:: to acquire the hotel lease ::
So, property not changing hands.
Trump still owns the property and is leasing it to Hilton.
Lefties will try to spin it but this is a smart move in the face of a changing culture/economy.
Let someone else absorb any operating costs in the future.
Wonder why Conrad Black wasn’t interested?
POTUS sold the 60 year lease he had with the National Park Service. Apparently he no longer owns it.

The property is a former post office. I think the federal government still owns it.
