Trump arrived in Argentina for the G-20; he and his coterie are staying in the city's priciest hotel

[sandensea]

Instead of staying at the palatial U.S. Ambassador's residence - as Obama did when he visited Buenos Aires in 2016.

I understand they comandeered the entire hotel.

Can you imagine the outrage at Faux News and hate radio if Obama had done this?

1. Fucking traitorous grifters

[HipChick]

2. I wonder how much that will cost taxpayers?

[sandensea]

7. Exactly.

According to Trip Adviser, it's around $400 a night and the hotel has 165 rooms and suites.

The hotel was reserved solely for them. So if Cheeto flew with, say 150 hangers-on (White House officials, congresscritters, lobbyists, their mistresses, etc), for two nights, that comes out to $120,000.

Plus dinners, drinks, hookers, whatever.

Our tax dollars at play.

3. Enjoy it while it lasts, prison is looming

Thieving bastards

4. Sure beats this dump:

US Ambassador's residence in Buenos Aires - Bosch Palace

11. I bet that when Cheeto found out Obama stayed there, that did it.

"Get me a five-star hotel!"

"But sir..."

"Do it, Goddammit. I don't want to have to hire hookers to pee on the bed!"

5. Have you TRIED the Taco Bowl at the Ambassador's Residence?

[sandensea]

8. So that explains it.

No coming between Cheeto and taco bowl - and it had better be mucho bueno.

6. Likely sleeping on Evita's pillow . . . . . .

9. Don't cry for him though.

Argentina, with their Trump-like leader, that's a different story.

[ret5hd]

12. Or, uhhhmmm, pissing.

[mainstreetonce]

10. He probably won't go to any meetings

Coward

And we care paying for this

[sandensea]

13. Just like his pal MBS

When the Saudi Crown Pricne found out that a local court was considering arresting him on charges of human rights atrocities (which under Argentine law are considered universal jurisdiction, and therefore punishable under local law even if it happened abroad), he holed up in the Saudi embassy and wouldn't come out.

The Saudis said he had been planning on seeing a Tango show. Local artists had said they'd refuse to perform if he showed up.

14. Wanna bet the Argentine government has the whole place bugged? nt

[Ilsa]

17. Putin probably sent an advance team for that. nt

[benld74]

15. I hope they get caught taking stuff when they leave

[mainstreetonce]

16. I hope the. Hookers

Have hidden cameras.
