UPDATED: Trump’s DC hotel — a symbol of the blurred lines between his govt and his biz — lost $71 million while he was in office, new docs show. washingtonpost.com/business/2021/…
Does this mean concerns about Trump mixing business and govt were/are overblown? I’d say no — a POTUS who’s losing money could be more open to conflicts of interest than one who’s raking it in.
Trump’s out of office, so why do we care now?
If he does run for office again, we want to understand his financial situation: successes, money-losers, debts and/or potential points of leverage. All those could have changed since 2016 — or even 2020.

One thing that really stands out is that Trump’s pre-politics splurge on huge hotels has not gone well. Doral, Turnberry, DC — his biggest, newest properties have all struggled.
