If it’s a corporate ownership, then Trump doesn’t have personal ownership and never did.

It's not a corporation, it's a privately held company. Whatever The Trump Organization owns, Trump owns.

Obama obviously has nothing better to do.

Obama had nothing to do with it. Trump signed the lease years before he decided to run for president.

so much for these RATS' concern:

The Democrats’ letter comes a day after the head of Office of Government Ethics wrote to Democratic Senator Tom Carper that Trump’s current plans don’t meet ethical standards but that the president is exempt from the relevant conflicts-of-interests laws that apply to other executive branch officials.

If this is true, then how could Trump’s lawyers have missed this?

He wasn't running for president at the time.

How about Trump the President can decide to SELL excess Federal holdings?

How many years was that Post Office closed?

IIRC, the Clintons have been collecting rent from the building that the Secret Service occupies during off shift hours at Chappequa. Quite a hefty ‘rent’, also.

Just as they have from both Bush presidents, Mrs. Reagan, and Jimmy Carter.

Yeah ... and besides, who cares what this lame, fractionally-black, infirmative action duck thinks about anything anyway? I surely don't!

Bloomberg is calling it an LLC.

http://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapid=344985

I’m no lawyer, so I don’t know the difference between an LLC and a regular corporation, if any.

LLC Advantages (http://www.limitedliabilitycompanycenter.com/llc_advantages.html)

A limited liability company (LLC) has many advantages as a form of business entity:

Pass-through taxation - under the default tax

classification, profits taxed at the member level, not at the LLC level (i.e., no double taxation).

Limited liability - the owners of the LLC, called “members,” are protected from liability for acts and debts of the LLC.

With “check-the-box” taxation, an LLC can elect to be taxed as a sole proprietor, partnership, S-corp or corporation, providing much flexibility.

Can be set up with just one natural person involved or, in some states, one owner which may be an entity itself.

No requirement of an annual general meeting for shareholders (in some states, such as Tennessee and Minnesota, this statement is not correct).

No loss of power to a board of directors (although an operating agreement may provide for centralization of management power in a board or similar body).

LLCs are enduring legal business entities, with lives that extend beyond the illness or even death of their owners, thus avoiding problematic business termination or sole proprietor death.

Much less administrative paperwork and recordkeeping.

Membership interests of LLCs can be assigned, and the economic benefits of those interests can be separated and assigned, providing the assignee with the economic benefits of distributions of profits/losses (like a partnership), without transferring the title to the membership interest (e.g., see Virginia and Delaware LLC Acts).

I don't believe he got his law license back.

And he gave up his license because he wouldn't be practicing. Not a big deal at all. They have to be renewed periodically and many states now require mandatory education to renew.
