The Trump Organization wants to open a luxury hotel in the heart of Israel

Donald Trump’s family business tried to open a luxury hotel in Jerusalem, Israel, according to a report. The Trump Organization sought a deal last year to open a Trump-branded hotel on the former site of Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, The New York Times reported.

The former president’s company also looked into transforming a developing skyscraper — near the Israel Defense Forces headquarters — in Tel Aviv into another hotel. Once completed, that building will house the most hotel rooms in the country, the outlet noted.

Trump courted controversy in 2018 by moving the US embassy to Jerusalem, a move which was heavily criticized by Arab nations and praised by Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Eric Trump, one of the former president’s two adult sons who runs the Trump Organization, reportedly led the negotiations long after Trump launched his re-election bid in November 2022.

Neither deal has been finalized and talks have been halted since war broke out in the region following Hamas’ attack on Israel on October 7 — but the company still has interest in operating a hotel in Israel, the Times noted.

Greed, greed, and more greed. Trump will trade presidential favors and share top-secret intelligence with Bibi in return for new hotels.

He hinted how beautiful the North Korean coast line saying Kim should put luxury hotels there. I’m sure he wanted a part of the deal. I wouldn’t doubt he has thought about one in China.

Including the United States. When he says you won’t have a country anymore, what does he really mean.

IMHO, the orange shit-gibbon is not going to put any of his money into it and it would be a license deal only, and no commercial insurer, unless owned by a true sycophant, is going to insure a building that is going to be a constant target for bombs, threats. Just the threats of bombs will scare customers away.
