Eric Trump is down in the dumps.
After it was reported that his dad’s failing D.C. hotel is officially being sold and will soon be rebranded as a Waldorf Astoria, he wrote a short and pathetic email to the Miami Herald about the whole thing.
In the missive, Eric, who serves as executive vice president of The Trump Organization, confirmed the hotel’s sale. Then he appeared to blame it’s failure on… Democrats?
The Trump International Hotel (2016-2021) Is survived by a legacy of political corruption, six other bankruptcies, and Eric. In lieu of flowers, send money to Donald Trump’s legal defense fund.

“Heavy hearts all around,” the 37-year-old wrote. “I think it’s safe to say no public figure in the history of the United States has been persecuted the way President Trump has.”
How about we take this to the next level?

Seriously, what a drama queen.
We’re not sure how Donald Trump’s crappy D.C. hotel hemorrhaging more than $70 million over a three year period and being forced to close as a result has anything to do with him being “persecuted” by Democrats, but whatever. As usual, Eric’s talking out of his ass.

The Wall Street Journal first reported the sale of the property over the weekend. The Trump name will likely be stripped from the facade sometime after the new year, before the building is saged, sanitized, and rebranded.
The sale is reported to be worth $375 million, which is $125 million less than Trump originally wanted.
Umm! Can someone tell me how Eric Trump concluded that Democrats are to blame for the Trump Hotel in DC closing?

News of the hotel’s sale comes shortly after Trump was kicked off Forbes’ list of the 400 richest people in America, a coveted group he’s belonged to for more than two decades. We’re sure that’s the Democrats fault, too.

Trumps are never responsible for their failures.
And there are many many of them.

Like they used to say when I was a kid:
“Crybaby cry. Stick a needle in your eye, cry baby, cry”.

Why is it he sounds as though as he is about to launch into his own rendition of “Gaston” except it’s about his Father?

Why did they sell it to begin with?

Where is Don the Con Jr.’s father’s cult when he needs them? Why aren’t the MAGAts keeping the Con hotel fully booked now that they’re convinced Covid-19 is over and many feel they don’t have to get vaxed or wear masks? Con poured money into their pockets with those reckless tax cuts, many gorged on federal PPP money last year, Biden has given them yet another boost with the Stimulus bill this year, and the ones owning US stocks are getting insanely rich as the US markets are all at record levels under Biden, so why haven’t the Con Q-ultists packed that hotel to the rafters?

Yes, it’s never The Donald’s fault when any venture of his fails.
Damn Democrats not staying at his hotel. Or eating his steaks, drinking his water and spritzing themselves with his cologne.

Dumpty spent all four years conning important people to stay at that hotel and he still lost $70M!! How is that possible? And then he has to sell it for $125M LESS than what he wanted. No wonder this fool has filed bankruptcy SIX times. He’s not a businessman and I’m betting he has been paying Forbes for years to put him on the rich list. He probably can’t afford to pay them anymore so they threw him off.
