Just wondering what yall think
Edit: Some rates as high as $650 per night per room for secret service. Tax dollars going straight into Trumps pocket.

If the Trump Hotel is charging market rates (or even better, government contract rate), there is the potential there (why choose Trump over competitors), but I doubt there is an actual conflict.
He's comfortable there. There are advantages to the campaign there. As long as it isn't something outside market rates, I'm not sure of the big problem here.
I mean, it's not like he's building/renovating a guest house on his property to charge outrageous rates to the Secret Service who have to pay it because they have to protect him, right? That's kind of dirty pool.
But, a guy running for President, runs a hotel chain, he's going to want to stay at his chain, right? I think the hotel should quote him an actual cost figure just to eliminate any potential (and maybe they are ), but I think this is a mountain out of a molehill.

No, he has removed himself from all operational control.
But do you know what is a conflict of interest?
Being a US Senator who is running for POTUS and voting in the impeachment trial.

Considering that other venues have been proven time and time again to overcharge the trump campaign when compared to what was charged to the Obama administration; then it makes complete sense for him to negate said discrimination via any means necessary.

As long as the campaign is paying no more than the going rate, then no. It's not taxpayer money and the campaign has to stay somewhere.
ETA: Do you lay awake at night searching for a reason to be offended by President Trump?

Is it a conflict of interest if Bernie’s campaign spends money with Bernie’s wife’s ad agency?

With all the deranged lunatics out there like yourself , wherever he’s safest is best.
