Trump slams 'rat-infested' district - but his own restaurant had a rodent problem.

[Cattledog]

Donald Trump attacked the House oversight committee chair, Elijah Cummings, on Saturday, claiming his congressional district in Baltimore was a “disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess”. But Trump has had his own problems with rodents.

For example, in February, the Trump Tower Grille in the president’s signature Manhattan property was reported for “live mice” and other health code violations.

New York City health inspectors visited the restaurant on 11 July 2018 and found “evidence of mice or live mice” in and around the kitchen, a violation of sanitary standards that was deemed to be “critical”.

The inspectors also found the restaurant to be “not vermin-proof” and said it was “conducive to attracting vermin” and “allowing vermin to exist”.

The New York Daily News reported that the Trump Tower restaurant has been cited for health code violations in each of the past five years, including sightings of “live roaches” in 2016 and “filth flies” in 2017.

2. Spanky either confesses or projects; he's projecting about his DC Hotel here

They must've found rodents there; other businesses close by have them too - so that's why rats were on his teeny-tiny mind.

4. lrst we forget, trump is a slumlord

who likes when urban neighborhoods lose value. then a big shot developer can use government tax dollars to bulldoze the neighborhood and build something that the former residents could never afford, but that a Russian gangster can buy with petty cash.

5. Yeah. I think Zagat reviews panned his restaurants as 'crime infested hellholes', to boot.

11. What is truly stunning

Is the ability of right-wingers to utterly ignore their own hypocrisy, no matter how extreme.
