Trump has awarded G-7 summit to his Miami-area resort, the White House says.

That decision will bring hundreds of diplomats, media and security personnel to President Trump’s financially struggling resort — where profits fell 70 percent after he entered politics.

Why go to someone else's hotel when you got your own?
The law should be changed. Political positions should not be reserved for poor people only.
Rich people should be allowed to hold positions and use their own assets too.
So what? You own a restaurant; you become mayor; you should never take your guests to your restaurant because it will benefit you?
Only those who don't have anything, don't own hotels, restaurants, golf courses, NBA teams, movie theaters, etc, should be allowed to run for political office? What kind of crazy law is that?

Pretty sure the 'necessary' redecorating, refurbishment and extensions will cost millions and the taxpayer will foot the bill.

That's ridiculous. Why would taxpayers redecorate a private hotel?
If work has to be done, it will be with Trump's own money. That's what he's done his whole adult life. The government didn't build his hotels. It's a private enterprise. Yes, private enterprises do exist.

Private property for public purpose. A huge bill is coming, guaranteed.

Schumer represents AIPAC, not the USA. You can see that here.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) shut down an effort by Democrat Chuck Schumer (NY) to rebuke President Trump over his decision to withdraw US troops from northern Syria.
Schumer attempted to get consent on Thursday to bring up the House-passed resolution, arguing that "we're in real trouble," according to The Hill.

On Tuesday, the house voted 354-60 "opposes the decision to end certain United States efforts to prevent Turkish military operations against Syrian Kurdish forces in Northeast Syria."
"We are in real trouble" because we want to leave the Middle East wars behind? Why is it our war? It's the war for those who live there, not the USA. Those who wants to control their neighbors or those who want to see chaos all over the area.
Thank you, Rand Paul!!!
Paul blasted Schumer, saying "He should come to the floor and say that we are ready to declare war. We are ready to authorize force, and we are going to stick our troops in the middle of this messy, messy, five-sided civil war where we would be ostensibly opposed to the Turkish government that has made an incursion."

The Kentucky Republican added that the House-passed resolution would do "nothing to fix the problem."

On Wednesday, Paul told CNN's Jake Tapper that pulling US troops from Northern Syria "may be the best thing that ever happened to the Kurds," adding "This was [President Donald Trump’s] decision … It was the best thing not only for our troops, but it’s also the best way to adhere to the Constitution."

"The Constitution says you don’t declare a war unless Congress votes on it, and who are we going to declare a war against — our ally, Turkey, the Free Syrian Army that used to be our ally, [Syrian President Bashar] Assad?"

The foreign leaders will stay at a hotels. Why should Trump's hotel be excluded? It makes no sense.
Those laws were written when the presidents didn't own hotels. Things have change. So must the laws.
That same constitution was not allowing Black and Women to vote. Remember? It's not perfect.
Guests should stay at any hotel, whether it belongs to the speaker of the House, the President or any Congressman. It's not a sin to be a business. And businessmen should not be barred from running for office.

If he can be so blatantly self-serving in public, how is he in private?
