Me as well. You just never know. At least I tried to let them know what they’re in for this summer.
OK. Will do for sure.
American Flags should ALWAYS be present in a Trump rally. The Cruz / Ryan supporters can carry their Mexican, Syrian and Iranian flags.
BTTT.
Thanks for the bump, OddLane. Hope to see you there. You must be wondering who Bradley is. Well, he’ll be there.
Yes, they should. I have one small one and one big one, but you can no longer tie flags onto the barricades as in years past. I think maybe the cops want to be able to see what’s going on back there.
Way to go!! Wishing you a great turnout, safe protest and lots of fun
Please keep us posted.
Some Trump/Grand Hyatt history....
THE GRAND HYATT HOTEL
In one of the most famous real estate deals in history, in 1976, Donald J. Trump and the Hyatt Corporation partnered to buy the Commodore Hotel, now known as the Grand Hyatt Hotel. Since many of the buildings near the hotel were in or on the verge of foreclosure, and New York City was facing bankruptcy, Mr. Trump was able to negotiate an unprecedented contract in which the city provided a 40-year tax abatement, the first ever granted to a commercial property. Furthermore, the Bowery Savings Bank, and other smaller banks, also promised Mr. Trump $70 million in mortgages in an effort to rejuvenate the area.
At first, the building was going to be a small, moderate hostelry. After construction started in 1979, the economy slowly picked up and the plans switched, and it became the 25-story hotel it is today. The renovations also established the Trump signature facade of mirrored glass and stainless steel. What could have been a disaster, putting Trump in massive debts, was credited with overturning the deterioration of the Grand Central Area. On October 7, 1996, Hyatt Corporation purchased Trump’s half- share in the hotel for $142 million.

Thanks, Jane. That is interesting! I’ve been to many conservative events there and never knew that.
I love NYC history....including the NYC Trump history :)
Yes, I do too. I have a map from when the grid was only partly finished. Fascinating. I always thought the Bloomingdales were a family. It was a field of flowers west of Broadway just north of my neighborhood!
Ping! FReeper/Trump meet-up in NY Thurs.!
The Donald J. Trump for President Meetup will be holding a counterprotest tomorrow, April 14, near the Grand Hyatt on 42nd Street at Lexington Avenue. Their present meeting place is just to the west of the Hyatt on the north side of 42nd Street, in front of the Bolton’s store, and the time is 5:30 p.m.
Well, I was curious.
His name actually came up at the Breitbart meetup.
Just look at those threatening Spice Girls: assault & pepper spray!
HI A.W.
If I was any where close I would be there but being on the West Coast it is not possible. I will be there in spirit though.
Will be watching for pictures!!!
Thanks so much for pinging this, AW.
I think he was there. I was supposed to go but got involved in this, etc.
Thanks for putting this on your blog!
