... nobody had bothered informing the locals.

The city of Doral and its police department .. were caught on the hop by the proclamation.

So too were the Miami-Dade police department, and the senior officials of the county’s tourism bureau, who usually have the job of securing blocks of hotel rooms when events of .. international importance come to town.

Mulvaney told reporters at a rare White House press briefing on camera, on Thursday afternoon, that the administration selected Trump’s resort after initially looking at about 12 potential locations ...

“Doral was by far and away the best physical facility for this meeting. It’s almost like they built this facility to host this event,” he said ...

What a goat-fuck that will be. I can imagine the Secret Service pulling the plug on the whole thing just because there's no way in hell they can secure a place like that.

to treat the bedbug bites, not to mention a NAPA auto parts dealer, a supermarket, a Chik-Fil-A, several other hotels you can escape to, and bars where you can drink yourself senseless.

would be better venues than this shithole. The only reason they want it there is so that Trump can get the taxpayers to pay for free upgrades to the property and so that he can invite Putin because "it's his property". Fuck him and his grifting, greedy family. I hope he's out long before this meeting is scheduled to take place.
