To curry favor with the president, do business with his family.

On Monday, the Trump Organization announced the launch of a new hotel chain inspired by the experiences President Donald Trump’s adult sons, Eric and Donald Jr., had while traveling the country during their father’s presidential campaign.
The so-called “American Idea” chain is beginning with three hotels in Mississippi, a state Trump won by 18 points, according to the Washington Post. Mississippi is also home to the first dozen new “Scion” hotels owned by the Trump Organization, which continues to be owned by the president. Days after the inauguration, the Trump Organization announced plans to triple the number of Trump-branded hotels in the country.
On Tuesday, Eric and Don Jr. — both of whom promised to distance themselves from their father’s administration — were on Good Morning America to talk about their new hotels and defend their dad.
At one point, reporter Tom Llamas asked Don Jr., “Critics may say, ‘American Idea, you’re going to build hotels in Trump country’ — are you trying to make money off the politics?’”

Spokesman Tom Bodette for "American Idea" hotels. Please disregard the chalk outlines on the floor, and the crime scene tape across the door of your room. They're................MOVIE PROPS..........yeah, that's the ticket! 
the Trump "brand"is definitely going to take a YUGE hit in the very near future. Of course the Trumps saw this entire Presidential thing ONLY as a way to increase their wealth, but this is going to backfire on them. Number one; most of their bedrock supporters couldn't afford to stay at an over-priced "Trump" facility. Number two; the name 'Trump' will forever be known for dishonesty and over-inflated prices, as well as sub-par quality.
It would be funny as hell if Trump went bankrupt - for the sixth time - because his vanity outreached his lack of business sense. Again. Russians don't like to lose billions of dollars, and they're a particularly nasty bunch when it comes to retribution. Even someone like the Trumps would have to be looking over their shoulders constantly. 
on Donald Jr. but on Eric all I see is a hopeless doofus completely unaware of what's going on around him. Maybe I'm wrong 
but either way they're not top-notch representatives for any business proposition.
when he said ONLY I CAN SAVE AMERICA! 
Save America from what? Respect and admiration from the rest of the world?
