Trump is "definitely still involved" in his hotel business, a new report says
Tromp is definitely still involved in his hotel business a new report says
Even as president Trump keeps up on how his Washington DC. Hotel is doing
President Donald Trump's isn't so separate from his businesses as he would like the public to think
Throughout his campaign and through his first few months as president Trump
Has said he would distance himself from his Trump organization and hand it over to his sons in lieu of divesting entirely
Which ethics experts say he should?
They fear that otherwise he will use the presidency for his own personal gain or that his policies will be influenced by his business
Interests as far as the president flagship hotel in Washington. DC. Goes Trump is definitely still involved
According to an email sent by the hotel's director of revenue management first reported by The Daily Beast on
Friday that site published with September 12th email from Gingka hyung the director of revenue management
for the Trump International Hotel in Washington
In if he wrote that he met with Trump who asked specific questions about the hotel in his business
The message says the company is interesting being under the Trump umbrella
Djt is supposed to be out of the business and passed on to his sons
but he's definitely still involved so it's interesting and unique in that way I
had a brief meeting with him a few weeks ago, and he was asking about banquet revenues and demographics and
He asked if his presidency heard the businesses
So he seems self-aware about things at least more than he lets on I am far left-leaning
Politically so working here has been somewhat of a challenge for me, but it's all business
It's not clear when hyung met with Trump
McHale daemul in court the hotel's
Managing Director told The Daily Beast that hyung made Trump's comments up in an effort to enhance his sense of importance to a former employer
Trump's refusal to completely separate himself from his vast business Holdings has been a source of ethical consternation since his election
shortly before his inauguration Trump
And one of his lawyers Sheri Dillon
Outlined a vague plan for the president-elect to distance himself from his company at Trump Tower in New York
They announced he would put his businesses in a trust managed by his two adult sons Eric and Donald Jr
and the Trump
Organizations chief financial officer Alan weiselberger I could actually run my business and run government at the same time
I don't like the way that looks Trump said, but I would be able to do that if I wanted to
Ethics experts have argued
Divest sell-off is assets entirely and put their value into a blind trust an investment portfolio of which he would have no knowledge or control
The president is now entering a world of public service Walter Shaw former director of the Office of government ethics
the government agency that oversees
Executive branch policies related to conflict of interest said in a speech at the Brookings Institution at the start of the year
He's going to be asking his own appointees to make sacrifices
He's going to be asking our men and women in uniform to risk their lives and conflicts around the world
So no I don't think divestiture is too high a price to pay to be the President of the United States of America
Schaub resigned in July to join the campaign Legal Center a group that works on campaign finance and ethics in government
In working with the current administration
It has become clear to me that we need improvements to the existing ethics program
He said in a press release at the time. It's perhaps telling that Shaab felt. He called and reformed the government from the inside
Trump's washington hotel has been especially problematic
some of trumps businesses have struggled since his election for example a
trunk branded hotel in Manhattan's Soho neighborhood dropped the Trump name after a number of
High-profile clients refused to stay there and his golf clubs and hotels in more liberal-leaning
Areas appear to have declined in business and in some instances revenue
But the Trump International Hotel in Washington DC. Which Trump opened while campaigning for the presidency?
has flourished
According to The Wall Street, Journal the hotel brought in 18 million in revenue in the first four months of 2017 in part by hiking
It made a nearly 2 million profit during that time period despite budgeting for a 2.1 million loss
The hotel has become a sort of White House extension since the president took office
Foreign dignitaries lobbyists Republican lawmakers often visit the hotel in hopes of getting in Trump's good graces
The Washington Post in May sent reporters to the hotel every day where they spotted a range of figures and organizations
including former Trump campaign adviser Corey Lewandowski business groups promoting Turkish American relations and former
New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani
Jimmy Carter put his peanut farm into a blind trust that had the power to sell it Noah bookbinder
Director of the bipartisan watchdog group Citizens for responsibility and ethics crew in Washington recently told Vox
It wasn't as though human foreign powers or lobbyists trying to hang out at the peanut farm to try and influence the president
It didn't have that kind of mixing of business and the office
To a large extent Trump's presidency marks the first time such an ethical conundrum has been seen in the White House
It's also shown that the rules governing presidential ethics and conflicts of interest are more guidelines or norms and enforceable laws
Cruz sued the president in January claiming that Trump's business interests were causing conflicts of interest and violating the US
Constitution specifically the foreign emoluments clause which prohibits Trump from receiving anything of value from foreign governments
Month a federal judge dismissed the case and the flow of foreign dignitaries
lawmakers and Trump allies through the Trump hotel lobby continues unabated
Our statement as released from Mikkel DeMille in court is accurate, and there is nothing more to add said Trump International Hotel
Spokeswoman Patricia tang in an email there is no conflict of interest
Thank you for watching for the follow-up subscribe to the channel yourself here these were real problems
You look at the things that they did and holder protecting the president
And I have great respect for that it will be honest. I have great respect for that breed that again
Trump's premised in this section appears to be that President Obama engaged in a wide array of criminal
undemocratic and negligent behaviors
But his attorney general protected him from justice and Trump's conclusion is that Obama's Attorney General did his job well?
