I hate hearing it called “his” because it’s a historic federal office building with a long history before being used as a hotel, and the National Park Service still runs the tower.
We will see what guardrails fall in the budget office. And the Supreme Court evidently told Trump that the Emoluments Clause just means he can cash in daily to enrich his family. Trump should not be able to get that post office hotel again
I would say no, too many conflicts of interest. He made a fortune last time since the State Department send all dignitaries there while they were in this country.
"Before issuing, transferring to a new owner, or renewing a license, the Board shall determine that the applicant meets all of the following criteria ... the applicant has not been convicted of a felony in the 10 years before filing the application."
"Dole out political favors"? Rather, "Overcharge rubes visiting to kiss Trump's ass for favors"? Trump covets that hotel revenue. It's why he's so easily manipulated by those with money. Glaring example: the slimy turd Elon. POTUS Trump is compromised ala Article II Section 4 & 18 US Code Sec 201.
He will claim he needs to do it for national security and then claim presidential immunity when anyone brings up conflict of interest. The fuckery that those fuckers are going to get into will be an absolute fuck ton!
Merrick Garland didn't give a turd about the stinking Emoluments Clause. Pam Bondi certainly won't give him or his crimes he'll be immune from, btw, the time of day. Felonius Trump trampled all over the Constitution. He used it as toilet paper which clogged the White House's plumbing. Allegedly.
Comments
He did this first term and was never punished for it.
The soon to be felon-in-chief will be up to his old tricks, making money off the presidency.
They know an ATM when they see one
"Uh, none? How much are they?"
"$35,000 a day."
"I'll take five, I guess."
Also he couldn't dump it fast enough when he got tossed. Lost money on the thing too.
