President Trump went on the defensive Monday, shooting down the idea that hosting a G-7 summit at his Miami golf resort would make him richer,  telling reporters, “I don’t want to make money.”

“It’s not about me, it’s about getting the right location,” Trump said at a closing G-7 press conference, in response to a reporter’s question about him profiting from a possible gathering at the Trump National Doral.

“I don’t want to make money. I don’t care about making money.”

During an earlier meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the president gushed over his resort’s accommodations, including its proximity to Miami International Airport, in a pitch for why it’s a prime spot to host next year’s G-7 summit.

“They love the location of the hotel,” ​the former real estate mogul said. “We haven’t found anything that’s even close to competing with it. Really you can be there in a matter of minutes after you land.​”​

The president struck a similar tone at the press conference, claiming that “each country can have their own villa, or own bungalow.”

Instead of making money from the annual event, Trump went on to explain how being president is actually draining his coffers.

“It’ll cost me anywhere from 3 to 5 billion dollars to be president, and the only thing I care about is this country,” Trump said.

“I used to get a lot of money to make speeches, now I give speeches all the time. You know what I get — zippo.”