To Trump the Attorney General dose and served the country or the Constitution
But the President Trump does not know what he dost know and he over estimates what he does know
The interview is not done. I know more about the big Bill's than any president. That's ever been in office
Whether it's health care and taxes especially taxes
And if I didn't I couldn't have persuaded 200 you ask mark meadows inaudible
I couldn't have persuaded 100 congressmen to go along with the bill the first bill. You know that was ultimately
Shockingly rejected. I know the details of taxes better than anybody better than the greatest CPA
I know the details of health care better than most
Better than most and if I didn't I couldn't have talked all these people into doing ultimately only to be rejected in
Psychology there's an idea known as the dunning-kruger effect
it
Refers to research by David Dunning and Justin Kruger that found the least competent people often believe they are the most competent because they lack
The very expertise needed to recognize how badly they're doing this dynamic helps explain
Comments like the one Trump makes year over the course of reporting on the Trump White House
I have spoken to people who briefed Trump and people who have been briefed by him
I've talked to policy experts who have sat in the Oval Office
Explaining their ideas to the President and to members of Congress who have listened to the president sell his ideas to them
I've talked to both Democrats and Republicans
Who have occupied these roles in all cases their judgment of Trump is identical?
He is not just notably uninformed, but also notably difficult to inform his attention span is thin
He hears what he wants to hear he wanders off topic he has trouble following complex arguments
Trump has trouble following these briefings or even correctly repeating what he has heard
This is all perfectly evident if you listen to Trump discuss policy in public momentarily for instance in this same
New York Times interview he tries to explain how he's changed Obamacare so now I have associations I have private insurance
Companies coming and will sell private health care plans to people through associations
That's gonna be millions and millions of people
People have no idea how big that is and by the way and for that we've ended across state lines so we have competition
You know fur that I am allowed to inaudible state lines, so that's all done now
I've ended the individual mandate and the other thing
I wish you tell people so when I do this and we've got health care
You know McCain did is vote dot we've created associations millions of people are joining
Associations millions that were formerly in a Bama care or didn't have insurance or didn't have health care
Millions of people that's gonna be a big bill you watch it could be as high as 50% of the people you watch
So that's a big thing and the individual mandate
so now you have associations and people don't even talk about the
Association's that could be half the people are going to be joining up with private inaudible
So now you have associations in the individual mandate
I can with some effort untangle what Trump might have been trying to say here, but it's incoherent
So suffused with have related ideas and personal obsessions
Why did Trump feel the need to bring up McCain's vote here that it's hard to say for sure at best
Trump is saying something that is comprehensible but incorrect he signed an executive order making it easier to form Association health plans
Which our health plans formed by groups of small businesses and making it easier for those plans to skirt to them occurs insurance
Regulations and to contain small businesses from multiple states as of now and Trump doesn't seem to realize this
It's just an executive order the rules defining and implementing it have not been written, so it is not yet happening
And we don't know how it will work in practice much less how many people may eventually sign up nor does the order
Actually get rid of the prohibition on selling insurance across state lines for most people
It's only for this one kind of plan which will only serve a tiny minority of the health insurance market
Whatever Trump is saying it does not reveal much fun
Garetty with health policy or even with the status and limits of his own actions and yet Trump believes himself on
Policy to be the most informed president in American history as the dunning-kruger effect suggests
He doesn't know how much he doesn't know and that combined with his natural tendency toward narcissism has left in dangerously
overconfident in his own knowledge base speaking of narcissism
We're going to win another four years for a lot of reasons most
Importantly because our country is starting to do well again, and we're being respected again
But another reason that I am going to win another four years is because newspapers
Television all forms of media will tank if I am NOT THERE because without me their ratings are going down the tubes
Without me the New York Times will indeed be not the failing New York Times, but the failed New York Times
so they basically have to let me win and
Eventually probably six months before the election they'll be loving me because they're saying please please
Don't lose Arnold Trump. What is one even to say about this isn't a joke if so
Why is Trump taking this opportunity to make it is it an attack on the media is it Trump finding another way to?
Compliment himself to give himself credit for the media's success imagine
How we would react to literally any other president speaking like this Trump has bludgeoned us into becoming accustomed to these kinds of comments
But that too is worrying. This is the President of the United States speaking to the New York Times his comments are by turns
incoherent incorrect
conspiratorial
delusional self aggrandizing and under-informed
this is not a partisan judgment indeed the interview is rarely coherent or specific enough to classify the points Trump makes on a
Recognizable left-right spectrum as has been true since he entered American politics Trump is interested in Trump over the course of the interview
He mentions his electoral college strategy seven times in each case using it to
Underscore his political savvy and to suggest that he could easily have won the popular vote if he had tried I am NOT a medical
Professional and I will not pretend to know what is truly happening here
It's become a common conversation topic in Washington to muse on whether the president is suffering from some form of cognitive decline
psychological malady
I don't think those hypotheses are necessary or meaningful
Whatever the cause it is plainly obvious from Trump's words that this is not a man fit to be President that he is not well
