Fair enough, you see? Thats good reporting. You made a claim, I challenged it, you provided proof, I'll yield. You didn't vote for Obama.

He's already pulled the carrot away earlier when he promised to divest and didn't. You are just carrying his flame for you. The Constitution is more important than the runnings of a private company. If the company has to struggle to produce monthly reports showing they are donating the money, then so be it. Trump should have divested to avoid the trouble.
And on top of that, none of this addresses the fact that OTHER hotels (one of which is funded by taxpayer money) are losing profit at the expense of this hotel. There are many layers and problems with Trump's continues ownership of this hotel. You do know he is in direct violation of the lease on his building being an elected official, right?
Seriously. All I see from you is you making excuses. Where there is a will there is a way, and we need to be demanding that way not letting Trump do things at his own pace.
As far as other hotels losing profit...that is the nature of capitalism. Instead of blaming Trump and his hotel...perhaps they need to rethink their marketing strategy to increase their profit margins.

Trumps hotels have a system set up to track foreign income and to donate it to the US Treasury.
I can't paste a link right now, but it was covered by some media.

Thank you for the source!
I am on my phone right now and could not easily source.
The problem begins with identifying who is a representative of a foreign government, the pamphlet says. That would require asking every guest of Trump hotels, along with guests of affiliated bars, restaurants, and spas, if they represent a foreign government. And that “would impede upon personal privacy and diminish the guest experience of our brand,” the pamphlet says.

And this thread isn't? It's a breaking news thread where I posted a news article relaying a factual account of the lawsuit and you guys are just using it as an excuse to bitch about liberals, ad hominem me, and strawman my political history (as I just proved) instead of discuss the lawsuit. Pft don't talk to me about journalistic integrity.
