  • Restaurant reservations in DC plunged

    From JAB@21:1/5 to All on Mon Aug 18 20:52:12 2025
    Restaurant reservations in DC plunged after Trump announced his
    takeover. It's no surprise that rolling out troops into the streets
    dampens consumer appetite.

    Premeditated...but MAGAites will be clueless as to what went down.

    "Trump says he will join police, military on D.C. streets Thursday"
    WAPO

    Why does he need them....streets are "safe" now, right?

    Trump: I have never received so many phone calls thanking me for what
    we have done in Washington, D.C., from people that haven't gone to a
    restaurant literally in four years

    Oh Pamela used that same rhetoric recently...I wonder how those
    "people" got their phone number?

    Somehow I have a hard time picturing Trump and Melania sitting in the
    living room, watching TV, when the phone rings. Trump answers and its a >citizen thanking him for his police action.

    One of his previous books should have been titled, "The Art of
    Snake-Oil Salesmanship"

    Trump says business is wonderful, and The Washington Post
    says 'The city is dead': D.C. restaurant reservations drop amid
    federal crackdown

    As the economy tanks, them MAGAites will learn the snake-oil person
    has moved on, just like they did in frontier days in US.

    ==============================

    Are you better off since Donald Trump took office?

    Trump delivers failed leadership of golf trips and White House
    ballroom plans, not what voters need

    In the past few weeks, President Donald Trump cheated at golf in
    Scotland on the taxpayer dime, announced a $200 million White House
    ballroom to host his rich donors, finalized a Qatari grift for his new
    Air Force One, waddled around the White House roof like a lost old
    man, and talked about how his old pedophile pal Jeffrey Epstein
    "stole" a 16-year-old spa worker from Mar-a-Lago.

    How much of that time did he spend actually focusing on the economy?

    Trump, without providing evidence, said D.C. was now the safest city
    in America.
