The issue isn't that Trump makes a profit from his hotels, it's that campaign contributions from average Americans pay for his wine and water which he profits from.
As stated its not strictly illegal, just unethical. Though an argument could be made, If you're going to contribute to his campaign you get what you deserve/want, that is making Trump a wealthier man.
Anyone going to argue campaign contributor money couldn't be better spent than 400k to rent out his own Florida home?
The real issue is....Folks don't like Trump....And they will spend a large amount of time stating they do not like Trump over and over again....Every now and again (about every three days) I will hop back on here to defend him.....
Mainly because he is an underdog...He is hated by establishment Republicans, Democrats, the media, SJW's, etc.....I tend to root for underdogs and the folks he is angering are the folks that get on my nerves...Plus I love good political theater and he is, in my opinion, the person best qualified to take on the Clinton Machine...
Our panties get in a wad because the same people that will drop $20,000 to go to a real estate seminar thinking they will get rich quick are the same people that will sue when it doesn't happen....We are a nation of snake oil peddlers....Henry Ford managed to convince us we all needed an automobile...GE convinced us to get off the front porch and get into the A/C....I have been snookered, hoodwinked, bamboozled etc...a few times in my life...When that happens I nod a salute to the person who did it and I live and learn from my mistake....We have become a nation that sues over hot coffee and actually believed the sea monkeys in the back of the comic books really looked like the ad we saw....How many kids bought X-ray glasses thinking they could finally see the girls at their school the way the Good Lord made them????
How does the Trump University business compare to the Clinton Foundation???? Is Chelsea worth the $700,000 a year salary??? Who knows???? But I do think this uproar over Trump University is a joke...
IMHO as always and with respect Jamil....
