The decision to hold the major international summit at a property owned by Trump’s family quickly spurred outrage from the president’s critics who argue that Trump is looking to enrich his family's brand by bringing world leaders to the resort.

Democrats and watchdog groups have continued to raise concerns about Trump's frequent use of his properties during his presidency.

Not to mention double digit health code violations in the kitchens at Trump’s Doral Resort the last few years.

Edit: Double digit health code violations every single year since 2013, one violation being so severe the kitchen had to be shut down by emergency order. As a chef, I’ve spent the last 17 years of my life in restaurants, had a safe food handling certification for over half my life and I am so disgusted by this!!! I cannot even imagine how gross that kitchen must be and how few fucks they give about handling food in such away that it won’t make guests ill.

Edit 2: Thanks for the gold fellow grossed out human!

Friendly reminder to vote in every election. Local elections too. Every vote counts and every election matters!! Check to see if you are registered to vote and get registered if you aren’t
