Despite its prime location, and presumably steep price, it remained empty.
Often those countries were trying to influence the US government. An investigation found Trump’s hotel earned about $3.75 million from the visits.

ABC News said ownership of the plane would be transferred to the Trump presidential library foundation at the conclusion of his term, meaning he could keep using it, rather than his successor.
The interior of the 747-8 jet was photographed when it was at Palm Beach International Airport earlier this year, an occasion when Trump took the opportunity to take a look for himself.

There is also another area with a sofa and cushions and what appears to be a large TV set affixed to the wall. (The Qataris may have remembered this president enjoys little more than watching himself on Fox News.)
Democrats have condemned the gift as nothing less than corruption. Many have pointed out that after winning reelection, the president embarked on a series of steps that appear set to benefit him financially, including establishing his own cryptocurrency the day before he was inaugurated.

Doha has become an increasingly important strategic player in the region – it recently hosted talks between the various parties seeking a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
We know that Trump – about to embark on a Middle East trip that will take in Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, likes shiny things. When he visited Saudi in his first term, he was awarded the Collar of Abdulaziz Al Saud, the nation’s top civilian honour, which appeared to please the president greatly.
