Quote:Trump said on Monday that he would not be making any money off the next G-7 meeting, adding that he has lost “billions” of dollars since becoming president from missed financial opportunities.

“I used to make money off giving speeches. Now, I make speeches all the time and you know how much I make? Zero,” Trump said.

Quote:President Trump on Tuesday attempted to squash rumors that his golf resort in Doral, Florida has bedbugs after he suggested the venue as the host of next year's G-7 summit.

“No bedbugs at Doral," Trump tweeted Tuesday morning. "The Radical Left Democrats, upon hearing that the perfectly located (for the next G-7) Doral National MIAMI was under consideration for the next G-7, spread that false and nasty rumor. Not nice!”

Trump, at a press conference in France on Monday, talked up the possibility of Trump National Doral Golf Club hosting the next G-7 summit, touting its close proximity to Miami’s airport and facilities available for the staff of world leaders and the press. A senior administration official told Fox News the next summit is set to be held there.

But just hours after he suggested the property, the hashtag “TrumpBedBugs" began trending on social media, in response to a January 2017 Miami Herald report about claims from a Doral guest in 2016 about waking up with dozens of bed bug bites. The guest sued the resort and reportedly reached a settlement.

Quote:Being on the receiving end of President Trump' biting tweets might make The New York Times squirm. But here's something else that could be making The Gray Lady uncomfortable (and itchy) at the moment: bed bugs.

Multiple Times staffers shared the news on social media Monday: The famed newsroom has an infestation of bed bugs.
According to an internal email sent to employees -- obtained by Slate, the bugs were found in the "wellness room" on the second floor, on a couch on the third floor, and in a booth on the fourth floor over the weekend.

The email went on to say that "evidence of possible bedbug activity was found in a few personal lockers on the third floor," and that "treatment is underway" for those whose lockers were contaminated.

Assistant editor Stuart Thompson shared the news on Twitter, before columnist Sopan Deb (apparently a Trekker) joked that he'd "ordered shields up" and "phasers to be set on stun" to combat the critters.

The little bastards are not content to bite you once, they crawl along biting as they go, and that leaves a straight line of bites, which is how you recognize them, and diagnose an infestation. I started researching how to get rid of them, and it is allegedly very difficult to do, but after about a week they all mysteriously disappeared without me having to do anything at all...

Apparently, my blood is toxic to bedbugs. Probably too much testosterone, and they must've got testosterone poisoning.

... and that is proof positive that bedbugs are Leftists.

True story.
