The Trump Organization announced plans to sell its D.C. property in October, but the market’s collapse in recent weeks has reached Trump’s firm, a company official confirmed to The Washington Post.

"We have toured only the most discerning buyers and are proud to be representing such an iconic asset,” Jeffrey Davis, a sales representative for the Trump Organization, told the Post.

“I’m very unleveraged in everything, so that’s good,” he added. “But is it hurting me? Yeah, it’s hurting me, and it’s hurting Hilton, and it’s hurting all of the great hotel chains all over the world.”
