OH COME ON.
President Trump’s company is actively seeking to open a second Washington hotel as part of a planned nationwide expansion, potentially creating another venue where he stands to benefit financially from customers doing business in the nation’s capital.
Rather than build a new hotel, they want to buy an existing one and repackage it under their Scion brand. That would have the coincidental benefit of being able to re-open during Trump's term. It's meant for travelers not willing to spring for the overpriced gaud-fest that is a Trump hotel, but still want to piss away money in Trump's general direction.
The addition of a more informal Scion Hotel in the District would provide a chance for less well-heeled groups to do business with the president’s company — albeit at a property that would not bear his name.
Whatever. We're now at the point where Trump's stupid hotel grifts are barely making the top dozen scandals of his presidency. And, let's face it, the odds are still no better than 50/50 that Trump makes it to the end of his term without getting impeached or resigning in fatigue as discussed, at which point his conflict-of-interest problems will no longer be problems.
