Reporting LIVE from outside Trump Tower in NYC

I was across the street about 15 minutes ago. There's a group of about 40 deplorables holding signs that say "Drain the swamp" and "Fight Terrorism Vote Trump". As you can imagine, they are all white middle aged men. A group of us are across the street observing them the way you would watch hyenas at the zoo.

I then cruised past the Hilton, the site of to,orrow's "victory" party. It's awfully subdued in there.

That is all.

That's the largest venue they could afford. No credit. Qutzupalotl Nov 2016 #3

Because it is the only way they would ever see a cent of what they'd be owed.

He could have charged the campaign big bucks for using one of his own buildings. Someone said he doesn't want Trump buildings associated with a defeat, but instead the Trump name will be (forever!).

Hope the Hilton corp. sues his orange butt off when he tries to stiff them.
