"Trump reportedly made the decision to pick a new G-7 summit location following a call with Republicans on Saturday.

Democrats have long alleged that Trump has used the presidency to bolster his business empire, citing frequent stays by administration officials and foreign representatives at Trump branded properties.

A lawsuit filed by congressional Democrats alleging Trump is violating the Emoluments Clause is working its way through the court system."

as has been the case many times since the election the rulers inside the beltway do not want Trump exposing all their dirt. Of course Trumps is rich but not  the political kind of rich. Of course Trump does not need the money from the conference and of course the dems full well now this but being the fools they are, they cannot resist


footnote: today the biden info got deeper. Not 50,000/mo bur 83,333 dollars/mo...all because Hunter was joe's son while joe was VP. But do not look here no sir

The decision to use his resort for the G7 was questionable at best.  I'm glad they're looking at other venues.   The emoluments issue is questionable,  but he should be avoiding the appearance of questionable issues like this, particularly when he is under a microscope 24/7.
