Trump stops at Trump International Hotel Waikiki to thank employees

Source: The Hill




BY JOHN BOWDEN - 11/04/17 01:48 PM EDT

President Trump stopped at Trump International Hotel Waikiki during his trip to Hawaii on Saturday so Trump could "say hello" and thank employees.

Trump did not stay at the hotel on Friday night and the stop was a detour on the way to the airport, where Trump will embark on a trip to Asia.

A statement from press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said that Trump wanted to congratulate employees on the "tremendously successful" project.




“The president stopped by the Trump Hotel on his way to the airport. It has been a tremendously successful project and he wanted to say hello and thank you to the employees for all their hard work," Sanders said.

Pool reports said that press members were kept in vans while Trump and senior White House aide Jared Kushner entered the hotel.

It looks like an exotic sports car.

I do not recognize it.

You can see an inspection sticker (or equivalent)* on the windshield.

* I saw a larger version of the photograph. The sticker says "PRESS 1."

Motorcade departs Trump Hotel after brief drop by.

Please look at the video. I may be wrong but it looks as if Trump handed a white note to the guy next to the bald dude. Afterward the guy looked nervous. It may be nothing but just was very odd. I hope I am not the only one who noticed it.

“We’re staying an extra day, because the following day is actually the most important day,”
Trump told the White House press pool on Friday.
