A month after @realDonaldTrump was elected, Saudi-funded lobbyists began reserving blocks of rooms at Trump's DC hotel. We estimate they reserved 500 rooms, in the middle of the busy weeks around Trump's inauguration. Total cost: more than $272K.

The avg. rate for the Trump Hotel in this period: $768 per night. Saudi lobbyists say they paid far less, b/c they got a veterans discount.
This was interesting: the military-style “Operations Order” docs sent out to vets arriving on one lobbying trip. Notice the “Enemy Forces”

THREAD: @OConnellPostbiz and I are finishing our 2nd year on the Trump Org beat, covering @realdonaldtrump’s businesses and conflicts of interest. A look back is in order, right?
These were my top 10 Trump Org. stories of 2018...
No. 10: The end of Trump Panama. Trump’s Latin American hotel was bleeding $. The majority owner rebelled. There was a fight in the IT closet, a visit by the cops, a celebratory piano recital when the name came down.

No. 9 The Maga-ization of Mar-a-Lago.
After @realdonaldtrump’s rhetoric drove away old-line charity clients, his club got Trumpy new ones: GOP fundraisers, and super-duper-nuper fans called “Trumpettes USA” whose main purpose is to give Trump $.

Sad!
this is the painting (left) that @realDonaldTrump bought w/$20K from a charity. I never figured out where it is. washingtonpost.com/news/post-poli…
i put this painting into Google Image search, hoping to find it on the web. Google, sadly, decided it was a picture of an orange.

💧Deluge💧

Big Picture TOC:

‘The whole mess of RU hacking, CA, the Trump & Leave Campaigns was not only a coup but an unprecedented shorting of the market through mass manipulation of the electorate w/ the aim of controlling not only geopolitics but the financial markets too’
💧Deluge2💧

Mueller’s RU probe will reach a “wild” level over the next couple of months, said Mark Warner

Court docs allegeTrump SoHo condominiums in the building were purchased using funds linked to a massive fraud case in the former Soviet republic of Kazakhstan.
💧Deluge3💧

Mueller nabs E. Prince's phones, computer & is said to be cooperating.

What does the British gov’t know about 45 & RU? Quite a lot, actually!

For the UK the choice over whether to back Mueller & the rule of law or the thug Putin & TOC, the choice is a no brainer.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed
