The newspaper said one of the reasons the company is considering the sale is criticism that the Trump Organization is violating ethics laws by profiting from the hotel. "People are objecting to us making so much money on the hotel, and therefore we may be willing to sell," Eric Trump told the Journal. "Since we opened our doors, we have received tremendous interest in this hotel and as real-estate developers, we are always willing to explore our options," he added.
