The former dictator was closely aligned with Russia\Putin so now that he has been dethroned and fled to Russia the USA is trying to get a foothold in the country. Everything else is just noise and BS.
Yes, the former dictator was aligned with Russia. Now that they are dethroned the new leaders are trying to form positive relations with Russia’s enemy ,the most powerful country in the world, the USA by openly offering opportunity and financial linkage to the USA’s leader. The USA is always looking for new opportunities. So yeah it makes sense.
Why not building hospitals for syrians, why not gaining a foothold through other means rather than a hotel for trump? Because that hotel only benefits him, his family and his friends, no benefits for Americans nor for syrians. Sound logic you have there.
He’s appeasing the people who put him in power and who determine whether he stays in power.
Why would he bother appealing to the American people? We don’t control foreign policy, and even if we did, the public is so fickle, ignorant, and easily manipulated that all it takes to get people to turn on him is a random unsourced tweet from a cryptobro.
The Syrians have only known dictators. In that context this is how you win over new friends and forge relationships, plus it’s only a first step. It’s a good opportunity for the USA to increase influence in the region, make a new ally, and find new business opportunities.

Gaining a foothold by building a trump tower over there? Yeah, that makes sense
