Twitter users began using the hashtag Thursday after White House acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney announced that the G7 summit would take place at Trump's Doral resort because it was "far and away the best physical facility for this meeting." Immediately, Americans criticized Trump for what will undoubtedly be profit to his own business.

O'Reilly had shared a story from January 2017 about the Trump Organization reaching a settlement on a lawsuit from a business traveler who sued after staying at Trump National Doral Miami and getting bed bugs all over his arms, back and face..............................

Yes, these things "can happen anyplace," but the fact that they have been a problem at the Doral for years tells you that the "management" is NOT invested or interested in doing anything about the problem.

Bedbugs CAN absolutely be eliminated, but the Doral has been infested (and NOT just with bedbugs) for a very long time. Far too long for them to be so cavalier about it.
