I made a reply to another person that I think is fitting
"I don't think you understand what putting businesses in a blind trust would do. If somebody went to one of Trump's hotels it is not like he wouldn't be capable of knowing they went there. The person at the hotel could literally just call Trump from the hotel room phone and Trump could see the number and know they were at the hotel. They could also do a video call so Trump would know if they were staying at an expensive room"
Having a firewall would stop that right?
>Instead, Trump routinely steered the US govt and its guests to Trump businesses, and they were "coincidentally" charged extremely high rates -- essentially a bribe.
This is a different issue. If a blind trust held the hotels, I don't see how this would be stopped? It is not like Trump wouldn't get the money, he would just not have the records?
I think I missed this part in the article. Did they mention it?
