I so want to believe there were scenes of Trump, Bannon, Kusher et all. standing in lobies all over Hamburg screaming about how important they are, and they need a room, while dozens of German John Cleese desk managers tell them to fück off.
I know it didn’t happen, but I can still dream.
I have a hard time believing it. The Secret Service is just too professional to not have sent advance teams to the hotel, and if there wasn’t one booked they surely would have made that known.
That’s exactly what I was picturing too. 
I agree with you to some degree. But on the other hand, I can absolutely imagine the Secret Service sending requests to know where they need to go and the requests being unanswered because the State Dept is understaffed. It is ultimately very hard to say because there will always be information that we’re not privy too, but I really don’t have that hard of a time imagining that the Trump administration is that poorly run.
Plus, the thought of Trump throwing a tantrum when he finds out he can’t get a hotel room or being a little bit miserable because he isn’t in a luxury hotel is just too pleasing a thought to simply dismiss.
You don’t think Trmup hasn’t already told Secret Service people to fuck off more than once? It’s also likely that the meat of this story happened weeks ago.
I can totally see the security logistics people asking where the accommodations would be, only to be blown off until they stopped giving a shit.
Supply side economics always works, according to republicans.
Demand follows supply, and pillar of failed republican economic policies.
I have a new dog and he shits seven times a day. And here we’ve just been throwing out all this supply. I’m starting a business.
My favorite part of the linked story is the tidbit that the Saudi king takes camels ( because he needs FRESH camel milk, none of that canned stuff for him!) and a golden escalator with him wherever he travels. Sometimes two golden escalators, because you’ve gotta have a spare.
But I bet Trump is sooooo jealous! I mean, he kicked off his campaign on a boring regular non-golden escalator. Leave it to the Saudis to out-Trump Trump. I wonder if King Salman would let him have a ride if he asks nice and prays to the orb.
One Hamburg hotel has gone to great lengths to offer a Trump-themed room, though:

A stay of 2 nights has been auctioned off at eBay; the proceeds (winning bid: 905 €) to go to a climate protection charity.
That ad is fun, I especially liked the Mexican chocolate
Presumably if all else fails with regard to visit accommodations, Trump could always stay on Air Force 1. I know there’s a bedroom; I presume there’s a shower etc.
Since there are references to “Trump guest house” in Hamburg, apparently accommodations were found.
I was thinking more generally. Obviously even AF1 would be cramped compared to a hotel suite but surely it’s suitable for a few days’ residence and business quarters.
Would it really? Would they be able to run the a/c in the plane from ground-based power? Surely they couldn’t keep the engines running all that time. Not sure if they could have much of a shower, typically planes don’t carry a ton of water.
Credit where (partial) credit is due: Trump named an apparently decent person to head the CDC, Georgia Health Commissioner Brenda Fitzgerald.
Fitzgerald’s selection is pissing off antivaxers, because she’s demonstrated strong support for immunization.
The downside is that Trump and GOP leaders are planning significant cuts in CDC funding, so Fitzgerald would wind up presiding over a weakened agency.
You know it’s Obama’s fault that Trump didn’t have a hotel room. This conference was announced in February 2016; he should have booked ahead for the next president [/Trumpologist].
Also, who else thinks that Trump would love to stay in that Trump room linked above without a shred of irony.
Uh huh.

And there’s the tax return disclosure (NEVER gonna happen), promised divestiture or at least baking away from private business affairs while in office (never gonna happen), draining the swamp, hiring only the bestest people ever, etc etc etc etc etc ad nauseum.

That’s just donald. I was talking about someone posting on this very site who assured me of these things. You just can’t believe anyone nowadays.
