But the bookings don’t exactly appear to be rolling in so far.
As Trump allies plot a last-ditch effort on Jan. 6 to try to prevent Joe Biden from being formally selected as the next president, at least one part of Trump-world is tacitly acknowledging that there won’t be a second Trump term, and is hoping to profit from Biden’s inauguration: Trump’s Washington hotel.
A check of the Trump International Hotel D.C.’s website indicates that the hotel demands a two-night minimum stay during the inauguration and has hiked its rates to $2,225 per night for Jan. 19 and 20, while a similar room runs in the $400 range during most of the rest of January.
But a receptionist at the Trump hotel in Washington told POLITICO on Wednesday that there are no inauguration specials and the hotel is not planning on having any private events either before hanging up the phone as a POLITICO reporter tried to ask a follow-up question.

I was of the impression that the Inauguration was to be a low-key affair — few, if any, events. In fact, the Biden camp was urging people to stay home and watch the swearing-in on tv or stream it. So why would many people need hotel rooms anyway?
And if Trump and his accomplices are planning riots for that day — well, I doubt those people could afford $2,225 a night rooms. Most likely, they will be sleeping in tents, their trucks or RVs.
