Touts Old Post Office redevelopment win

Trump discussed his recent selection by the GSA to redevelop the historic Old Post Office building in Washington, D.C. into a luxury hotel. He framed the project as a service to the country, stating, 'I’m going to make it into one of the great hotels of the world.' The deal would later become a focal point of emoluments concerns during his presidency due to the lease arrangement with the federal government.
