Speaker 1: Okay. So. Last October, Donald Trump opened the Trump in
Speaker 1: the National Hotel in Washington, near the White House. It
Speaker 1: was a grand old post office that had long been vacant.
Speaker 1: Trump signed a sixty year lease with the Feds in
Speaker 1: two thousand and thirteen and then spent more than a
Speaker 1: couple hundred million dollars to turn the building into a
Speaker 1: luxury hotel. Now. Ever since he won the election, Democrats
Speaker 1: have been trying to turn that hotel into a political
Speaker 1: liability for Trump. They claim that it's unconstitutional for President
Speaker 1: Trump to have any connection with the hotel, even after
Speaker 1: he divested himself of day to day involvement with his company.
Speaker 1: The Democrats continue to complain in wine and moan. Last week,
Speaker 1: the Government Services Administration of g s A, which overseas
Speaker 1: federal properties, Saint Donald Trump Junior. A letter said the
Speaker 1: property is in full compliance with federal law because Trump
Speaker 1: Senior will receive no direct proceeds from it while he
Speaker 1: is potus. The letter also said the deal has benefited
Speaker 1: the government. With the time the hotel opened, it had
Speaker 1: over he generated over five million dollars, an income to
Speaker 1: the government, which had been losing millions each year on
Speaker 1: the property. Now, that should be the end of the story,
Speaker 1: but it's not because the Democrats are still fuming now.
Speaker 1: They're complaining that even though Trump won't benefit from the
Speaker 1: deal while he's president, he will after his term ends
Speaker 1: in There's no pleasing these people, ever, which is why
Speaker 1: it really is best to ignore him. Folks. Life gets
Speaker 1: so much better when you do.
