(1) No, it's not a conflict of interest to own stock in a company you're profiting from.

(2) It is possible for him to financially back Drinks Americas. However, his financial interest in their success is only one of charity since all of his profits from the parternship will be going to charity so it is probably not in his best interest to loan the company money other than the interest he'd make on the loan which probably isn't as lucrative as putting the same money toward his real estate ventures.

(3) I don't think he's going to financially back them unless they desperately need it and can't get any other form of financing. I could be wrong, but I don't think Trump is in the money-lending business. I don't recall him lending a dime to his casinos to help them out, but I may be dead wrong about that.
