[Senator Clay Davis]

I'm guessing most people would be happy if Trump only lost $1.1 million for America. Since it figures to be at a minimum 10,000 times that number....yikes

Donald Trump’s Washington hotel lost more than $1.1 million in its first two months, according to figures that the federal agency that leases the property gave to House Democrats.

The Pennsylvania Avenue hotel, which Trump leases from the General Services Administration, trailed its revenue projections by almost $2.3 million in September and October, House Democrats said in a letter today, citing documents provided by the GSA.

In the letter, sent to the agency’s acting administrator, Democratic Reps. Elijah Cummings, Peter DeFazio, Gerald Connolly and Andre Carson argued that Trump violated the terms of his lease once he became president because it doesn’t allow elected officials to benefit. They asked the agency to turn over its correspondence with Trump’s company and to show how it’s addressing the issue.

"Our hope has always been that President Trump would resolve these breach-of-lease and conflict of interest issues prior to being sworn in as President on January 20,” the Democrats said. "Unfortunately, President Trump has refused to address these concerns, and taxpayer dollars may now be squandered as career public servants are forced to take remedial action to cure this breach.”

The Trump Organization and the GSA didn’t immediately answer requests for comment.
