My news post ran a little long, so I saved the Donald Trump news for its own post.
CNN:
Donald Trump opened a new hotel in Washington Tuesday, the latest addition to a vast business empire that the real estate mogul rode to the Republican nomination.
The property's debut highlights the unprecedented prospect of a presidency riddled with conflicts of interest for a world-famous businessman, one whose financial stakes range from the corridors of American power to spots around the globe stretching from Panama to Dubai to South Korea.
One of Trump's central attack lines against Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton is that her family's foundation benefited from donations by foreign governments seeking to influence the then-secretary of state. The Republican nominee has slammed Clinton as possibly "the most corrupt person ever to seek the presidency" based in part on those donations."Conflict of interest" is just one of many problems for BOTH candidates. However, if I was forced to choose between them (fortunately, I can vote for Gary Johnson instead), I would lean towards Trump: Better to vote for the briber than the bribee. At least with the briber., you know what you're getting. The bribee's views can change with the latest donation.
