Inside Trump’s new DC hotel: Lobbyists sip $100 vodka cocktails while rooms still sit empty



According to Bloomberg News, the pricey hotel, that opened with great fanfare just a dozen days before the 2016 election has become a hub for Republican lawmakers, lobbyists and various current and former Trump associates where they can indulge in $100 vodka cocktails.

Bloomberg notes that, during their visit, $600 rooms at the former Old Post Office — built in 1899 — are available while the nearby Ritz-Carlton and Four Seasons hotels were booked up. If your taste is for something a bit more pricey than a $600 room, you can always upgrade to a suite named after first Daughter Ivanka Trump that goes for about $940 a night.

The report notes that hotel is literally dripping on gold, with hotel bathrooms fitted with “gold-colored door handles, towel racks, soap dishes, faucets, showerheads, mouthwash bottle caps, tissue holders, mirror frames, wall art, light fixtures, trash cans, toilet paper dispensers, and backup toilet paper holders.”

To help pay for all of that gold — and put money in the president’s pocket — you can order a $110 porterhouse for two or a $16 tarragon lobster fondue, enjoy a $340 couples massages in a spa also named for Ivanka Trump, or have your diamonds whitened for a price.

Melania looks miserable. She should gain 30 pounds, then maybe donald will leave her alone or set her free.

Or am I reading your post wrong. I've had my favorite brother and my only sister die of melanoma skin cancer, so if your post is about something other then melanoma skin cancer, then I'm missing your post.

12. Considering how universally "loved" the Bronx Bigmouth is...

I can't help but wonder how many Precious Bodily Fluids (contributed by his own employees) he's ingested over the years at his own hotels and golf resorts.

"Thank you, sir. We created it just for you."
