Trump hotel sales pitch boasts of profit potential from foreign governments Read more “It used to be the hub of Trump World but I can’t imagine who goes there now,” said Sally Quinn, a local author and journalist. “We don’t even have tourists yet in Washington. I can’t imagine most people staying there when they come. I don’t know anybody who goes there or has gone there.”

Well that cuts it. Sally Quinn doesn't know anybody that stayed at Trump's Hotel or none of the 75 million that voted for him.

Wow!

Oooooo! Let’s take pictures of the barbed wire fence! Look! That soldier is scowling at me. He looks hungry. Don’t they feed him?

Sally Quinn doesn't know anybody that stayed at Trump's Hotel or none of the 75 million that voted for him.

Sally Quinn was the second wife of Ben Bradlee, who was the editor of the Washington Post during the Pentagon Papers scandal, if I'm not mistaken. She must be in her 80s. She's from the era of lavish Democrat hostesses juicing up the gossip and connections between pols, donors and newspeople. I have a feeling the internet killed the hostessing cachet long ago.

Side factoid: Sally Quinn and Ben Bradlee bought the "Gray Gardens" mansion that had been owned by cousins of Jackie Kennedy and had fallen to ruin while the two old ladies lived there, and restored it. "Gray Gardens" was made into a documentary that is pathetic. It used to be on YouTube and maybe still it.
