Trump won the bid largely because of promises to "employ the architect who had, over decades, championed the building’s careful, historic restoration. And he promised the involvement of a multibillion-dollar real estate investment firm with a rock-solid financial reputation."
"After Trump’s team got the nod from the GSA, however, it reversed itself on both these promises."
Steven L. Schooner, a professor of contracting law at The George Washington University Law School who has monitored the transaction, said Trump’s deal is “at a minimum a conflict of interest, that a presidential candidate or president could personally benefit or lose sums of money on this scale based on a contractual relation with the federal government.”
For comparison Empire State Building start to finish was 410 days.
The Chinese put up 57 story building in 19 days (not including fitting rooms).
Small wonder Trump needs to charge $500-$700 for base room.
Trump first looked at the Old Post Office in 2012. I guess that equates to - "gain control" to the Leftists.
What a sad bunch of Parrots. What does anyone care what the room cost is? Nobody is holding a gun to anybodies head to rent a room. You want it or you don't - this is NOT Rocket Science.
If nobody wants to pay the price - Trump failed & isn't that what the Leftists really want?
Under budget? Isn't this the hotel that is being investigated for using - and not paying - illegal polish workers for construction? Under budget indeed.
Yep, when the world sees this they are gonna say "Americans are winners, look at their president. His penthouse is covered in Gold" "According to Trump Melania doesn't fart but when he does Gold comes out of his ass" "such a BAD A$$"
WE ARE ABSOLUTELY THRILLED TO BREAK GROUND TODAY ON WHAT WILL BE, IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE, ONE OF THE FINEST HOTELS ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD—TRUMP INTERNATIONAL HOTEL, WASHINGTON, D.C. THROUGHOUT THE NEXT TWO YEARS, WE WILL WORK TO RESTORE THIS MAGNIFICENT BUILDING TO EVEN WELL BEYOND ITS ORIGINAL GRANDEUR"
- DONALD J. TRUMP - July 2014.
Under budget? Isn't this the hotel that is being investigated for using - and not paying - illegal polish workers for construction? Under budget indeed.
Well the Donald has to be more modest now days... this yuge drop in traffic must be affecting him bigly
Better question - what has Hillary completed ahead of schedule and under budget?

This is the only information Trump released about himself in the past year.
