Saudi consulate on hotels.com right now booking $2 million worth of rooms at Trump Doral. Problem solved.

[–]toekknow 468 points469 points  (7 children)

Yep. sigh...

[–]shahooster 21 points22 points  (5 children)

In return, how many journalists do they get to dismember alive?

[–]yellekcGuam 35 points36 points  (3 children)

Turkey had so much intelligence on that, Remember how they were releasing it piece by piece until the Saudis cried uncle.

No wonder Trump rolled over and betrayed the Kurds. Erdogan has evidence that will implicate his administration as well.

The intelligence or Khashoggi?

It's part of their "Buy a stay, get a slay!" promotion.

[–]ProfessorWC 265 points266 points  (4 children)

He doesn’t profit from the Trump hotels anymore, that would be illegal!

Obligatory /s because we live in a mad mad world.

[–]fredbrightfrogTexas 27 points28 points  (1 child)

Did you not see those folders of blank copier paper? Totally legit.

[–]ProfessorWC 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Very legal and cool.

Can't tell if joke or just actually happened

[–]brawndofan58California 26 points27 points  (3 children)

Last time I saw, they paid $300,000 on one visit. So definitely possible.

[–]mtarascio 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Not to mention the 'suit bags' they conveniently leave behind.

[–]InsanePsycologist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh no is this for real?

[–]stupernan1 10 points11 points  (1 child)

Why would they? They need to get something from him

A.... Quid pro quo.. you might say

[–]GiantSquiddCanada 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Future favors.

[–]MakersOnTheRock 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Fuck. It's so easy. Jfc...

[–]slim_scsi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the Trump family isn't some sort of masterclass, sophisticated cheat factory either. The rules are this easy for them to break, hardly requires cleverness or nuance. America isn't free, it's owned by the megacorps and investors.

[–]realcalidairy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wth I just don't know what's real anymore

[–]brainskan13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well... It's not quite that easy. The Saudis might need a favor or two before they release the hotel assistance funds.

[–]JackAceHoleCalifornia 2 points3 points  (0 children)


[–]Tashre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, it'd be simpler than that. He'll just force the secret service to book rooms in the penthouse suites in one of his hotels on one of his golfing trips.

[–]ElephantTickle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Net income margin at a high maintenance resort is maybe 10%, so the Saudi's need to spend $20M at Doral in order to properly maintain their influence. That's like 1/3 of the price of a Gulfstream G550, so really no big deal.

[–]Buzzdanume 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there a certain date that he has to pay it by? How does that work? Because I really dont see him paying this.

[–]aboutthednmCanada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They ought to consider trivago.com instead

[–]Dsnahans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or you know, he goes to anyone of his hotels for Christmas

[–]McLustin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmaoo imagining this is hilarious

Realizing it’s probably true is sobering and disappointing

[–]gnartato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"you have a free night stay worth $237,000"

[–]FROYOYOLOLOL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, that covers some of the Q3 losses, but we need more to bring into the black to actually pay anything out.

[–]shhalahrWisconsin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They shouldn't be allowed to take any money from alleged hotel guests until they have undergone an inspection and we have found the bedbugs that prove it was a legitimate stay.
