Trump sons take helm of company, eye domestic expansion
By JONATHAN LEMIRE
Today
NEW YORK (AP) Apprentices no more, Eric and Donald Trump Jr. are now at the helm of the Trump Organization and adjusting to the reality presented by their father's presidency. They're eyeing ways to use the new lease on the family fame by expanding the brand into parts of the United States that embrace him.
Some business has slowed as a result of the pledge to stall international dealmaking while Trump is president. But a U.S. push is planned, and two new hotel chains are being considered a four-star brand and a less luxurious line possibly in states where Trump triumphed over Democrat Hillary Clinton last November.
"I think it makes it naturally easier if you're going into a place that's not adversarial to you," Donald Trump Jr. said in a recent interview.
The Trump Organization is a private, family-run business that owns billions of dollars' worth of hotels, office buildings, golf courses and management and licensing agreements. Although foreign deals are on hold, the company will complete existing projects, including ones in India, the United Arab Emirates and the Dominican Republic.

should complain loudly about how tacky, criminal and unethical their 'brand' is. They should be shamed and mocked, until their goddamned precious piece of shit 'brand' goes broke.
Their Merde a GoGo kitchen had how many health code violations? They probably have bedbugs too. And who knows what would show under UV lights in their rooms. They probably have hidden cameras too. Pure scum.
