Smarmy Trump Finally Found a Way to Make Some Money Off Biden’s Inauguration

Donald Trump never does a thing that isn’t interesting. It can be something that is infuriating or disgraceful, but it captures your interest. And thus it is with what will be Biden’s inauguration.

The signals are crossed up a bit on this. In the White House, Trump is – for reasons passing understanding – looking at January 6th as the day that the Republicans can overturn the election. Meanwhile, the stupid hotel has opened up its bookings at ungodly rates for rooms.

How is that a crossed signal? All rooms were blocked, depending on who won. If Trump won, the rooms were going to be lower, much lower … for good “friends.” Some of them might be comped, if you know what we mean. If the people were there to see Biden he was just going to jam them up the …

How do we know that? It’s the only thing that makes sense! From Yahoo News:

The hotel recently unblocked the dates after months of keeping 16-20 January 2021 unavailable to bookings, presumably in anticipation of Mr Trump’s inauguration.

The rooms initially opened at higher prices than usual, ranging from doubles to suites at $886 to $2,225.

However, the prices seem to have been hiked further, as the hotel’s website now says a two-night minimum is required for guests visiting during the week of inauguration, with the cheapest rooms priced at $2,225 a night for the 19th and 20th January. On other days in January, the average room charge for the hotel is priced at $436.

Yeah, everything in Washington hiked their prices, of course, they did. But the Trump dump waited until late late late to allow their bookings to capture what was left in the crowd wanting upper-end hotel rooms.

And since they’re Biden’s friends, screw them. Right, Ivanka?

Peace, y’all
