Eric Trump: "The stars have all aligned. I think our brand is the hottest it has ever been."

[Miles Archer]

Saturday’s stops marked the eighth weekend in a row — out of the 10 weekends he has been in office — that Mr. Trump has visited a Trump-branded property, including his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach. White House officials have said Mr. Trump goes to his clubs and restaurants because he is comfortable there, but critics increasingly argue that the visits are priceless advertising and that Mr. Trump and his family are using the presidency as a way to enrich themselves.

“It is normal for presidents to get out — and it can be a boost for small businesses across the city and the country,” said Robert Weissman, the president of Public Citizen, a liberal nonprofit group. “But with President Trump, he spends his down time as a walking advertisement for his businesses. It is a major departure from historic norm and degradation of the office.”

Eric Trump, in an interview this month, disputed any suggestion that his father’s visits to family properties represented a conflict of interest. But he agreed that the Trump Organization’s assets — from Mar-a-Lago, where interest in memberships has surged, to its golf courses — were doing well.

“The stars have all aligned,” said Eric Trump, who as executive vice president of the Trump Organization oversees its 16 owned or operated golf courses around the world. “I think our brand is the hottest it has ever been.”

5. That picture you posted... Is that a human? It somehow doesn't quite look human.

Whatever that creature is, it's close enough to looking human to make it creepy.

What happens to the Trump business holdings, almost entirely based on his name when he leaves office (whether losing in 2020, or leaving office through impeachment/resignation) in disgrace with even lower approval ratings?
