on selling 'Rump brand in India. A policy speech makes his pitch much more believable.
join Mr. Donald Trump Jr. for conversation and dinner if they hand over a $38,000 booking fee for a home in the new Trump-branded properties.

Five ongoing realty projects in India with Trump organization tie-ups
NEW DELHI (Jan 08, 2017): US President-elect Donald Trump, who has rooted for India and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has business interests in India, probably bigger than in any other country outside North America. Recently, there were reports about Donald Trump dumping foreign realty projects including one in India but Trump Organization said its five active projects in India would proceed as planned.
The gross development value of the five projects is $1.5 billion.

It's just a way to get the taxpayers to pay for Don Jr.'s expenses to make a business trip. I wonder if he used a government aircraft. As far as I know, Donnie Half Scoop doesn't have an official role to play in his father's administration. I know damned well he doesn't have a security clearance.
