U.S. News & World Report recently declared that the best hotel in the nations capital, derived from customer reviews and industry acclaim, is named after a president but, the third one, not the 45th one. The Trump International ranked just 37th. Sad!
Or maybe not to sad. A perusal of Hotels.coms offerings of five star hotel rooms this Saturday in the city shows that Mr. Trumps is the second most expensive available at $505 a night, with no discounts available. The top-rated Jefferson had a room for $305 a night, reduced from the rack rate of $800.
Is Trump getting a little extra help? Perhaps. Kuwaits diplomatic mission moved its longstanding National Day celebration to Mr. Trumps hotel. Mr. Trump himself had his first dinner outside the White House at his own hotel. The conflict caused by Mr. Trump leasing the property from the government has resulted in lots of free advertising.

Had all this been carried by a Democratic president, articles of impeachments would be prepared by now.
