Kellyanne Conway: Trump's DC "pit stop" was incredible, stunning, because, you know...Adele.

The real estate mogul’s decision to take a break from the campaign trail to officially open Trump International Hotel Washington, D.C., built in the city’s historic Old Post Office building, has raised eyebrows among some who believe that his time might be better spent on the stump. But Conway said the ribbon cutting will put front and center the type of business acumen that Trump would bring to the White House, located just blocks away.

That Hillary Clinton stopped in Miami on Tuesday night to take in part of an Adele concert should make Trump’s hotel visit look even more campaign-worthy by comparison, Conway suggested.

“He’s making a pit stop here in Washington and his under-budget, ahead-of-schedule hotel is really remarkable. It shows Americans the tangible accomplishments of Donald Trump. He’s somebody who builds things. He’s somebody who fixes things,” she told NBC’s “Today” show Wednesday morning. “And you know, respectfully, Hillary Clinton has time to go to an Adele concert and everybody thinks that's really cool. Donald Trump stops off to unveil just an incredible, stunning piece of architecture, new hotel, first-class hotel and everybody's hair is on fire.”

Wednesday’s event at Washington’s Trump hotel is not the first of the campaign for the Manhattan billionaire. He held a news conference at the property in mid-September, ostensibly to address his longtime support for the so-called “birther” movement that questioned whether Barack Obama was qualified to be elected president. Trump spent 30 minutes at the event, which was carried live by all the major cable news networks, talking up his new hotel and offering a parade of decorated veterans the opportunity to praise him.

Obvious jealousy since only entertainers that support him are caliber and popularity of Ted Nugent.
