Donald Trump is about to find out you cant run government like a business

[mobeau69]

Trump, it's worth emphasizing, has never run a Fortune 500 corporation. No board of directors of any company has at any point even considered hiring Trump as a CEO. He did have a stint running a publicly traded company that he started during the 1990s stock market mania, and it turned out (like his fake college) to be a scam, in which he enriched himself at shareholder expense.

2. "The government doesnt make a profit"

That is true. That begs another question.
Should government operate with losses?
(budget deficits). The debt is not free.
Cost of servicing the debt (interest paid out) can kill
a lot of worthwhile initiatives for lack of funding.

He is the only one to skim a profit off of them.

4. Why is his new DC hotel not conflict of interest?

I understand, after his electoral win, the DC hotel received huge amount of bookings from foreign diplomats & foreign business interests. In other words Trumpy is exploiting and benefiting in his private business with his government position. Why is this not illegal?
