As one Trump adviser challenged me on a trip to Washington, DC, “As an American company, why won’t you agree to help the US government spy on people in other countries?” I pointed out that Trump Hotels had just opened a new property in the Middle East as well as down the street on Pennsylvania Avenue. “Are these hotels going to spy on people from other countries who stay there? It doesn’t seem like it would be good for the family business.” He nodded.
Fair point. I wonder what the President himself would say if he were asked to bug rooms in the Trump hotel by a General whom he considered loyal to the Trump presidency.
