It would hurt his hotel if the current building was replaced by a competing hotel. Finally, there is an investigation of this potential corruption. This could be another example of Trump helping himself through the power of his office. Sad!

Trump owes DC in addition to what he owes El Paso
Not surprising based on his sleazy business history

Trump still owes the District of Columbia a whopping $7 million three years after his inauguration. Yet, now the city is about to hand him a blank check so he can take over the Lincoln Memorial on Independence Day.https://t.co/87Gdr8QPyY
Even though most cities absorb the safety costs that come from Trump rallies, some cities, like El Paso, Texas, say his campaign owes them more than $450,000 for things like extra police. pic.twitter.com/xGzHEzwN22

Trump lost over a billion dollars between 1985 and 1994
Another great job by the New York Times.
This destroys Trump’s phony story about what a great businessman he is.

Really big issue is how Trump survived financially after 1994. Where did he get the cash to stay afloat? That’s what is hidden in more recent tax returns. https://t.co/rraT8AANb0

His campaign has stiffed El Paso just like Trump as a businessman stiffed some contractors. Sad!

The Trump campaign has not paid the city of El Paso the more than $470,000 it was billed for the costs stemming from a rally there two months ago. The bill includes a $380,942 charge from the police department, ABC-7 reports. https://t.co/gCKopbDZaH

Yet undocumented residents pay TONS in taxes💰to finance public services they can’t/don’t even use. Most don’t get tax refunds, either.
