Trump never admits being wrong on anything. Now, after fierce criticism for clear self-dealing, he says he won't hold G-7 at his own hotel after all. One more sign that he is feeling threatened and running scared.

2). Mulvaney
3). The "I can shoot someone on 5th Avenue and get away with it" theory was tested on G7, but why give more ammo to a House that's already deep into an impeachment investigation? That said, he still had to try and see if he could get away with it.
Me.

Poor Little Donnie. Of course all of this will bring countless millions of people a rapturous joy!

Now we need to put even more pressure on him.

(18,837 posts)Up until now, it's been all "witch hunt" swagger.
This is the first time he's blinked HARD. Not including, of course, sending Pence and Pompeo to kiss Erdogan's ass and pull his bacon out of the fire.
Even Bill Barr couldn't have fixed this one for him. It was a clear and blatant violation of the domestic AND international aspects of the emoluments clause.

(14,984 posts)And those two things are, unfortunately, in Trumpland, totally different. Trump reverses himself ALL THE TIME. Look at ANY issue and you will see abrupt reversals and positions which are 180-degrees different from things said just the day or week prior. But never an admission of being wrong.
And he very specifically did NOT admit he was WRONG in this case. His announcement of the reversal even INSISTED that holding the G7 summit at Doral would have been a "great thing for our country" or some nonsense.
