Trump’s golden eggs

The summit will be held in June, when Miami is hot and Doral is usually empty.
In 2017, only 38% of Doral's rooms were occupied in June. Only August (31%) was slower.

Now — b/c @realdonaldtrump has awarded the summit to himself — it will be full. https://t.co/p2JPBcpRbl

LISTEN: We have tape of @realdonaldtrump's hired representative explaining that Trump Doral is "severely underperforming" b/c of the Trump brand. We published it in May during an episode of the Post Reports podcast: https://t.co/BTMKxNvYAP

Trump’s Syria ‘ceasefire’

October 18, 2019October 17, 2019 ~ susie ~ 1 Comment

He’s just so horrible:

Read the fine print: Turkey gets Syrian Kurd land he’s wanted for years. Kurdish fighters have to disarm and get out. Russia gains influence. ISIS does what it wants. Trump cancels sanctions on Turkey. Art of the deal!!! If you are Erdogan https://t.co/rfG6XQnzkb

WTF is this idiot talking about? There is no "deal." Turkey is holding back for 5 days to allow Kurds to scatter, and Kurds saying "screw you." Where does this "millions of lives" crap come from? Who has been negotiating for years to get a 5 day cease fire on a war he started? pic.twitter.com/rIXtpikJWt

Yes the Turks have been trying to do this for years and the US always resisted. What’s changed is Trump decided to give them everything they wanted and call it a “deal” – with no upside for us, huge upside for our adversaries and tragedy for the Kurds. https://t.co/nWSLNn1Ipb

By “extradite” they mean kidnap:

NEW: Giuliani pushed Trump to extradite a Muslim cleric, a top priority of Erdogan. Trump repeatedly wanted to do it, but other advisers were appalled & blocked. Aides worried Giuliani was doing Turkey’s bidding. W/@CarolLeonnig, @nakashimae & @thamburger: https://t.co/MFKEfmuujd

Ronan Farrow: National Enquirer tried to help Trump bury allegations he raped a teenager in 1994 and assured Trump's lawyer at the time, Michael Cohen, "that they would track down the woman with the rape allegation and see what they could do about her." https://t.co/b86z8Ikb9K

Documents show stark differences in how Trump’s businesses reported some expenses, profits and occupancy figures for two NYC buildings — making them appear more profitable to a lender and less profitable to officials who set the buildings’ property tax.https://t.co/GOzgsLCfQv

My latest: Rudy Giuliani told me he views his work in Ukraine as “intertwined” with his work as Trump’s personal attorney. He added that he would “need an independent opinion” to confirm what information, if any, he could divulge. https://t.co/0eNQM0lbmp

But I do — when Republicans controlled the House, they had all the committee meetings from the Dems and did everything in secret. The House impeachment hearing are held in secret for obvious reasons, but that doesn’t stop Matt Gaetz from trying to spy for Trump:

Rep. @mattgaetz: "I'm deeply disappointed that as a member of the House Judiciary Committee on behalf of my constituents, I'm unable to participate & listen to the questions & answers… If Democrats really are trying to build a legitimate case, they would use legitimate tools." pic.twitter.com/Q45PvsGHmK

Sorry @RepMattGaetz would make me break out laughing. I guess that might throw me off my game for a few minutes. But the only serious impact might be wetting my pants from uncontrollable laughter, not intimidation.
— Joe Lockhart (@joelockhart) October 14, 2019

You can’t kick someone out who was never invited in. Rep. @mattgaetz is not on any of the committees and your side’s stunt wasted an hour of time. It’s time to get serious. @realDonaldTrump confessed to a crime and we have a country to protect. https://t.co/TG6gyZsQ2h
