Sorry that I never went into the Trump Hotel in DC. On the night before Trump’s inauguration in 2017, after the wonderful concert on the Mall, we walked close enough to see the lights on in the Hotel. It was a very happy night.
Just seeing this hotel...or, peeking in to see it’s truly spectacular lobby....has made so many, so happy.
It was something, to sit at a table, at the lobby bar (The Benjamin) and watch the endless line of tourists walking and gawking, at the absolute marvel of this hotel/lobby. Just a happy and thriving place, in such a now dismal and dark town.
We were sitting next to Greta VanSusteran, who actually stopped at our table, and chatted with us, for a bit. We saw Eric Boling walk up to the bar. Kevin McCarthy (barf). Newt, late at night, heading up for dinner. Never a dull moment.
