Wbat a coincidence...
Per 8 linked tweets from ThinkProgress editor Judd Legum, beginning with this one, just scroll down the page:
Link to tweet
Among those tweets:
One reminding people that the Kuwaiti Embassy apparently felt pressured back in December to move their planned party from the Four Seasons to Trump's new hotel.
Legum is not sure that Trump is dropping by the Kuwaiti party, but says the message is still clear, that if foreign governments hold their lavish events at his hotel, he might drop by.
And while Trump is in the hotel, the press pool is being kept outside, in vans, not allowed to observe and report.
