President Trump has reportedly called off plans to host an election night event at Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., a person familiar with the plans told The New York Times.

The source told the Times that Trump will instead likely remain at the White House on Nov. 3.

This comes after the Trump campaign last weekend sent fundraiser emails to donors announcing a drawing that would give one winner, along with a guest, the chance to be flown to the nation’s capital, where they would stay for free and attend the Nov. 3 party at Trump International as VIPs.

“November 3rd will go down in history as the night we won FOUR MORE YEARS,” the email read. “It will be absolutely EPIC, and the only thing that could make it better is having YOU there.”

At a press conference Monday, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) said she was not aware at the time of party preparations at Trump International, which Washingtonian reported is sold out for election night.

[Walleye]

1. He's afraid we will change the locks while he's out of the White House

[EndlessWire]

25. LOL! n/t

[Roc2020]

53. Bam!

[Walleye]

57. And throw all of his stuff out onto the lawn !

[dragonlady]

2. He gets to keep the donations, right?

[Doodley]

3. He's been told that throwing a party while contesting the election is bad optics.

[riversedge]

4. Bad optics is seldom a worry for Trump [but you may be right]

[PJMcK]

5. Trump doesn't want to be seen as a loser

He (and his aides) know he's going to lose the election. He can't throw a "victory party" if he loses. So, he'll stay home at the White House pretending to be an engaged president.

Trump is going to be humiliated by the election results and he won't want to be seen in public when that happens.

Loser.

[SWBTATTReg]

22. Be funny if there were thousands of us out in front of the WH after trump loses, with signs made up

that say 'You're Fired!' or

'LOSER!'

[machoneman]

30. No, no, NO! The signs must say " You're the BIGGEST LOSER!"

[LiberalLovinLug]

51. I really really hope to hear those two words from Biden in his acceptance speech

That would be hilarious. And Trump, if he was watching, would recoil in panic and horror.

And Trump would do it no doubt if he won. But I think Biden is too classy and too aware not to antagonize Republicans on day one. After all Trump will have 2 and a half months to exact his revenge. (Damn that's a long transition period)

But I'd love to hear him say it regardless.

[Arazi]

6. I don't like this at all. He's preparing to go full dictator imo *shudder*

[zentrum]

24. Hmmm. Yes, I see what you mean.

[northoftheborder]

7. This news will help keep my equanimity through to election

[RAB910]

8. He's afraid they will change the locks at the White House if he loses

[central scrutinizer]

9. Boxing up the artwork he plans to steal

And sell on eBay

[JudyM]

52. My first thought, too. Start the raiding in earnest.

[bucolic_frolic]

10. "Herr Oberst, stock der Fuehrer bunker!"

"Schnell!"

[Tech]

11. Think he will get his deposit back?

[mpcamb]

14. The check already bounced.

[flibbitygiblets]

12. "flown to the nation's capital, where they would stay for free and attend the Nov. 3 party"

I just have to know...would they have been responsible for seeing their own way home?

[DENVERPOPS]

26. His donors

should have known by now it was just a typical Trump con job. Takes their money, then doesn't fulfill his part of the agreement.
Thousands of his contractors would have known, believe me........

[SallyHemmings]

33. The bus will be waiting

[Miguelito Loveless]

13. Will it play out the same way it did the last time

a dictator took to his bunker to avoid reality?

[scipan]

45. One can only hope. Nt

[mpcamb]

16. A good night to stay home, sulk and write venomous blame-filled tweets.

[Javaman]

17. nope, he's packing his bags and warming up his jet.

I'm not saying he's going to skip, but I wouldn't put it past the cowardly piece of shit.

[not_the_one]

37. Bingo.

He can't stand being a loser. And each day his loss is going to get bigger and bigger. His thin skin can't take it.

He doesn't do shit, and has proven that ANY FUCKING ONE CAN BE PRESIDENT. Or at least "fill the position".

He will have his bags packed by Tuesday, and the jet warmed up and ready to go, Tuesday night.

Which is why it is imperative that SOMEONE makes sure those plane tires stay FLAT.



