1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: Okay. So. Last October, Donald Trump opened the Trump in

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 1: the National Hotel in Washington, near the White House. It

3
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: was a grand old post office that had long been vacant.

4
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,960
Speaker 1: Trump signed a sixty year lease with the Feds in

5
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: two thousand and thirteen and then spent more than a

6
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,479
Speaker 1: couple hundred million dollars to turn the building into a

7
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 1: luxury hotel. Now. Ever since he won the election, Democrats

8
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 1: have been trying to turn that hotel into a political

9
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: liability for Trump. They claim that it's unconstitutional for President

10
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: Trump to have any connection with the hotel, even after

11
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: he divested himself of day to day involvement with his company.

12
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: The Democrats continue to complain in wine and moan. Last week,

13
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 1: the Government Services Administration of g s A, which overseas

14
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: federal properties, Saint Donald Trump Junior. A letter said the

15
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: property is in full compliance with federal law because Trump

16
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: Senior will receive no direct proceeds from it while he

17
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: is potus. The letter also said the deal has benefited

18
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: the government. With the time the hotel opened, it had

19
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: over he generated over five million dollars, an income to

20
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: the government, which had been losing millions each year on

21
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 1: the property. Now, that should be the end of the story,

22
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: but it's not because the Democrats are still fuming now.

23
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: They're complaining that even though Trump won't benefit from the

24
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: deal while he's president, he will after his term ends

25
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: in There's no pleasing these people, ever, which is why

26
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 1: it really is best to ignore him. Folks. Life gets

27
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: so much better when you do.
