Presidential Conflicts of Interest
#1
So, I have been seeing a lot of stuff about Trump insisting on vacationing at his own resorts, I saw speculation about Trump Hotel in DC being used to host dignitaries instead of Blair House. My question is, how do we feel about this? About someone profiting from the office? I say this because we are talking about taxpayer dollars that will be flowing into the pockets of Trump when these places are utilized in this way.

It's my understanding that there was a big dust up for Carter over his peanut farm when he was POTUS because of potential conflicts of interest regarding public policy and him profiting from that. Why haven't we heard more about this regarding Trump?
