The only way to solve the problem is to not attend so long as it is held at his property.

They have to just say, "You've said we cannot discuss Climate Change and we must discuss Climate Change. Since that is the case, we'll have a separate G7 meeting at a different location..." Or they can say their attorneys have advised them not to attend because it violates international laws against enriching a foreign leader in conjunction with the making of influential decisions (or something to that effect).

Let tRUMP have a pity party at his bed bug property with his buddies Vlad and the other dictators he admires.

I'm sure that all of the other leaders are aware that bedbugs are not the only bugs at his clubs.

And it is all but certain that no G7 meeting will be held at Doral next year.

Steven Miller probably even understands that and knew that before he had Dump put this out there. Miller's goal is to stir shit up. Dump's is to make money and to make himself the center of attention. Miller achieves his objective, and so does Dump, at least in the short term.

have to answer to the next Democratic President.

I'm past playing softball with these fucksticks. Oh, you think Donnie Shit for Brains tariffs were bad, you ain't seen nothing yet.

At this point, showing up at this shitshow amounts to an endorsement and campaign contribution.

The G7 needs to know that there will be consequences for enabling, normalizing and supporting this orange amphibian turd.
