It is the same story recycled over the last couple of weeks. In the end Trump will not remain in the country if it looks like he would be in real danger. Just don't want to see him liquidate his US holdings.

Trump's Washington hotel echoes to silence of missing Maga crowd

Once the hub of Trump World in the US capital, with the former president gone it is in danger of becoming a white elephant

Clobbered first by the coronavirus pandemic, then by its owner’s election defeat, the Trump International Hotel in Washington is reeling from a huge loss of income and prestige. For critics of the former US president, it is welcome proof of how quickly the city is moving on without him.

“It used to be the hub of Trump World but I can’t imagine who goes there now,” said Sally Quinn, a local author and journalist. “We don’t even have tourists yet in Washington. I can’t imagine most people staying there when they come. I don’t know anybody who goes there or has gone there.”

The hotel opened amid protests in the historic Old Post Office building on Pennsylvania Avenue, between the White House and US Capitol building, in September 2016 as Trump campaigned for the presidency.

For four years its opulent lobby thronged with diplomats, lobbyists and Trump family members. It was one of the few places in the US capital where “Make America great again” hats were bountiful. But one recent afternoon it seemed more reminiscent of the haunted hotel in Stanley Kubrick’s film The Shining.

Steel barriers surrounded the magnificent facade with its five US flags and statue of first postmaster general Benjamin Franklin. A black-coated porter explained that, due to coronavirus restrictions, only people invited by guests are allowed in. When the Guardian called the front desk, a man who identified himself as the manager said, “I’d rather not comment. Thank you for your call,” then hung up.

The hotel in Washington made just $15.1m in revenue last year, a drop of more than 60% from the year before. Then came Trump’s election loss and impeachment for inciting a deadly insurrection a short distance away at the US Capitol on 6 January, inflicting huge reputational damage.

On 20 January, Trump boarded the Marine One helicopter to start a new post-presidential life at his luxury Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, depriving the hotel of one of its biggest draws. A week later, the New York Times reported that the lobby was largely vacant and the waiters and staff members outnumbered the customers.

There was little mourning in Washington itself, where Joe Biden secured 92% of the vote compared with Trump’s 5%. Beyond official duties, the 45th president was rarely seen around the city, hardly ever visiting museums or theatres and only ever dining out at the Trump hotel itself.

Last month the Washingtonian reported that table 72 in a round booth at the hotel’s steakhouse was perpetually reserved for the president in case he decided to visit on the spur of the moment. The magazine also said it obtained a “Standard Operating Procedure” document for staff to follow whenever Trump arrived.

“As soon as Trump was seated, the server had to ‘discreetly present’ a mini bottle of Purell hand sanitizer. (This applied long before Covid, mind you.),” it reported. “Next, cue dialogue: ‘Good (time of day) Mr President. Would you like your Diet Coke with or without ice?’ the server was instructed to recite.

“A polished tray with chilled bottles and highball glasses was already prepared for either response. Directions for pouring the soda were detailed in a process no fewer than seven steps long – and illustrated with four photo exhibits. The beverage had to be opened in front of the germophobe commander in chief, ‘never beforehand’.

Trump election fraud investigation in Georgia enters new phase with grand jury set to be seated - CNNPolitics

Trump election fraud investigation in Georgia enters new phase with grand jury set to be seated

Atlanta (CNN)A criminal investigation into former President Donald Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia is set to intensify this week, as a grand jury convenes, offering the local district attorney her first shot at seeking subpoenas for records and interviews.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis made her investigative intentions clear with a round of letters to Georgia state officials in February, asking them to preserve documents relevant to election interference as she investigated potential state crimes including the solicitation of election fraud, conspiracy, and racketeering.

According to the letters, none of the Georgia officials are targets of the investigation.

"What I was doing, as a courtesy to people that I respect very much, is simply putting them on notice that when a grand jury convened, which would be in March, that they could expect to receive subpoenas," Willis told MSNBC in February.
Two grand juries are set to convene in Fulton County on Thursday, opening a path for Willis' next phase in her probe. A person familiar with the investigation said they are likely to rely heavily on subpoenas rather than voluntary requests for records and interviews, in part to establish a clear court record of their pursuit of evidence.

In the meantime, some officials in Georgia have already hired personal attorneys amid the fallout from Trump's efforts to upend the election results.

While Willis' investigation launched from the now-infamous call in which Trump pushed Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to "find" him enough votes to win the state, it's expected to stretch well beyond that single call.

"There may be nothing there," said a person familiar with the investigation, "or it may be more extensive that we thought."

Seems like it'd be statistically impossible to not have someone on the jury with an ulterior motive.

Citizen ‘Trumpzilla’ Losing Power As Republicans Say His PAC Makes No Sense

Politico has published a new report detailing how Donald Trump is now “adrift in political exile” and “far from the political godzilla” some Republicans were bracing for. MSNBC’s Ari Melber is joined by Politico White House reporter Meridith McGraw and former Trump advisor Sam Nunberg to discuss Trump’s unusual behavior. While McGraw explains he’s largely avoided the public stage and hasn’t followed through on his post-presidency plans, Nunberg asserts “we’re only 50 days out” and that Americans can expect more from the former president.

So, me, Bubbles and Julian were in Florida last month and thought we’d check out Mar O Lago while we were there.

This guy came up to me and asked if I could sign for a parcel for the former president. I said “sure, what the fuck”.

We got real drunk and stoned after and forgot about the fucking package. Sure hope it doesn’t cause a problem for trumpy.

The NAACP Lawsuit Against Trump Is Delayed After Some Guy Named ‘Ricky’ Took the Paperwork. Last month, “Ricky” signed for a federal lawsuit delivered to former President Trump, and vanished. Now, the “Ricky” mystery has spilled into federal court.
