The story, neutrally told

Mixed · 2President Donald Trump will host this year's Group of 20 summit at his own Miami-area golf club, with the summit due in December at his Doral property. Left · 1According to The New York Times, as relayed by Raw Story, the announcement of the venue "generated practically no protest", in contrast to 2019, when Trump tried to hold the G7 summit at the same club and dropped the plan after backlash. Left · 1The Times called the decision an "act of self-dealing" and said Trump had "effectively moved the goal posts of what is considered out of bounds".

Left · 1The Times gave three differences from 2019, including that Trump has used primaries to purge Republicans who defied him, which it said sent "an unmistakable warning" to the rest; it also cited his dismantling of government accountability mechanisms and his indifference to criticism over ethics. Left · 1Trump told the Times in January that he "got no credit in the first term" for purportedly reining in his family's business ventures. Left · 1Critics reacted online: journalist David Clinch said Trump "swallowed" ethical lines "like a plate of spaghetti", former U.S. attorney Joyce Vance said the administration's corruption was "so rampant" it was hard to keep up with, and political scientist Larry Sabato called Trump "easily" the worst president in history.

Right · 1Separately, a Washington Examiner opinion column by Tom Rogan says Trump has invited Russian President Vladimir Putin to the summit and that Putin has not announced whether he will attend. Right · 1Rogan argues Putin faces possible embarrassment from pro-Ukraine leaders and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, but risks angering Trump if he stays away, and predicts he will likely remain in Moscow.

Every sentence links to the reporting it rests on. The pill in front of each says where its sources sit: Left, Centre or Right when one side supplies at least half of them, Mixed when they are evenly split. The number is how many outlets it cites.
