I understand. You have to take this position. There's no way to be supportive of Trump without taking this position.
It is driven by a primary desire to begin with a predetermined conclusion: that Trump is great, and can do no wrong.
That guidance for treating news like this dictates the need to find some way to explain why something that, if Hillary Clinton had done the same thing you would be highly critical with good reason, but since it's Trump, that makes it completely different.
And after all, there is this forgone conclusion that Trump has done no wrong.
So there simply MUST be SOME explanation.
I understand.
This is all on the up and up. It is quite normal for world leaders to hold world summits at properties they own and hope to profit from.
Yeah, BS.
OK, if this was really the ideal property for this summit, in such extreme that none other could suffice; in order to avoid the appearance of impropriety, the president should offer to allow all the people needed for this to stay and eat for free. All on his personal dime.
THAT would remove all the accusations of impropriety.
HE'S always bragging about how much money HE has.
What is all that money FOR?
It sure doesn't seem to have made him very happy.
