President Donald Trump’s Trump International Hotel on federal property in downtown Washington will make a mint for him as guests enjoy a July 4th extravaganza paid for by taxpayers — and featuring the president.

Rooms were sold out for July 3 and July 4 by mid-June, according to the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, an advocacy group that targets government corruption. Rooms for July 5 were still available Thursday from $964 a night to $4,200 a night for a “premier one-bedroom suite.”

If you rent a room you're not obligated to show up in person, and why would you?

Someone should do some investigative reporting to connect the rooms to who rents them, and who, if anyone, actually stays in them.

I'll bet a lot of these rooms are party gifts for third level and lower sycophants.

Th true powers wouldn't go anywhere near the place.
