And Trump Takes Press Cameras On Tour Of Hotel Soon To Go Bankrupt

No one will want to stay in a hotel owned by an avowed racist.

Trump is toast. His properties are losing tenants like they were on fire.

If he doesn't win, he will be lucky to be left with a pair of shoes and a cardboard sign.

The lobbyists will flock in just because it is newest place and in an historic structure. Using the initial rush of business, Trump will find suckers/buyers to partner with, then dump the place after recouping multiples of what he has invested. 5 years from now, a really successful business person will have remodeled the place in a sympathetic manner and it will finally become the place it deserved to be from the start. Pretty confident that he used his money/influence to get the place from the beginning.

And put me up in the Presidential Suite.

I'm dead serious.

But that goes without saying.

I'm sure it will likely be used mostly by people on corporate accounts, people that Trump does business with or other 1%ers

I do find some pleasure that he had to fill one of the restaurant spaces that was vacated after he made his comments about immigrants with a chain restaurant.

Does holding a camera drop you like 20 IQ points? He already screwed your colleagues, and you're going to follow the orange turd like puppy dogs?
