dems! snowflakes
What 'rare backtrack ' ? This Administration has been back tracking from day ONE!
Psychopaths don’t “backtrack”, instead they discover a more self-serving outcome. They’re COMPLETELY self-centered and make decisions to benefit THEMSELVES only. Public criticism will not change a psychopaths mind, they enjoy that. Something more threatening changed his mind.
Should of never considered one of his properties. Bad idea and by the way, illegal.
They weren’t accusations. They were facts. A rare backtrack? He’s a bully. A coward. He backtracks all the time.
Probably figured out that this would somehow end up exposing his finances.. TrumptheTraitor
smdh how many more times are you all in the media going to allow Trump to set you up, you take the bait every time every damn time you fall for it............
scottEweinberg This headline blows goats. Had drawn accusations of? How about, “Was using his own resort to enrich himself, a violation of the United States Constitution.” That’s not hard, .
RARE BACKTRACK Have you NEVER listened to this guy?
And, he’s taking credit for not breaking the law and adding another offense to his list.
MarkSKrikorian Called it. Was the only thing to be done.
Only because he was.
trump is just playing with the American people....and his minions believe any nonsense he says. The most corrupt and inept president this country ever had needs to go. GoBlue TrumpCorruption
Enrich himself? You think?
The negative publicity for Doral Country Club--bedbugs etc.--is going to make the financial situation there even worse.
Duhhhh
I thought it was the ONLY acceptable place after an exhaustive nation wide search. Are we having it in outer space now? If so is space force going to be there?
MarkSKrikorian Trumps donates his entire presidential salary to charity, I hightly doubt he cares about this. lol
The embarrassment would have been worst if foreign leaders decided to stay elsewhere.
“A rare backtrack.” This is what constitutes “reporting” today. Did any of you call Miami Dade authorities to ask if they had been consulted for the required planning for this? Check on the story at all? Of course not. This was a troll, and you all fell for it, as always.
G-7 World Leaders, Boycott 2020 Summit Location, TRUMP® NATIONAL DORAL MIAMI, FLORIDA 33178
Gee ya don’t say?!
He said they could hold it there free of charge. FakeNews FakeNewsMedia
Rare in that enough people called him out to actually MAKE him backtrack just enough so they get off his back.
The Dems and AP r the biggest 👶 babies
There’s always Camp David ...or perhaps Greenbriar which would cost a lot.
If you didn’t know about Trump National Doral.. you do now! You got played.. great marketing!
Not to get rich!.. Just to be able to pay his bills!
G-7 meetings can attract protests for just being on earth.That location was not a good idea for other reasons as well.
Rare? You know what would be interesting? A story on all the times he’s backtracked because his vaunted instincts are so very bad.
People you are a new kind of stupid! This was going to save tax payers money but since you listen to the lame street media you sheep don't get it!
Communist bellyaching should never be rewarded. Like spoiled children they should be sent to bed with no dinner.
He acts like he is doing America a favor by using tax payers $$$ to enrich himself. The nerve😱😠
Really enriching himself doesn’t take a salary donates it . His business are losing money and his family not doing any foreign business. Probably down millions But look at Congress all their children and family are making money from lobbying and being on company boards,
If the problem was the media and Democrats, he wouldn't have backed down. His own party wasn't backing this blatant abuse of his office.
A rising autocrat will deploy SPECTACLE with outrage after outrage to exhaust the good people of the land. So saith Timothy Snyder, Yale holocaust historian. SPECTACLE to distract from Sondland testimony. A total con.
You need to re write this 'backtrack' thing. Everyone knows he does this kind of thing all the time. Whoever wrote this is def a trump supporter.
This is exactly the result we wanted. Let's consider it a win and move on. There's bigger things to focus on now.
Not rare
Rare indeed. I seem to recall some sort of structure along our southern border, a wall if you will, that would be paid for by another country.
They find more bedbugs?
Is it still an accusation if it’s true?
Which Trump property will get it next!
Well it’s actually illegal so...
Maybe he can have the Trump water brought in for the tables....
Good move by him but the fact of the matter is it’s a joke to say that one long weekend of meetings is going to enrich himself when that hotel is booked full-time.
Yeah. Zero profit. The idiot Left and their lapdogs, the MSM, don’t understand that concept. Perfect venue for the event, but now it should be held in some Dem shit**le like Baltimore, or San Fran if they pass out 💩 and syringe maps.
