WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald J. Trump is considering spending his last nights as a private citizen ensconced in his new Washington hotel, rather than at Blair House as many of his predecessors have, according to people briefed on the planning.

Should he stay there, at the Trump International Hotel Washington, D.C., Mr. Trump would be joined by members of his family, a small group of aides and his most generous financial supporters, those familiar with the discussions said. They requested anonymity because the plans are not yet complete.

Exactly what Mr. Trump’s accommodations there would look like is less clear. The hotel’s largest suite, known as the Trump Townhouse, is a 6,300-square-foot duplex with a private entrance.

Before the election, the suite was being offered as part of a five-night inaugural package for $500,000. It was not clear if the package ever sold. A hotel staff member said Friday that the entire property was “fully committed” for inauguration week.

1. He's doing it so he can make money off the taxpayers for his security.

2. Blair House too low class for Trump and his porn model wife.

Blair House too low class for Trump and his porn model wife.

8. And his daughter-wife who will be First Lady

[tanyev]

3. And he'll send the bill to U.S. taxpayers.

Sadly, I called it back in September.

5. Not enough faux gold at Blair House.

6. Saying his final farewell to the property

before he has to divest it?

[Retrograde]

7. As long as HE pays the security bill

I don't care where he stays. But we the taxpayers are providing a secure, known environment: if he doesn't like it, let him pay.

9. a close private room for the doctor friend. Cheneys group will use the old Blair house haunt.

10. I honestly do not have one shit left to give about where the Loser is gonna sleep any night.

Not one.

[LittleGirl]

11. yep, same here. eom

[leftyladyfrommo]

18. I just wish he would go away.

I am so sick of him. I am sick of seeing his pinched little face. And his stupid tweets.

[Cracklin Charlie]

22. I am down to pretending he's not really there.

It's just a dream I had. A really bad one.

Hey, how's your driveway?

Independence is a skating rink.

[leftyladyfrommo]

23. My subdivision is awful.

I am North. I had to go out. Gladstone us pretty good. They have treated their streets. But I am in KCMO and the road trucks haven't made it here yet. Hoping they will get us this afternoon.

12. It's all about him making money.

Every opportunity until he gets impeached he will utilize private venues and charge the heck for them via his abortions, I mean sons.

13. Take on the role, do the job, or don't.

This tender blossom can't do the job and clearly doesn't even want it.

[pansypoo53219]

14. blue collar my ass.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

15. Lower cost lodgings are available for His Accidunce,

so in accordance with longstanding policy, the fraudulent bill for $500,000 he submits should be rejected.

[Vinca]

16. Ka-ching, ka-ching.

Maybe he'll take his oath by the 18th hole of one of his golf courses. And hold his cabinet meetings at that nasty "restaurant" in his tower. All the while, Ivanka will be modeling her apparel and jewelry, causing an uptick in employment in China. Anything for a buck. The greatest con artists of our time now have access to the best ATM: American Taxpayer Money.

[leftyladyfrommo]

17. Why did he ever run for president?

He looks at it as a part time job.

[dawnie51]

19. Government buildings......

even the White House, do not meet the Fuehrer's standards. He is never going to sleep in the White House. It is beneath him, in his opinion. Not enough glitz. Plus too many eyes and too much scrutiny. He will avoid all of this to hide in his hidey-holes, where no one can get to him, and he can scheme and foment money making scams without censure. I look forward to the outrage that media will unleash when they realize they are marginalized to less than nothing.

[greymattermom]

20. I'll be that the Trump hotel

doesn't accept the government rate.

[trof]

21. Well OF COURSE he is.

Millions of dollars of FREE publicity for his hotel.
There will be a LOT more of this in the next 4 years.

[Tarheel_Dem]

24. I think he's scared any office space aside from his own, might be bugged, and intelligence might....

pick up his overseas conversations. That, and the fact that the cameras will follow him to his hotel, and he is not averse to free advertising.
