Cha-ching
It’s an insurrection and price-gouging! Multi-tasking taken to a new level.
On December 19, Trump tweeted, “Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!” Almost overnight, the cheapest room in his D.C. hotel on that January evening surged from $476 to $1,999. Just over a week later, prices hit $3,600, before eventually climbing to $8,000.
Makes it sound like the weather, something that just happens, as opposed to a greedy human being jacking up the prices because he can. Treason with one hand, grabbing all the dollars with the other.
Guests included insiders working to overturn the election from the “war room” down the block at the Willard hotel—as well as the president’s two eldest sons, Don Jr. and Eric.
Were Don Junior and Eric paying 8k a night?
The least-expensive room on Jan. 6 peaks at $8,000. The spike appears unique to Trump’s property: the average room rate at a downtown D.C. luxury hotel on Jan. 6 was just $415, according to data-hospitality benchmarking firm STR.
In other words Trump is the greediest pig on the planet.

A video appears online showing Juan O. Savin—a pseudonym for a Qanon influencer who some acolytes believe is JFK Jr.—with his legs stretched out in a room at the hotel. He and former CIA case officer Robert David Steele, who is in his studio, share theories in the video about how the election could be subverted to ensure Trump stays in power.
While Savin says he believes Trump’s protection would ensure the Jan. 6 protest would be peaceful, he repeatedly stresses the need to slow down the certification process to allow time to take away the election victory from Joe Biden. “We are at a critical moment where it’s clear that you can’t get to justice through the Justice Department,” he says. “In that kind of a situation, enemies foreign and domestic comes into play. If we have to slow this down to get to a proper answer, and even if the military has to be called in in certain areas—not everywhere but in those places where there’s an exceptional problem—that’s what it’s gonna take.”
Steele goes further, advocating for murdering officials involved in the nonexistent conspiracy. “From where I sit, anybody associated with this election fraud needs to either make a deal or die.”
Just as well that he’s a former CIA employee.
A former employer once paid for a penthouse suite in a hotel for me in Chicago. This was a really nice hotel, the suite was enormous, very luxurious and came with, basically a butler. The marathon was on at the time and the rooms had an absolutely amazing view of it.
And it still cost ‘only’ about $650 a night, I think. This was a few years ago now, but even so.
It kind of sounds like I’m boasting or something, but I’m just saying that I struggle to imagine what $8000 of hotel room could possibly buy you.
Well, I think it buys you prestige. It’s like paying for Trump steaks and pretending that their tender and delicious because they were $150 but knowing deep down inside they were from a steer than placed last at the 4H judging contest, and then pouring enough ketchup on it to make it palatable.
These Trumpers love being fleeced by him, but surely he knows that he only likes them for their platinum cards, right?
Not to go off topic, but pouring ketchup on anything makes it inedible.
Being fleeced by Trump, is an honour, like getting your Snake Oil right from the Snake. In Trump world, this is the front of the line of Apostolic Succession. It’s all for The Cause. It’s the MAGA version of Scientologists buying multiple copies of Dianetics in their efforts to keep it on bestseller lists, just a bit more expensive.
