Trump's Restaurants Are Vile Compared to the Red Hen
https://amp.thedailybeast.com/trumps-roach-infested-restaurants-are-vile-compared-to-the-red-henBut perhaps those in glass restaurants shouldn’t throw stones. Compared to the Red Hen, some of Trump’s own restaurants seem like the bathroom of a dive bar the morning after a live show.
The Lexington, Virginia-based restaurant, which caused a Trumpworld uproar when it refused to serve White House press secretary Sarah Sanders on Friday, passed its most recent health inspection with flying colors. State authorities found no violations when they visited the restaurant in February, and gave the Red Hen their best possible health-risk rating.
In April, Washington D.C. inspectors visited the Trump International Hotel and found 10 health-code violations, including raw meat stored above ready-to-eat foods and containers of flour stored next to a hand sink that lacked a splash guard. Inspectors also found that the hotel was operating a number of on-site kitchens without city permits to do so.
BLT Prime, the steakhouse at Trump’s D.C. hotel, had many of the same issues. It was also given a “moderate risk” rating in April, when inspectors recorded the same raw-meat storage issues as the hotel and a lack of signage in the kitchen instructing employees to wash their hands.

After all, despite his insistence he'd give up all his business interests, he's only in this for the $$$! 
He certainly doesn't give one to the Secret Service agents charged with following him around in golf carts - but those are charged to the American taxpayers! I'm still convinced that he's only in this as one more money making scheme, one of the few that hasn't bankrupted him...
He's bankrupted himself numerous times, he has no idea what he's doing and he's spending taxpayer money and using government resources (for his entire extended family!) like there's no tomorrow! 
It's just the same as all his "anti" appointments, the opposite of what they're supposed to be, like a climate change denier in charge of the EPA. And in the meantime, he's enriching himself and his entire corrupt and grifting family at the expense of all of us.
And I live in a Republican-leaning district in NE New York. New York may be a blue state, but that's because of the more populous cities. After decades of Republican representation, we finally managed to elect a Democrat (and I give credit to President Clinton, who visited the district to campaign!), but now we're stuck with a Paul Ryan protegee who is becoming increasingly unpopular. She doesn't publicize her schedule until after the fact because protesters invariably show up.
But today is the Democratic primary - we have six Democrats running! I can remember when the party didn't bother to field a candidate. I have a strong preference, but I'm willing to work for whoever the nominee is, it's essential and I think we have the odds on our side. My district has had it with the Republican agenda and it sure sounds like that's happening across the country! 
I always voted, mostly for Democrats, but I was never all that engaged. But 9/11 woke me up and I realized that I didn't know nearly enough about everything that was going on in this country and the world. So I started reading and paying attention and eventually found DU in early 2003 - which is an amazing educational resource. I worked on three congressional campaigns and plan on working on the upcoming one - whoever it is. 
The thing that's baffled me is what is the breaking point?? It's impossible to ignore what's been going on since Trump gained national attention and it's getting frighteningly worse every single day! Your analogy is spot on! 
What's happening now totally boggles the mind! There are always the uninformed and the bigoted, but they've always been on the fringes. It's shocking to contemplate what's been happening during what seems like overnight! It never dawned on most of us that Trump would ever assume office. He was already so offensive during the campaign that I couldn't stand to watch - I kept wishing it was over so I wouldn't have to hear or see him again!
I had dental surgery on election day and fell asleep on the couch watching the returns. I woke up at about 3am to see Trump on the TV with his entire extended family - and I figured it must be a nightmare, but I keep hoping to wake up! And anything that we could have contemplated has quickly become so much worse! In any administration there are checks and balances from Congress, but it inexplicably isn't happening this time and he's gotten away with abominations that the radical RW has only dreamed of! 
I voted in the primaries today here in NE New York. Of the six candidates, the one I voted for didn't win - but my last choice (Dylan Ratigan) didn't either. I'm disappointed because the woman who won is the farthest away from my area of all the candidates. We got redistricted in 2015 and are now part of a gigantic area that stretches up to the Canadian border - we're now in the southern-most part of the district. But she's sure better than what we have now - so she'll have my support and my vote.
