They did so likely for the same reason I eventually did. Direct wasn't getting the conversation anywhere, and so I could have just dropped it, or tried something else, as they did. Fools Gold maybe. The Dems have a lot of what they think is armor penetrating firepower, and maybe it would be if aimed at a different tank, yet it tends to bounce off Trump most of the time for whatever reasons. Having it at his own hotel does look bad, but if it's a worthy place to have it, or the best place, then it's no different than if he wasn't Prez and they had it there. It's not like every Gov event is being held at Trump properties, because that would certainly be worthy of concern. Obama's admin let Trump redevelop the Washington Post Office, and that wasn't a problem then since Trump wasn't Prez, so for Trump Corp to get another contract like that it would look bad now, but it's not like it would actually be out of the norm. Aren't the troops moving to join troops who are elsewhere already? Less world policing would include policing in less places across the globe. Now while I may be correct, would it be justified? Don't you think the U.S. should be remaining to help the Kurds anyway? Wouldn't that negate that point regardless? |
Its not that the Dems have this armor penetrating firepower, the nation itself is increasing in support of that power. The fact that the nation is interested more in seeing impeachment is something that cannot be ignored. Yes, Trump has been Telfon since he started his run but there appears to be a weariness happening even within the GOP.
The problem isn't that having the G7 event at his hotel is worthy or not. It presents a very clear look of double dealing especially if his staff that is choosing the location. At no point did the White House present any evidence on why they choose Doral especially with the place struggling financially at this time. It presents a chance for Foreign leaders to give away all types of gifts and money to a private company where you cannot check the books. Every government event doesn't have to be at his location, using his private business at any time looks like a bribe. If you have ever dealt with government business you would know this.
I believe you do not get it. Trump being President changes everything about how he deals with his business in office since anything that even looks like he is using the POTUS office to enrich himself goes against the constitution, no matter if its one time or a bunch of times. His admin giving contracts to his business would get them fired in any other position in the government. There isn't any bending of the rules here, its the type of stuff that gets you impeached and if he was stupid enough to continue down that line, it was just another nugget on the pile that even the GOP cannot ignore.
On your last paragraph, it was Trump that stated the Saudis paid for the Troops. Its his words, so no it has the appearance that we are a mercenary force that can be paid to jump to the whims of another country instead of the interest of our own. Less would policing doesn't mean what you think it means, if we are still deploying the same amount of troops or more whether its own area or many. Even worst, it has the appearance that the US only cares about protecting our allies if they have enough cash unlike the Kurds and thus we will let them be slaughtered because a higher bidder paid for those troops. Bad timing or just pure idiocy you name it but Trump continue to make bad moves, decisions or just opening his mouth at the wrong time.
