Seems President Xi won't be staying at Mar-a-Lago

He'll be at the Eau Palm Beach Resort and Spa in Manalapan, a few miles down the road. While that screws up our traffic even more than normal, I think it's smart of him not to remain in Orange Domain.

I'd never stay in a hotel owned/controlled by a government official.

Staying at the Breakers was crazy. I saw the crazy rich. What is crazy rich? Taking the nanny along for the vacation. You're not working but you still have someone to look after your kids.

I also suspect they know that mar a lago is a wired by the Russians. Our government is compromised now by Russia and China knows it. The Chinese know chump is an idiot and are going to mess with him.

& that is Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines.

Putin is a murderer but he is smart & clever. Kim Jong Un is on equal footing with putz.

Trying to make a public crackdown on "crooked" politicians?. That's supposedly the reason he won't play golf too.
