Trump spends precious campaign time promoting his businesses

WASHINGTON — Donald Trump's campaign is defending his eyebrow-raising decision to spend precious campaign time promoting his business in the final days of the long presidential campaign as his poll numbers sink.

With less than two weeks left before Election Day, the Republican candidate is taking a break from campaigning Wednesday morning to formally open his new hotel in Washington. Meanwhile, he is dispatching his running mate, Mike Pence, to play political defense in Utah — which hasn't backed a Democrat for president in 52 years.

Trump's hotel stop follows a visit Tuesday to another of Trump's properties, the Doral golf course outside Miami. The odd travel schedule less than two weeks before the Nov. 8 election illustrates a Republican ticket pulled in two directions while Democrat Hillary Clinton surges.

Trump's campaign manager defended the stops, arguing that rival Hillary Clinton took time off to prepare for the debates and that stops at Trump's hotels highlight his business experience.

The MSM often fails to note the blatant conflicts of interest that a President Trump would face, and that continue to infect his campaign.

1. Is Trump using campaign funds and resources

to pay for his hotels' promotional events???

but, he will claim otherwise.

2. The successful billionaire has Priorities!

Somebody knows he's lost the election!

It's going to be fun watching him try to salvage what's left of his business. His brand is permanently tarnished and people don't want to work with him. Many of his hotel workers are openly supporting Hillary and are looking for new jobs for when he fires them.

4. Trump no longer cares much about the campaign-Free air time is now is primary goal-may be keeping

the campaign going only for that purpose.

He is deceiving his voters.

5. He has his priorities.

First and foremost, him and his money.

6. Hmmm, do you think he knows something? Like, for example....

Maybe he knows what he'll be doing come November 9th?

(i.e. pretty much the same thing he's doing now)
