WASHINGTON (AP) — President. Candidate. Businessman. Three of President Donald Trump’s roles converge next week as he holds his first re-election fundraiser at his hotel in Washington.

Trump can see the Trump International Hotel from the White House lawn, making it a premier and convenient location for the June 28 major-donor event, his campaign director Michael Glassner said.

But the choice also raises ethics questions, according to conflict of interest attorneys who have been critical of Trump’s decision not to cut financial ties with his global business empire.

Kathleen Clark, a former ethics lawyer for the District of Columbia, said that while not illegal or even unusual for Trump, it’s a bold example of self-dealing that deeply concerns some Americans.

1. Sounds like someone wants to pocket more money

its probably a scam to line his own pockets.

[secondwind]

5. Yep. That hotel is not doing so well.

[Sunlei]

14. It should be doing really well. old post office is only leased from Gov. upgrade electrics, paint

partition off rooms, bring in restaurant and staff and charge $24,000 a night.

They even gold painted over the old mail slide with the dead crow still inside. It should be very profitable Hotel even with the fear of symbolism of the Crow

6. PROBABLY?! It's BLATANT!

2. He, or one of his numerous adult children, must be short of cash for some business concern

I can't believe people could be so stupid, but this is yet more evidence against him.

[madaboutharry]

3. The great American Con Job keeps rolling along.

Trump is scam artist.

[luvMIdog]

4. for a guy who has accomplished NOTHING to be thinking about his next election is hilarious

No I don't want to actually accomplish anything for this country- I just want to campaign for my next election and collect more money

[barbtries]

10. that is what he lives for.

he cannot go long without the adulation of the cult.

[redstatebluegirl]

7. So what happens to all of this "reelection money" he is raising if he resigns

or is thrown out of office? Does he get to keep it?

[barbtries]

9. legal fees?

anyone who's fool enough to throw money at trump might as well kiss it good bye that's for sure.

[barbtries]

8. this shit boils my blood.

the corruption in your face. and nothing is done. fucking republicans are tearing down everything and they don't care and it drives me apeshit. aargh

[LittleGirl]

11. the campaign ended

on November 9th. wtf is going on here?
this is absolutely ridiculous. I hope some saner republicans stop this shit.

[niyad]

19. he formed a 2020 pac immediately after 20 jan.

[Javaman]

12. crowd funded fellatio. nt

[Sunlei]

13. His campaign paid 14 million to use his old antique Jet. Daddy needs a new jet!

Be fun to see how all try to avoid/wash 'donations' . $500 books & 10K breakfasts with Tiffany'

To actually sleep in "The post office of the sleeping crow" is very bad medicine.

[spiderpig]

15. Campaigning* with 3.5 years left in the term?

*we know it's really called lining his pockets, but who's paying attention anyway?

The gall of this creep knows no bounds.

[sinkingfeeling]

16. I've been around since Eisenhower was president and I don't think another

president has started campaigning for reelection in the first 6 months in office. It's designed to get people to only remember him.

Did I tell you how much I detest that orange yam?

[turbinetree]

17. You know what the People of this Country built that POST OFFICE with OUR TAX DOLLARS,

I think it is time to take to the streets and walk in there and throw them out. Since this feckless republican fascist congress will not do anything, maybe it is our turn.

Why, may you ask, did you or I get a dime out of this "business" I have not received any dividends for this usage, in fact not one red cent, has it helped with insurance costs, or how about feeding and clothing some soldier getting ready to go "BACK" over to that sh*t hole called Afghanistan, while is f***ing sons do whatever there chicken asses do, sure as hell won't volunteer.

And has for Kathleen Clark, its not illegal, maybe she should go back and re-read the part of the Constitution that has the word emoulment in there, after all Kathleen he is still "getting paid" by foreign as**** dignitaries curing favor with a sexual predator.

[Nitram]

18. Planning re-election while impeachment or resignation move towrds certainty.

I believe that is called "whistling in the dark." Or maybe, "total obliviousness."

20. What a racket

He'll pay himself campaign funds.