We have an orange jumpsuit, and a 6' X 8' cell with a complimentary can of GOLD spray paint ready for his "rehabilitation". Orange on orange sitting atop a spray gold toilet is his just desert.

[Bonhomme Richard]

18. They are cowards and they want...

as much security protection they can get. Maybe he had a Mussellini premonition.

[Javaman]

19. could also be that no one RSVP'd, because he's a covid spreading shit head nt

[Javaman]

20. Later that night, after the loss, a dejected trump bent on revenge, set fire to the curtains in the

Lincoln bedroom. He was last seen on top of the flaming white house screaming, "top of the world, Ma, top of the world!".

[Blue Owl]

21. Trouble, Simpson?

[NCjack]

23. Grifter figured out how to make money on a non-appearance!

[packman]

27. Wonder about two things-

1. Will he give a congratulatory shout out and a concession speech?

2. Will he ride that gold-gilded escalator again?

[area51]

28. "... remain [barricaded] at the White House on Nov. 3."

There, fixed it.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

29. .

[Fritz Walter]

31. Since he's read Mein Kampf

Maybe he'll be playing out this scene from the movie, "Downfall."

[SWBTATTReg]

39. This was great!! Thank you for sharing w/ us on DU. Absolutely great!!

[DeschutesRiver]

44. Oh gosh too funny

Thanks so much for link!

[NoRoadUntravelled]

32. Maybe he feels safer in a building with a bunker.

nt

[LittleGirl]

35. Boo hoo Lol eom

[Turbineguy]

36. Good thinking

Why trash the hotel when you can trash the White House?

[Mr. Sparkle]

38. He needs the money for the Supreme Court cases. He knows its the only way he can stay in office!

By robbing millions of their vote!

[Norbert]

40. I'm thinking he'll be taking the redeye to Moscow that evening

[Auggie]

41. Same behavior from 2016 -- he's expecting to lose and chose the cheap celebration

[Mr.Bill]

42. I wouldn't be surprised

if the Secret Service had security concerns about a party at the hotel.

[58Sunliner]

43. All about security. He can't cover all the bases at a hotel that is full of guests.

One bomb and he's gone.

[Lonestarblue]

46. Trump should have sold the lease on his DC hotel already.

It will likely be worth a lot less on November 4. After the election, Republican donors and party leaders will have no reason to stay there and pay his exorbitant rates. Nor will foreign dignitaries who are willing to pay for many rooms never used to bribe Trump to do favors for them. Of course, no one is traveling much right now anyway. I’m surprised his hotel is even open.

[More_Cowbell]

47. He doesn't want the media showing his loss

He can control access to the WH better than to the hotel, I think.

[Roland99]

48. He should be forced to turn over his passport!

[George II]

49. Typical. He ran a "fundraiser" to dupe his supporters claiming he'll invite one of them...

....to the party. He collected the dough and then cancelled the event for which everyone was responding.

Just like he stiffed arenas where he had rallies.
Just like he stiffed contractors after they did their work.
Just like he stiffed furniture suppliers after they delivered.
Just like he stiffed AMERICANS after they "elected" them.

[IronLionZion]

50. He should gas up the jet and flee to Russia

Unless it's going to be a Berlin bunker situation like in WW2. Or he's more worried it will be like Mussolini or Ceaușescu.

[JudyM]

54. If there's any vote-shifting going on behind the scenes, he wants to be up to the minute on it.

[Roc2020]

55. He knows he will lose and his mind is turning

to the scenario of being a broke prisoner Inmate #45.

[Ligyron]

56. They finally got polls close enough to election day to know they're for sure going to lose.

Lose in terms of the number of votes needed to win in each of the states that is. But that's just an inconvenience.

Now the real work begins and they have to get on it that very night attempting to subvert the will of the people.

So it's all hands on deck at the White House Issuing ridiculous Executive Orders and making unhinged last minute, CT level assertions against Democrats.

[DeminPennswoods]

58. DC has an indoor capacity gathering limit

which I'm sure Trump would have no problem violating, but violaters can lose their liquir license - a big deal to a hotel with a restaurant and bar area.

That was big reason I heard on either CNN or MSNBC.

[prodigitalson]

59. Yep....afraid to leave...nt
