Ladra could have told you this was coming.
Donald Trump has been salivating for years at the idea of hosting the world’s power players at his Doral playground, the golf resort he scooped up in bankruptcy and turned into his Miami-Dade monument to himself. He tried to stick the G7 there back in 2020 until COVID got in the way. He wasn’t about to let another shot slip by.
So now, in 2026, the G20 summit of world economic leaders will land in… wait for it… Doral. Not “Miami,” like Trump kept repeating last week– with Miami Mayor Francis Suarez beaming and falling all over himself to thank him at his side in the Oval Office — but Doral. You know, that suburb best known for traffic or arepas.
Trump said the Trump National Doral was perfect because of the weather and nearby airport and insisted that we, the people of “Miami,” wanted it. Pero claro, who wouldn’t want thousands of cops, Secret Service agents, motorcades, barricades and 
headaches right in time for Art Basel? Doralites already know what traffic looks like when there’s a junior golf tournament. Multiply that by a hundred, add a few heads of state, and you’ve got December gridlock.
But make no mistake: this is all about Trump finally pulling off what he couldn’t in his first term. He has always wanted his name in the backdrop of world leaders’ photo ops, his Crystal Ballroom on the evening news, his private cabanas whispered about in security briefings. He gets to say he brought the G20 to Miami-Dade — while really bringing it to the only piece of real estate that matters to him.
And Suarez? Ay, the mayor couldn’t thank him enough, practically calling Trump the savior of the hospitality industry. “I know you own many hospitality assets and properties,” Baby X said. Wink, nod.

Never mind that the city of Miami won’t be hosting squat. It’s Doral that will be on the map, as Doral Mayor Christi Fraga quickly reminded everyone, already polishing the welcome sign.
“Doral is ready to shine. From business to culture, we’ll showcase our city on the world stage,” Fraga posted on the platform formerly known as Twitter.
Residents of Doralzuela, where thousands of Venezuelans have remade their lives after fleeing the dictatorship back home, might 
not be as enthusiastic. The same president who is now trying to deport more Venezuelans than ever — even those who had legal protections just five minutes ago — wants to showcase their adopted hometown as his shiny global stage. He’ll fill his resort with heads of state while ICE fills planes with families.
Trump swears he and his own family won’t profit from the decision. ¿De verdad? At a resort he owns? Where every suite, cocktail, and catered lunch gets rung up at Trump National Doral? Ladra will believe that when the Venezuelan cartelitos stop laundering money through Doral condos.
So sí, the world is coming to Doral. But don’t let the White House spin fool you. This isn’t about Miami’s “global city” moment.
It’s about Trump finally getting to show off his golf course to the planet — even if he has to snarl traffic, crash Art Basel, and make Miami look like a backdrop for his resort ad in the process.

” Venezuelans are controlled by a dictator. Cubans allowed Castro for 50 years… Trump got votes from idiots. JD Vance has changed his name three times. Rubio used to hate Trump.”
No expert on Venezuelans but living in Doral MANY who voted for him regret it and his narcotics nonsense with Venezuela hasn’t fooled them back .
They were foolish to have ever voted alongside Miami Cubans and even those I told ” Find out who most Cubans in Miami are voting for and vote for the other candidate because they will always support the most corrupt , unethical full of it politician going simply look at ME-AMI ”
Yes muchos rolled their eyes , made a face when I told them but now agree .
” Trump won Doral in 2024, and the Vance-Rubio ticket will do the same in 2028.”
Rubio will not carry a fraction of the Hispanic vote outside of Miami that Trump carried .
When I first moved here and working at night till am I got lost because there was night construction on road I took , either way found myself at Trumps golf course .
There were Police out in front and I asked for directions , though no fan of Trump the course is stunning , this was like 4 am and it was well lit because grass was being mowed but what I saw some course .
Truth. Francis Suarez’s Net Worth was negative $300,000 when he first got elected 17 years ago. Now he has a wife and three kids and a No Show job at the City of Miami and “somehow” he lifts weights 2 hours a day, he gets taxpayers to give him 24/7 chauffeurs using a City $90,000 SUV and his Net Worth is plus $10,000,000. And Baby Francis gets taxpayers to fly him to the White House where he kisses Trump’s ring. AND in Miami taxes and fees keep going up.
Transactional POTUS and family benefiting from his job like no other POTUS has ever done in the history of the U.S. history. Check Francis becoming a multimillionaire as the mayor of Miami.
It is not hate, it is calling things the way they are, which is not the way this country has been in over almost 250 years.
Venezuelans are controlled by a dictator. Cubans allowed Castro for 50 years… Trump got votes from idiots. JD Vance has changed his name three times. Rubio used to hate Trump.
Watch con man Trump charge taxpayers $3,000 per night for hotel rooms at his Doral hotel and watch Trump charge $800,000 per cocktail party at his bars. Watch Trump charge $80 for a Bud Lite. Grifter Trump is now increasing his Net Worth as he takes steps to be a dictator. Cubans love dictators… hence Cubans voted for Trump… and Baby Francis Suarez licks Trumps boots.
“Trump Derangement Syndrome” is very real. You can see it in those who blindly support Trump, ignoring his treason, felony convictions, alienating our allies, blaming Ukraine for the war, lying constantly, advising we fight covid by injecting bleach, tariffs for all except Russia and so much more.
Won’t we be getting the same economic benefits through sales, food, beverage, and bed taxes as we would if it were in Miami? We’re a big time community that hosts big time events, whether it be in Miami, Doral, Miami Beach, Miami Gardens, etc…. Money is money and jobs are jobs. Why be such a hater?
You RINO’s/ Marxist use to love the President, what happened? LOL
It never seizes to amaze me how hard you try to put down President Trump in any way you can… “Sangrando por la herida,” like we say in my neck of the woods. It’s just sad, being a grown woman and all that you keep making yourself look like such a sore loser. If you weren’t Cuban, I’d take you for just another libtard, White Karen.
oye, tu te quejas cuando sale el sol por la mañana! So Trump is bringing the world to Miami. so what’s your problem? Traffic? seriously?! technically, its Doral, not Miami? (like anyone outside the 305 knows the difference, or cares.) you’re increasingly focused on penny-ante stuff. your write ups and posts used to be interesting, compelling even. but lately, una queja atras de otra. never once anything even slightly positive. you’ve turned into one of those youTube Karens, minus the interesting video. when I started reading your posts, I had hopes you’d be the local, Cuban Bari Weiss. (of The Free Press). no such luck. I remain hopeful , but man oh man…. its fading.
Que bueno. Ahora todos los ciudadanos que votaron por el en esa area van a estar muy contentos.
Aunque tengo entendido ( I heard it through the grapevine) que muchos de ellos estan arrepentidos.
We welcome this event, and remember that it’s in Doral, not in Miami.
Trump won Doral in 2024, and the Vance-Rubio ticket will do the same in 2028.
Let him profit, let him market his name, and Miami-Dade County, because we all benefit from it.
The greatest President within the last the 35 years is deserving of our love and support.
