Republican nominee Donald Trump used the first presidential debate of the 2016 election to promote his hotel business. Trump plugged his new hotel, which opened this month just blocks from the White House in Washington, D.C., while talking about his “unbelievably happy” employees. “We’re just opening up on Pennsylvania Avenue, right next to the White House,” Trump said, referring to the 1899 Old Post Office located at 1100 Pennsylvania Avenue. “So if I don’t get there one way, I’m going to get to Pennsylvania Avenue another [way]. His campaign recently revived the controversy over his birther beliefs, only to hold a press conference about the issue at a Trump hotel ― where Trump spent more than 30 minutes talking about the building.
