An umbrella group for D.C. police unions rented space at President Trump’s hotel for its annual holiday party — and now faces sharp criticism from some of its own members, who object to the high cost and the forced association with the Trump brand.

The Fraternal Order of Police lodge for the District, which advocates and organizes social events for 11,000 local law enforcement officers, reserved Trump International Hotel for a night in early December. “A night of celebration surrounded by elegance,” the lodge said. Tickets cost $175 per couple, plus $200 more if you wanted a room for overnight.

But leaders of three individual police unions — who are affiliated with the lodge but have separate leadership — all said they were put off by the selection of the Trump hotel.

The three leaders represent the U.S. Park Police, U.S. Capitol Police and officers at the District’s juvenile correctional facilities.

2. Trump is a CRIMINAL. What the hell are they doing?

3. I doubt the venue was selected by majority vote.

DC cops may not completely accurately reflect D.C.'s ethnic make-up, but I'll bet it's close enough to raise some serious disgust with the rank and file of most if not all branches.

4. And I bet that doesn't include bar drinks.

Your Christmas present is the opportunity to put over $400 in Donald Trump's pocket! Merry fricking Christmas!
