President Trump Apparently Couldn't Find A Hotel To Book For The G20 Summit

[DonViejo]

He is one of the most powerful people in the world. He is coming to the meeting of 20 powerful countries. And he has a problem: no hotel room for the G20.

White House officials apparently waited too long to book accommodations for President Trump, leaving him without a hotel in Hamburg, Germany, as world leaders converge for the G20 summit.

Organizers announced the scheduled summit in February 2016, which requires 9,000 hotel rooms to accommodate world leaders, their sizable staffs, and security details.

The Hamburger Abendblatt, a local news outlet, reported that the US government wanted to accommodate Trump in the Four Seasons, but it was already booked. In fact, it turns out that every luxury hotel in Hamburg was reportedly booked by the time the Americans called, leaving Trump, who is associated with an empire of hotel properties, scrambling for a place to stay.

Several weeks ago there were even rumors Trump might have to sleep in Berlin and have to fly to Hamburg via helicopter.

1. Just how incompetent are these people?

More amateur hour from the Trump White House: "Hey Angela, can I crash on your couch?"

2. OMG

[virtualobserver]

3. that tells you all that you need to know about the incompetence of this administration

[gademocrat7]

4. This cabal is beyond incompetent.

5. You mean Loser 45 doesn't have a Trump Tower in Hamburg?

What a loser!

6. I can help him find a room in Hamburg..

The Gastezimmer im Privathaus Hamburg-Alsterdorf ...

This is a Bed and Breakfast in Hamburg Germany. It is $59 a night on Booking.com and they have wifi so he can Tweet his Twits.

9. +100

I'm sure it's a very comfortable room, too, and would save the taxpayer's tons of money. What do you want to bet that the media covering his trip to the G20 has nice rooms that were booked long ago? That's what Trump gets for leaving so much of the White House unstaffed.

Sleep well, Herr Drumpf! Sleep well!

18. But does it have a golden toilet?

Besides, Mrs. Trump needs a room and a bathroom to herself, plus a glam room because it takes her an hour and a half just to do her face, she says.

7. There might be a bordello on the Reeperbahn that could accommodate him.

Or maybe he could just go back to the airport and sleep on AF1.

8. the man-boy who is potus

just thought that all he would have to do is snap his fingers and 'golden palaces' would open their doors. I am so glad to see their arrogance thrown back into their faces. And will sleeping in berlin mean that melania would have to arrange her own accomodations????

10. Summit announced in Feb '16. They'll probably blame Obama for not making the arrangements last year.

[Motley13]

11. I'm sure he asked the hotel to throw Montenegro out to accommodate him

12. What Probably Happened

When the reservations clerk entered his name into the computer, it popped up a "Customer blacklisted because of extensive history of non-payment" message. The clerk then used the standard "sorry, we're full" excuse.

13. Public housing in Washington DC...

and now a Senate guest house in Germany?

How long can a 71 year old billionaire retiree demean himself with this kind of treatment?

[lame54]

14. Remember the scene in Forrest Gump...

Where he tries to find a seat on the bus?
All the kids rejected him- "This seats taken."
Even Jenny would have rejected Forrest Trump

15. More fake news.

Presidential trips are handled by the Secret Service. They would determine what hotel Trump is staying at, not the White House. They do this months in advance. In addition the G20 organizers know the US President requires the most number of rooms and would plan accordingly. The idea that the WH just got around to reserving rooms is just ridiculous.
