If a majority of the participants want to discuss climate change, why can't they?

where the meeting is to be held? I doubt very much they would willing stay at any Trump property if they had any say over it. Especially not one with a reputation for health code violations and bedbugs.

which in the past has been Camp David when the U.S. is the host. But Mulvaney says Camp David is terrible and everybody hates it, and anyhow Trump won't profit from the conference being held at his resort? Does that mean Trump will be comping everybody? Don't hold your breath.

tRump has discarded our allies just like the Kurds.

Climate change is real.

Mulvaney I hope the ground opens and swallows him. That is rather repulsive of him, to just sweep climate change under the rug.

Mother Nature will have something in store for those climate deniers who do not believe in climate change.

We need to get rid of these evil fucking white men!!

maybe at a nice resort somewhere on the French Riviera, and then show up at Doral for a few free meals and rounds of golf and no meetings at all. They should be careful about the bedbugs, though.
