Word is when Trump meets with Kim, Kim will be put up in a $6k a night hotel suite

and WE will be footing the bill.

do you get for $6 thousand a night? Fairy and gold dust dispensers in the bathroom? Platinum chopsticks? Silver and satin sheets? your own private unicorn to give you a wake up call?

$6 thousand a night. That's pretty outrageous.

republicans squander our hard-earned tax dollars on jeweled pens, luxury office accessories, and golden, gourmet, luxurious golf goof offs for their family-values role model. The same clown who claims to be a 'billionaire' makes taxpayers foot his multitude of Bills for Frills. So I'm sure they don't have any qualms at all about squandering our money for a luxury hotel room for another psychopath. Fits with their 'values'

Also, take into account that these prices are in pounds, so add roughly 50% to get the USD price. The cheapest on the list is close to $25,000 USD per night.

Also, that list's number 1 isn't actually number 1. Lover's Deep Luxury in St. Lucia is $150,000 per night. There may be more expensive than that.

I wonder what the bill will be for the US delegation and security. We'll probably never know. The issue isn't the cost but how it will get paid with the sanctions in effect. South Korea could pay with a waiver from the US.

Singapore is a security nightmare. Kim will be using an older hotel, the one closest to North Korean embassy.

"A White House official told CBS News Saturday evening, "we aren't paying for hotels" but did not offer any further details. State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert issued a similar statement Sunday morning, denying that the U.S. would foot the bill"

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/who-will-pay-for-king-jong-uns-hotel-stay-in-singapore/


I know I know - can the WH be trusted with anything they say?

But do you have a link that states otherwise?

for Glorious Leader #2...

Wait, did I get that backwards? Maybe it was Glorious Leader #2's decision in regard to Glorious Leader #1's accommodations. It's becoming very difficult to tell these days the difference between them.
