0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Okay. So. Last October, Donald Trump opened the Trump in

0:00:02.920 --> 0:00:05.520
<v Speaker 1>the National Hotel in Washington, near the White House. It

0:00:05.600 --> 0:00:09.080
<v Speaker 1>was a grand old post office that had long been vacant.

0:00:09.119 --> 0:00:11.960
<v Speaker 1>Trump signed a sixty year lease with the Feds in

0:00:11.960 --> 0:00:14.720
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and thirteen and then spent more than a

0:00:14.760 --> 0:00:17.479
<v Speaker 1>couple hundred million dollars to turn the building into a

0:00:17.560 --> 0:00:21.079
<v Speaker 1>luxury hotel. Now. Ever since he won the election, Democrats

0:00:21.120 --> 0:00:24.160
<v Speaker 1>have been trying to turn that hotel into a political

0:00:24.200 --> 0:00:28.160
<v Speaker 1>liability for Trump. They claim that it's unconstitutional for President

0:00:28.160 --> 0:00:31.360
<v Speaker 1>Trump to have any connection with the hotel, even after

0:00:31.440 --> 0:00:34.280
<v Speaker 1>he divested himself of day to day involvement with his company.

0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:38.400
<v Speaker 1>The Democrats continue to complain in wine and moan. Last week,

0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:42.159
<v Speaker 1>the Government Services Administration of g s A, which overseas

0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:45.440
<v Speaker 1>federal properties, Saint Donald Trump Junior. A letter said the

0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:49.680
<v Speaker 1>property is in full compliance with federal law because Trump

0:00:49.800 --> 0:00:53.400
<v Speaker 1>Senior will receive no direct proceeds from it while he

0:00:53.560 --> 0:00:57.080
<v Speaker 1>is potus. The letter also said the deal has benefited

0:00:57.080 --> 0:00:59.680
<v Speaker 1>the government. With the time the hotel opened, it had

0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:02.320
<v Speaker 1>over he generated over five million dollars, an income to

0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:05.440
<v Speaker 1>the government, which had been losing millions each year on

0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:08.040
<v Speaker 1>the property. Now, that should be the end of the story,

0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:11.280
<v Speaker 1>but it's not because the Democrats are still fuming now.

0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:14.280
<v Speaker 1>They're complaining that even though Trump won't benefit from the

0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:18.440
<v Speaker 1>deal while he's president, he will after his term ends

0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:23.440
<v Speaker 1>in There's no pleasing these people, ever, which is why

0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:25.960
<v Speaker 1>it really is best to ignore him. Folks. Life gets

0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:26.920
<v Speaker 1>so much better when you do.
