Trump Hotel: Poorly Catered, Then It Cratered
Loser Trump International Hotel, Washington D.C. sold off due to bad taste
Trump must have gotten tired of winning as his ‘Crown Jewel’ hotel lost $70 million in just five years. Opened with a bang in 2016 after he won the presidential election, the Washington D.C. property became a gathering place for Trump bootlickers wishing to ingratiate themselves to him for personal gain.
With awesome financial opportunity from presidential influence peddling, it’s bewildering how Trump could lose money. Within 60 months, he butchered his own fatted calf. Today, you could shoot a cannon off in the lobby and no one would hear it.
Visitors scarcely complained about the price gouging, as many were paid lobbyists or foreign agents politicking on their government’s tab.
Soon to be defrocked of the ‘Trump’ name, the hotel is joining the Waldorf Astoria (Hilton) property portfolio. Their experienced managers know how to transform the hotel into a profitable one… start by removing the Trump stain.
Previous patrons proffered personal perspectives…
Apparently, hotel cuisine was a problem. Trump supporters wishing to curry favor got no curry flavor. Trump, so enamored with his own personal diet, believed guests would embrace it. He insisted his kitchen copy to a tee, his exact 6,000 calories daily diet on their room service menu, including offering faux versions of retail fast-foods. It read:
