Trumps book entire floor of $27,000 a night London hotel

He and Melania will be staying at a guest house, but all his kids, even tiffany, "and all their entourage" will be staying at the hideously expensive super posh hotel, and we are paying for it.

President Donald Trump is expected to stay at the US Ambassador's residence with First Lady Melania during his State Visit to London this week
However, other members of the Trump family will stay at five-star Corinthia in Westminster
Donald Jr, Eric, Ivanka and Tiffany are expected to check in to the lavish hotel, where the royal-suite penthouse costs £22,000 ($27,000) a night and boasts four bedrooms

Just look at all the energy he has spent tearing brown babies and children from their parents. Doesn't he deserve a suite that staying a night in costs enough to buy a decent car?

He’s been put right the fuck in our faces mouthing off with that Donnie pie hole costing us...2.5 trillion tax cut for the rich, never mind 27,000 ten times over.

He is a money cesspool. Wherever he is, it going in the river, and we the people are paying his bills.

I try not to hate those who voted him in, but it’s hard.

They really think they are something. They want the photographs to prove it.

Disgusting grifters! The whole lot of them. And it's all on our dime. They are such trash.

But we paying for her to ogle London.
And god knows how many of their enterouge there are, because trump drags his WH staff along, including sarah sanders, often including Kellyanne, etc.

side note...read yesterday funny story of how some of his staff have come to dread flying on AF 1, because of trumps notoriously short sleeping schedule means he is demanding their attention at inconvenient hours.
apparently the guy cannot be alone with himself, he needs face to face or phone contact when he is awake.

Early in 2008, IHI and its principal shareholders, entered into a development and acquisition agreement with The Crown Estate for what was then known as the Metropole Building and 10 Whitehall Place, in central London. The two adjoining properties occupy an entire block, facing Northumberland Avenue, Whitehall Place and Scotland Yard Road. Developed in the late 19th century as the Metropole Hotel, but later used by the Ministry of Defense since the mid-1930s, the Metropole Building and its adjoining 10 Whitehall Place were redeveloped into London’s premier luxury hotel. The Hotel features 294 bedrooms, a historic grand ballroom, meeting facilities, a speciality restaurant, a destination bar and a number of other food and beverage outlets. The adjoining 10 Whitehall Place has been redeveloped to include a luxury spa and 12 luxury apartments.
