The president and his cabal have told us that his Doral resort in Florida was the absolute best place to have the G7 Summit. Recently a reporter decided to hang out there and what he found should embarrass us all.
Visitors need only to sit by the aquarium windows of the resort’s BLT Prime Restaurant to understand fully why it was ridiculous to even consider hosting an auspicious gathering like the G7 there.
They can munch on a $106-porterhouse steak while enjoying the views of not just one but two county garbage dumps rising high above the golf course’s palm-tree line – and getting higher by the day.
If French President Emmanuel Macron was digging into a $38-Dover sole at a different window, he’d be able to spot, just to the west, the smokestacks and silos from a garbage-burning plant towering over the 12th hole of the resort’s famed Blue Monster golf course.
Oh, but it gets much worse:
We checked out the Trump Spa, where guests can get a $300-massage with an anti-aging serum and organic oils that leaves ‘your skin feeling like silk,’ according to the resort’s brochure.
Silky skin, however, doesn’t feel so silky if it touches the rim of the toilet in the men’s gold-and-marble bathroom caked in what appeared to be feces, which we witnessed on the afternoon when we visited.
There’s the mold growing alongside a ceiling AC vent in the lobby and on nearly every chaise-lounge by the pools.
There are black stains in the large aging carpets by the lobby bar.
During our stay, we found other malfunctioning equipment and questionable sanitary conditions at a resort where the average room goes for about $350 a night, placing it out of bounds for most Trump voters.

Here is DailyMail‘s synopsis of their reporter’s 3-day undercover stay.
- President Trump probably did a service to America by retreating from his plan to hold the G7 meeting at his Trump National Doral Miami golf resort.
- To take the full measure of the resort Trump has called ‘one of the most exceptional in the world,’ DailyMail.com went undercover for a three-day stay at the hotel
- Diners at the resort’s BLT Prime restaurant enjoy views of not just one but two county garbage dumps rising high above the golf course’s palm-tree line
- Guests lounging by the two pools were treated to the thunderous landings one minute apart of European airliners ending their cross-Atlantic jaunts
- There’s mold growing alongside a ceiling AC vent in the lobby and on nearly every chaise-lounge by the pools
- In 2016 a New Jersey businessman sued Trump National after he was attacked by bed bugs while sleeping at the Jack Nicklaus Villa
- A settlement was reached in early 2017, right before Trump was inaugurated
- Trump’s name and family crest is emblazoned everywhere. from chocolate bars to water bottles
- Order a salad, and you’re likely to enjoy the ‘Ivanka Garden Salad’ with marinated garbanzo beans and oregano dressing
- Ironically, if there’s one facet of the business where anti-immigration Trump distinguishes himself, it’s in the impeccable service
- Handled by mostly Hispanic workers who wear name tags with their country of their origin, including Venezuela, Argentina, Cuba and Dominican Republic
That we have a president that would attempt what he did, bring world leaders to a dump shows he would do anything. It is clear he wanted that conference to bring some income to the Doral resort. Is this the behavior of a real billionaire?

Just another in a list that already has reached historical proportions. Disgusting commentary describing how our President is at his core. How sad we must endure one more day under such a President. IMPEACH,IMPEACH, IMPEACH. I can’t wear enough buttons proclaiming this. Make sure The Washington Post publishes this on one of their pages this on one of their pages.
Do you really think the hotel wouldn’t be in top shape for the G7?? How ignorant can you biased reporters be…
Fair enough. You think it’s ok though, for the hotel to be in somewhat less(!!!!) than ‘top shape’ ordinarily though? I mean, you’d be fine with the bed bugs and feces would you?
Have fun, I guess!
