mr. president. sorry. at that property trump and his kids actually leased the hotel from the federal government. their landlord is a federal agency called the general services administration. the llc is called old post office. this is an old post office. general services administration owns the property. they re leasing it to trump. he pays rent basically so he can operate this hotel there. any day now mr. trump is expected to name the new person who he s putting in charge of the general services administration. which charges him rent for that hotel. think he s going to get a good deal? you think that person he appoints to have that agency might be inclined to maybe negotiate really good lease terms for mr. trump s property? cheaper rent for trump and his kids so they can make even more money off that hotel which he will make more money off because he is president.
even just that alone, that it is a rollicking in your face conflict of interest that there s no way ethically speaking that, that mr. trump should be allowed to appoint a head of the general services administration. you can t appoint your own landlord. but at least he s going to try. what guidelines trump may follow as he sets up his new administration. so far they ve made no announcement about a code of ethics that they re using for any of their hiring, the transition process itself continues to be, by all appearances mostly a bust thus far. as yet the trump transition team does not appear to have actually made contact or started any transition process whatsoever with any agency of the federal government. as of tonight, they have made no contact with any agencies. that includes the state
