Every third day of his presidency, Trump has stopped by a Trump-branded property

Love for the United States notwithstanding, Trump has only been west of the Mississippi once since being inaugurated. He has been to his golf club in Sterling, Va., 15 times.

In fact, the trip to Trump Tower was his 47th visit to a Trump property as president, following an 11-day visit to Bedminster. In total, Trump has visited a Trump-branded property on 69 individual days of his presidency, out of 208 days total. That is 33 percent of all of the days he has been president, or once every three days. He has visited a Trump property on all or part of more than half of the days in July and August.

needed by the members of the president's security detail and his staff when they are with him at his various hotels and resorts?

Conflict of interest? Uh-uh, otherwise, why doesn't Trump share the wealth and book into other hotels?
