So what? What does this have to do with anything? All hotels raise prices if there is more demand. Just take a very simple economic 101 class and you might start understanding simple things like supply and demand.

Oh, I don't care for Trump at all! But I do like pure capitalism.

Airlines and other business's have been doing this for years and people just accept it as a cost of doing business but suddenly Trump is the bad man?
How about how gas prices go up in the Summer due to demand or home heating oil in the Winter?



Supply and Demand.

The same happened when toilet paper was bought up in the early days of the covid and the same will happen when the Biden Bunch forces us all to use electricity for our cars etc and the rolling brown/black outs will put a solid source of electricity at a premium.

Let the fools pay more.

The hotel is happy to accept Bank of America credit cards.

This writer and anyone who believes it's Trump managing rates at his hotels are idiots. Perhaps it's to keep nutters out of the hotels? I don't blame them.

"Trump's DC hotel is hiking prices for March 4 — the day QAnon followers think the former president will be sworn in."

And THIS is the reason the prices are going up on March 4th?
"Come on man", you can't be serious.