Trump has lost money being president, unlike Obummer and Clinton.
dan_bernstein I’m shocked he decided not to hold it there, but his stated reason for doing so renewed my belief in his morals
Announcing the Doral drew attention off Ukraine for awhile. Can't wait to see what's up Trumps sleeves next!
Siri define “rare”
This just pisses him off to no end. He’ll change his mind again.
what about bedbug minster?
realDonaldTrump is like a warlord who keeps his adversaries distracted so that he could get away with major foreign policy blunders, greenlighting Turkey's offense, cajoling with ISIS through RTErdogan, and justifying ethnic cleansing of Kurds ChrisVanHollen SpeakerPelosi
It was for security reasons. Because thanks to the Mainstream Media, every liberal who wasn't already a psychopath is now.
Rare? He backtracks ALL THE TIME! He is the most spineless President we've ever had!
It’s now going to be held at Mar a Lago......
Any location for such a summit needs to be fully vetted the staff subject to background checks food suppliers checked for quality and safety .Cost to taxpayers should be publicly available.location be temporary Gov instillation status
I know Doral, Doral Park, and Costa Del Sol. You not only have a beautiful environment. But also world know Golf Courses. The Blue Monster, The Silver Course, And Costa Del Sol. A deceptively small but difficult course. a round robbin for all parties. Add to that a spanish flare
Jrlvr88 Oh Yeah ,,, Really ? ? ? Someone must have told tRump it was a bad idea ... yknow ... impeachment and all .
why would you fold on this one.....
In Donald’s world, this behavior appears in many of the “Donaldisms.” Without fail, he uses the 10 D’s of opposition tactics against accusers (read “enemies”): deflect, delay, deny, discount, deceive, divide, dulcify, discredit, destroy and deal.
Did you say rare back track..are you being sarcastic TAP? That’s his MO! He just said that to get the heat off of him and the Ukrainian call/impeachment inquiries for a few minutes! He had no intention of ever holding the G-7 there ever! Remember Donald’s 10 D’s
“Accusations”, lol. He totally does this every day.
Thats so weird. Why would he do that? It’s not like anyone is stopping anything he’s doing.
Trump got a bunch of free advertising for Doral and found out if he could get away with meeting there. The tables are turning against him. TrumpMustResign
Backtracking is not at all rare for Trump
Accusations without merit as the event hasn't happened yet. He was found guilty without committing a crime by the left & the media. Way to go Dumbasses, could have had something for free but you went and ruined it.
FOX4 When he is criticized from both sides he usually back tracks. This is normal for him
Wonderful! Finally, DEMs’ first win... Few days ago Democrats introduced a legislation called ‘Thug Act’ to block federal funding for G-7 summit at Trump’s Doral resort in Miami. Thank you DEMs!
He is moving it to Bedminster NJ
He probably was thinking he could invite Putin. If anyone had said anything, he could come back with the answer that, 'It's my hotel and I can invite anyone I want!'
Super Swamp
TrumpHotel? A POTUS should never be able to use the office for personal gain, or Withhold ForeignAid for Dirt on JoeBiden ” realDonaldTrump may qualify for Corruption Greed Treason RICOACT. Think Impeached POTUS will like RikersIsland & FederalPrison BullsEyeTarget
This stable genius is being restricted from doing even a better job than allowed. His instincts are correct. Let him do his job.
Doral 'FORGET ABOUT IT' I really don't think I'll be there anyway I'll be in a Federal Prison tossing someone's salad
Trump leaned that bed bug remediation can be very expensive and very time intensive.
Trump's attempt to scam the selection process for the 2020 G7 is still an article of impeachment.
He was trying to save the American people money and not waste it or steal it the democrats always have!
Because he was.
Great.
Maybe Monday we get back to Trumps' impeachable abuse of power in his Ukraine dealings and his disgraceful foreign policy decision in Syria leaving America’s allies, the Kurds to certain death. Despicable and incompetent, at best. Despicable, incompetent and compromised at worst.
And it’s going to be you clowns in the mad that gripe first about how inconvenient camp David is!! Your HATE will rob you all of a lot of joy!! So pathetic!!
Proves Trump feels vulnerable. Good.
