    Even if other venues would be more expensive, business should not be flowing to properties owned by the president and his family. His business should not be gaining anything in any way because of the elected position he has. Trump supporters too would have probably agreed with this sentiment pre-Trump.

    So he walked it back because he felt it wouldn't be appreciated by the MSM?

    Maybe, but you never answered the question why a business would offer the facilities for cost.

    The naivety of trumpsters has no limits.

    Do you think Trump would have cleaned the rooms himself?

    It really is a very simple process for understanding the outrage and backlash. Trump engaged in behavior (awarding himself a no-bid contract) that would earn, literally, every single other federal employee besides himself and the VP, a prison term.

    I was asked the other day who I would want for President instead of Trump and I said, "Biden, Buttigieg, Warren, Sanders, Pence, A Dead Guy, My Dog, etc."

    Trump is corrupted to the core. Thats a simple fact.

    He uses his office to make profit. He installs family members into office ect.

    As for your last bla bla so you are happy that our already gigantic trade deficit with you grows slower. It doesnt retreat, it just grows slower and you see that as sucess. In that case our delegations indeed made a great job.

    Trump costs must had gone up to maintain the property after he needed to let go of a large and cheap part of his workforce of illegal workers an now he is not going to get the government to write a large check to him.

    Poor guy indeed...........

    You do know the man history an how good or not good his word had proven to be as for one example he promise the New Jersey gaming commission that he would not used junk bonds to paid for building his Atlantic city casino?

    The result was the casino could not paid the interests on the junk bonds and when went bankrupt but only after he got a reporter fired for reporting the situation.
