The atmosphere is grim at Trump's deserted Washington DC hotel as the MAGA crowd skips town, says report

Trump's Washington hotel has suffered a loss of income and interest, a Guardian report says.
The hotel is bearing the brunt of the pandemic and the fallout of Trump's election defeat.
The former president once dubbed it "one of the great hotels of the world."


When the hotel, located between the White House and the US Capitol, opened its doors four years ago, it quickly became a major draw for diplomats, lobbyists, Trump loyalists, and family members. The hotel's steak restaurant was regularly fully booked, a former executive chef told CNN last month.

But since Trump left the White House and moved his base to the Mar-A-Lago resort in Florida, the atmosphere has been eerily quiet. One week after President Biden's inauguration, the lobby was left largely vacant and waiters and staff members outnumbered the customers, the New York Times reported.


Sally Quinn, a local journalist who has written about the hotel, told the Guardian she "can't imagine who goes there now."

"We don't even have tourists yet in Washington. I can't imagine most people staying there when they come. I don't know anybody who goes there or has gone there," Quinn said.

Hotel staff has also confirmed that the number of visitors has dropped visibly.

One staffer, who did not want to be named, told CNN: "Since the coronavirus, we weren't doing so bad until I'd say probably a month ago. It really, like, slowed down."

1. Can you imagine the uproar if Biden owned a hotel in DC

FOX news would literally be shitting itself

[Demovictory9]

3. ... Obama owning a DC hotel and naming daughter as advisor.. Faux news would report on nothing else

[Rhiannon12866]

4. Especially if he wore a tan suit, chewed gum or wore a bicycle helmet!

[JI7]

7. And it would be a huge controversy if the relative of someone

that worked for Biden had stayed there.

11. Fucker Carlson clearly does based on that expression of his.

2. The Trump brand has lost its luster

Hopefully for good.

5. Funny thing about the timing. Let me take a guess.....

Business dropped off right around the time when Trump could no longer get the Federal Government or the Republican Party to stage events there at inflated room and meal prices. Am I getting warm?

6. What happened to all the Saudi princes?

Leaving $1 million tips on a $1000 room? Imagine what a great hotel it must be when people “tip” that much!!!

8. Do you suppose there are people in management who...

...are mystified why the guests suddenly vanished? I mean, it's still the same great place it alway was, right?

[Bucky]

12. I can only imagine people who take management jobs there...

...are either ridiculously apolitical, utterly desparate, or total right wing tools.

The customers who go there must essentially have a surf mentality. "We're going to DC and, oh joy, we must utilize this opportunity to give too much money to the gilded jackass who tried to overthrow our government. Yay."

9. Maybe Louis DeJoy could rent a few rooms

With postal service expense accounts, well, at least until he is fired too.

10. Fired?

But then they wouldn't have time to "get used to him!"

13. Biden needs to hasten the FBI move to the burbs

https://www.americanoversight.org/investigation/trumps-interference-in-the-fbi-headquarters-relocation-plan

A plan to relocate the FBI headquarters to the Washington, D.C., suburbs was surprisingly scrapped in favor of the far costlier option of rebuilding at its existing site — which happens to sit a block away from the Trump International Hotel. American Oversight is investigating what influence the White House and the Trump Organization might have had over a decision that ensures a huge city block remains free of competition for the president’s hotel.

14. cut out the whistles and bells...

Offer typical family size prices and the same quality menu.....

Tout the restaurant as the former gathering place

for the rad right....Portraits on the walls. One of

stumpy with that stupid grin..Under it a plague,

....."..killer of thousands"...maybe one of McConnell,

...."1%ers chief lap dog , obstruction of Justice pro"..

They'll make a killing with the new crowd in town..of course

the irs will own it after the tax returns get red stamped....

[PCIntern]

15. Plague or Plaque?

Either way it works...
