What happened

The White House said Doral would host at cost with no profit to Trump, but ethics groups noted no comparative proposals from other cities were produced and that delegations' food, lodging and ancillary spending would still flow to a Trump-owned business.

Why it matters

A sitting president unilaterally directed a taxpayer- and foreign-government-funded diplomatic summit to his own property, guaranteeing his business room-nights and event revenue regardless of the at-cost framing.
