Trump aides concerned president keeps pitching foreign leaders on his resorts and real estate deals: report

Following Donald Trump folding on holding next year’s G7 summit at his Doral golf resort, that has the president whining, Politico reports that the president spends a great deal of his time talking about his real estate deals and properties when he speaks with foreign leaders — which is setting off alarms with some of his close aides.

According to the report, “Trump constantly brags about his properties around the globe when he speaks with foreign leaders in person or by phone, even more than the public instances witnessed out in the open, according to three people familiar with Trump’s conversations with foreign officials. The remarks are permeating every membrane of his presidency so much that they’ve left aides and allies mastering verbal jiu-jitsu to defend his unprecedented approach to fusing personal business interests with his position in high office.”

The report notes that those conversations — like his Ukraine phone call where he mixed government business with seeking personal gain in the form of dirt on a political opponent — could lead to more charges of self-dealing as the president faces impeachment.

“He talks up his properties every chance he gets with anyone — with staff, with members of Congress, with the press, with the public, with foreign leaders, with anyone,” explained a former White House official. “That’s what he has done. He’s been a salesman. He’s been a PR person for his properties for the last 50 years, so almost out of force of habit, that’s what he does.”

1. Mulvaney said it today.

He still thinks of his business as hospitality.

2. I wonder if he's doing it on purpose

or if he can't help it because the behavior is so rampant.

3. This malignant and whinning toad doesn't respect the Executive branch of government and clearly...

is trying to profit off the office. No one else clearly deserves successful impeachment more than he, being grossly unfit for office and not performing duties as he should be...

5. Initially I think that's why he wanted to run

Well at least after he loses or is impeached his "followers" can still go stay in one of his crappy hotels. If they can afford it.

4. He loves talking about his property with foreign leaders...

To the point that it may be a national security risk.

6. Of course it is!

He couldn't care less.

7. course he has to talk about his buildings since he doesn't know anything about anything else.

What is he going to do with foreign leaders, talk policy?
He knows nothing about everything.