Please fix this introduction. “In a rare backtrack” is blatantly untrue. He changes course mid sentence sometimes!! needs to do better with this.
Guarantee that the ONLY reason he reversed course is because members of the legal team eventually beat it into his head that it would absolutely guarantee impeachment and removal as even the sycophantiest of GOP sycophants couldn't ignore that and go to the polls in 2020.
Trump successfully distracted the news and populace from the Ukraine related impeachment for several days. Tomorrow he will come up with another shocking statement.
NOT RARE FOR realDonaldTrump TO LIE AND GRIFT! HE GOT CAUGHT TRYING TO GRIFT AMERICA! HE IS AN INCOMPETENT PIECE OF CORRUPT SHYT! THIS GOES OUT TO EVERY MAGA AND YOUR MOMMY!
Aaaaaaand everybody just got trolled by the master troller in chief.
He realised be won't still be President by then ImpeachDonaldTrumpNOW
. .Reuters .UPI Not that care, but in a Machiavellian twist, what would happen if realDonaldTrump held the G7 summit in the Democratically run San Francisco, so the world's press can report on the feces-strewn streets of SpeakerPelosi's district?
What did the ASS THINK?
dan_bernstein Conflict with a White Nationalist convention?
Rare my A$$. Always flip flops cause he isn't very bright.
Well - enriching yourself from a no-bid government contract is illegal. So great! The President is no longer breaking the law *in this instance*.
Accusations leave room for debate. Of course it would have enriched him. This isn’t hard. Do better.
Enrich himself😂😂😂he's lost millions for this country and was going to do for free to save tax payers money. Freaking liars and a bunch a haters.
I’m sure other World leaders are relieved that they will not be forced to stay in a bed-bug infested hotel while also enriching Trump’s family.
dan_bernstein 'Accusations' meaning 'uh, statements of fact'
Yah, we’ll hold onto your beer....
Yay, no bedbug bites on the world wide guests!
How petty can you get? How crazy and full of hatred are leftoids to knock back a great deal from the president? He was going to use his resort for FREE! Get it, leftoids? FREE! But no. Can't have that. The idea that Trump could make a dollar drives every Moonbat crazy.
Measure Obama’s & Clinton’s net worth before and after presidency, then measure Trump’s. Please don’t ever squeal about Trump “enriching himself” until you peel back the layers of Obama’s & Clinton’s wealth post-presidency.
Only very dumb or partisan people can believe Trump, a billionaire, became President to enrich himself, considering he is donating his entire salary, and the policies he’s been passing have taken a toll on his businesses. Would have saved the US money to host it at Doral.
It was good to see there are some conservatives who will draw the line!
So everything that Dullvainee announced at his press conference has been reversed? That was productive.
realDonaldTrump POTUS The Truth Is, It's A Nice Place For Leaders To Meet, Period🚩
I guess the heat was to much for him and could be used at his impeachment trial.He already has robbed the American tax payer enough.

The billionaire will be rich over 2-day event of 7 countries. Financial analysts fail.
realDonaldTrump Hold The Next POTUS G7Summit at a FederalPrison. Because that is where you will be at the next meeting.
Why the sudden morality er legality?
Coming soon: push for a Gee-8
RudyGiuliani why realDonaldTrump we had them where we wanted them TrumpDoral 🐜🦗🦟🕸️
There goes the article of impeachment for violation of the emoluments clause...oh no, wait, there are still other instances!
Rare backtrack? He backtracks often.
Poor Trump, he is not allowed to legally violate the constitution
Rare? He back tracks all the time!
They weren’t accusations, they were demonstrable facts
Quitter.
Instead, Trump will continue to enrich himself in equally obvious but less impressive ways.
Your narrative has fallen apart. Can't wait to she how you spin this bad tomorrow.
Too swampy...even for trump
Prediction: Trump will blame Mulvaney (for this & quid pro quo) & announce later this week that Mulvaney's leaving WH COS job - probably to focus solely on old OMB role. Probably Friday afternoon.
Accusations?
How many of the world's leaders said they wouldn't attend?
“Trump is always for sale. That wasn’t toilet paper on his shoe, it was a price tag....The only time corruption bothers Donald Trump is when he's not in on it.'
I guess I can go to bed now. I’ve reached my daily quota of 20 shaking my head and muttering WTAFs at things Donald Trump has done.
