What's this?

Last year is the first 100 days? Could you show us how their income

far exceeded initial projections? (that deluxe hotel was going to do well even without Trump in the White House, and it's even possible revenue dropped because of those that refuse to stay there because his name is on it and everything he's said and done) How about how that balance sheet has gone up since Trump became POTUS as RQ claimed as if it were fact?

There is no doubt they would be better off if they had completely divested, because without that questions like yours and suggestions and innuendos will be pushed constantly. But to suggest full divestiture was even a viable option, or calls for a "blind trust", are naive and bordering on absurd.

In the meantime, let us know if there has been any evidence of this not being the case:

"She's not allowed to do anything in her official capacity to promote that hotel," he said. "Even if she does so much as suggest to someone that they should have an event at the hotel, that would be off limits."

Now perhaps if they set up a charitable foundation accepting massive foreign and access granting donations, or cashed in on exorbitant speaker fees.....
