    Look, he donates his salary. I am sure that any money generated would be donated. Does this keep you up at night?

    He may invites his strategical favorites there, using it much like Camp David. Those invited would likely feel privileged to attend.

    To the nut left, that is a negative, we can't have politicians who have created thousands of jobs.

    It isn't just about recusing himself from the decision making process. The conflict of interest is there even if it is people underneath him that supposedly make the decision.

    His properties should not be accepting any money from the federal government (or foreign governments) while he is president.

    This is far different then when Obama ordered his state Dept to purchase thousands of copies of his books, at tax payer expense, to give out at embassies around the world. The taxpayers are actually potentially going to get a service here if the place is selected

    You got to keep reading subsection “b” outlines the exceptions. This might have been home Obama was allowed to get away with having tax payers pay for thousands of copies of his books

    Of that trust...but there are other shareholders within the company. Coronations, have shares...shares are owned by shareholders

    And

    He has currently no control over the company at all, or the investments in his trust

    I never said they “pulled out their credit cards” that is a strawman you have created in your head to justify your narrative but it is paid for by the state (unless it’s the trump campaign who frequently skips out on the bill)

    It isn’t free

    As long as it’s bothering a single center of left person the right doesn’t care in the slightest.

    What many of them fail to realize is that republicans will not be in control forever and they are setting a dangerous precedent.
    Hopefully the future elected leaders and their supporters have more integrity than the current batch we have.

    He didn’t propose it. The company made a bid back in July.

    Trump skips on the bill? How much debt did the Obama campaign leave the dnc in? So much that the Clintons had to pay it...and buy the dnc in 2016

    If you don’t think that hosting a huge international conference at your 5 star resort is profitable, you are not very smart.

    If Obama ordered his state department to purchase 1000s of his books he should be prosecuted. HoweverI havea sneaking suspicion that your assertions are the usual pie of steaming crap served up by fake news websites.

    Obama was out of office when his book was released. How could he order anyone in the State department to do anything? You are spreading fake bullshit news as usual.

    Well, according to this site, the hotel is only 4 stars...

    https://travel.usnews.com/Hotels/review-Trump_National_Doral_Miami-Doral-Florida-62914/

    Have to laugh that they are advertising rooms for under $180 a night... Luxury pricing there!! They must be advertising a deplorables rate....

    Also, Doral is now the #32 best Florida Resort, according to U.S. News... Wow! Macron and Trudeau must be licking their chops to hit this place next year, huh?

    There is absolutely NO indication that Obama ORDERED anyone to buy his books. More Obama hating lies.

    It’s probably being transformed into another fea trap like the Taj, The Trump Plaza and some of his other failures. Trump is obviously trying to cash in before he screws all of his partners and BKs out.

    Don't be silly. An invitation is not corruption and never has been.

    trump was supposed to be better president than Obama, not a better fraud.

    Tell me, do you charge rent for Obama to live in your head or does he do so for free.
