    This. Any decent accountant or financial manager would know this. The fact that he made this statement at best means he’s incompetent at his job and at worst is an indication of crocodile tears.

      Yeah, things aren’t worth more than their value unless there’s sentimentality associated with it, and no one’s getting sentimental over a hotel. Nothing professional will ever value something beyond numbers, this is a gigantic embarrassment for him.

        Thing is, it wouldn’t surprise me if this guy was being sincere. Take it to be a sign of our times, but I could see this guy getting lulled into the cult unwittingly. Always remember some Trumpers know what they’re doing and others don’t; the extremists deserve the rack (figuratively, of course), but most of them just deserve a stiff smack in the head and a scolding.
