When Mr. Trump stopped by the Trump International Hotel in Washington, he sometimes let managers know he was being briefed on their performance. At Mar-a-Lago, he told longtime members that he ought to raise prices on the new crowd angling to join. At Mar-a-Lago, members paid Mr. Trump to spend time at what was, ultimately, his home. Guests, even paying members, had a habit of thanking Mr. Trump for having them over. Mr. Trump has visited the Trump family’s hotels and resorts on nearly 400 days of his presidency.
