Is Trump's grifting of the United States going on tomorrow March 7th @ his Doral Golf Club?

“The "Shield of the Americas" Summit is a March 7, 2026 security gathering convened by U.S. President Donald Trump in Doral, Florida, aimed at strengthening regional security partnerships, specifically focusing on combating drug trafficking and transnational criminal networks.”

And will Donny be making money off of this “security gathering?” My guess is yes.

Are you shitting me? It will focus on, “combating drug trafficking and transnational criminal networks.”
Drugs? He just pardoned the largest smuggler of cocaine into America in history.
International Criminal networks? See the Epstein, Putin, Trump, and Musk child sex trafficking and
other criminal activities network.

Btw are Canada, Mexico, Columbia, and other Western Hemisphere countries even part of this
“Shield of Americas?”

Btw part deux, And is this part of the Dictators Trump & Putin (Musk, and Thiel’s too ?) New
World Order? Putin gets Russia and however much of Europe and the old Soviet Union he can
take, China gets Asia, and Trump gets the Americas?

Am I just nutz? For the love of dog DONALD TRUMP is a mob boss who works for Vlad Putin.
And the Republicans are just fine with this? Ike isn’t rolling in his grave he is trying to claw his way
way out!

Limbaugh and Hannity got or are still getting tons of Russian talking points. They see helping
Republicans as one of the best ways to weaken America and they do this by spreading disinfor-
mation which causes social divisions. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin is an example.

I always found it ironic that Russia poured so much money into the NRA and got people all excited about their gun rights. Russians have no gun rights.

Trump's grifting is a full time thing. That's why he ran for President, it pays better that reality TV.

unless he finds a way to make money from it. 😠

I see the PGA has resumed using Doral for tournament play. I didn't pay my dues this year because of it, and may resign completely.
