He is lying

A reporter asked Trump if he could reassure Americans he isn't trying to profit off the presidency after hinting he may host the next G7 at his Miami resort.

He replied by highlighting his location's amenities and rejected any assertion he's trying to boost his own brand. pic.twitter.com/arlxkLr77X

"My people looked at 12 sites," Trump says, but says, at Doral, he has a series of "magnificent buildings, we call them bungalows. "Incredible conference rooms. Incredible restaurants." Says there will be parking. "Ballrooms are among the biggest in Florida, and the best."
