Hypocrisy?

DJT wants the G7 to stay/have meetings at Trump Hotel because it's close to the airport.

Pence goes to Ireland and has a meeting, He stays at a Trump Hotel which is hours away from where the meeting is being held.

Business as Normal’: Pence’s Stay at Trump Hotel in Ireland Follows a Trend

The lengthy commute was necessary because of Mr. Pence’s choice of hotel: Rather than spending Monday night in Dublin, the vice president stayed 181 miles away by car on the other side of Ireland — at the Trump International Golf Links & Hotel in Doonbeg. The person who suggested he stay there was the hotel’s owner himself, President Trump.

A "perk" for him...income for DJT?

but he was more known for his love of beer. For the most part, the press spoke humorously of Billy's passion. I could wonder what they'd say if Trump had such a beer loving brother running the real estate business now.

They're politicians- like asking what it means when their lips move.
