Les affaires de Donald Trump fluctuent selon... Le collège électoral!!

Un petit topo intéressant dans les pages du New York Times. La présidence permet aux entreprises de Donald Trump de réaliser des profits intéressants dans certains états alors qu'on parle d'une baisse appréciable dans d'autres. Si toutes les variations ne peuvent s'expliquer par les seules tendances politiques, on ne peut nier l'impact.

 "The Trump Organization does not dispute that some properties are showing sensitivity to political factors. In June, the company introduced a line of budget-conscious hotels — the first are planned for Mississippi, which Mr. Trump won by an overwhelming margin — with a name, American Idea, that echoed the president’s campaign themes.

 But in an interview, Eric Trump, who runs the family business along with his brother Donald Jr. and a small group of veteran executives, said that there were other variables that contributed to changes in revenue, including the activities of competitors. The company owns, operates or manages 16 golf courses — a dozen of them in the United States — and a collection of office properties and smaller business ventures. There are also eight stand-alone hotels, including six in the United States, all in major cities that voted for Mrs. Clinton."
