Will Trump Attempt to Monetize the White House?

What will be the price of a personal meeting with Trump, if you are a foreign leader, for example? Perhaps swift approval for the latest Trump enterprise in the leader's country? Of course, Trump will have stepped aside from managing his businesses, so it won't benefit him immediately, of course. He'll direct you to Ivanka or Donnie for the details.

Ask yourself, "What can I do for The Donald™?" if you want a clue on how to proceed with this administration, I'm thinking.

Of course, all that will be secondary to the $500 slot machines lining the colonnade and along the walls of the oval office. Those will produce the immediate revenue, along with super high rates to stay at the White House Hotel on the third floor of the White House.

The whole Lincoln Bedroom contretemps of the Clinton years will seem like chickenfeed compared to what Trump is likely to do - after he redecorates the place to conform to the nouveau-riche Baroque whorehouse look he favors.
