I can just imagine if Trump was a Democratic president, how loudly the Republicans would be screaming, but here we are with Trump's overt corruption, and the GOP are silent.

Billing records are easily obtainable. "At cost' means no profit.
Why would anyone scream about a G7 meeting, "at cost" with either party in power?
No records are easily obtainable and Trump the man of a thousand faces and 2 sets of books is in it for profit. When he went to the last G7 he was talking then about how he should hold it at Doral. And incredibly, when he uses a completely fair evaluation system, determined Doral was the best place to hold it. What a shock.
Trump wants it at his failing golf club to save it. This is not a political decision, but a predictable business one. If anyone argues Trump will do it at cost, I will believe they are retarded. The presidency was always about Trump, not America.
Of course the cost of security at Doral, which is in a city, will be much more expensive and complicated. The Government will spend mega millions on that.
The only justification for it is Trump wants the money. Repugs are OK with that. Trump monetized the presidency from day one, so what difference does another emoluments violation make.
Perhaps when Trump resigns, we can reestablish the rule of law for future presidents. Or a Koch can just take over.

Trump, is just trying to save his falling businesses, with tax payer dollars.

"Mulvaney insisted with a straight face that Trump would not profit from the summit, even though millions of dollars from foreign delegations will flood into the coffers of the struggling resort and bring a worldwide branding boost."
