TRUMP'S WASHINGTON HOTEL

TRUMP’S WASHINGTON HOTEL faces a cash crunch due to the coronavirus pandemic. The hotel has kept most of its employees on furlough since March, but didn’t cut their health benefits initially. That changed at the beginning of June, according to a letter from hotel management viewed by the Journal. Associates who had Cigna health insurance through their employment at the hotel were given three days notice, according to the date on the May 28 letter, that the company would no longer offer health benefits, because reopening hadn’t come as quickly as it hoped. A planned sale of the property has also been put on pause by the pandemic.

“We have an incredibly strong company and are very proud to be able to support our associates during this pandemic in ways that many other businesses could not,” said Trump Organization head Eric Trump, the president’s son.

Pity that the largest legal denomination is now $100. They'll need thousands of leather suitcases to exchange in some park along the Potomac.

I do remember fondling a $1,000 note. And seeing larger.

But I'm sure the printing presses overseas and local are running hot. I've heard that 1 in 10 $20 bill is counterfeit. Bet it's higher than that.

Still, keep sending your taxes/tithes to these high-thieves/shamans/politicians. I'm sure it'll buy another apres-diner drink for the swamp critters.
