The General Services Administration (GSA) pulled unredacted documents from its website Thursday that revealed President Trump’s Washington hotel has made $1.97 million in profits so far in 2017.
“The documents were posted inadvertently and have been removed from the website,” Pamela Dixon, a spokeswoman for the GSA, said in a statement.
Trump International Hotel, which sits blocks away from the White House, was expected to lose more than $2 million in its first four months, according to the documents.
But the hotel raised its room rates after Trump took office, charging an average of $652.98 per night from January to April and resulting in a sizable profit.
Comparable luxury hotels, according to The Washington Post, charged an average of $495 per night, putting Trump’s hotel among Washington’s most expensive.
The Trump Organization leases the building in which the hotel is located from the GSA, the agency that acts as the federal government’s landlord.
The hotel has also become a point of controversy for the president, with ethics watchdogs questioning whether Trump is using the presidency to drum up business at the hotel.
Trump himself has made occasional appearances at the property since taking office. He held a high-dollar fundraiser for GOP campaigns at the hotel in June and has dined there several times.

Excerpt from the article linked in the above tweet:
This loathesome creature is just so full of shit…
I despise this vapid evil zero..
A vile, soulless, despicable self-serving racist coward who has never stopped cultivating and stoking racism, hatred and white supremacy to feed his ego and to stay afloat…
A vile coward who’ll always try to weasel out and try to murk up disasterous situations he inspired…by trying to drag and sully innocents by pretending that he like them, are just innocent bystanders… after the fire he deliberately set begins to burn..
The RACIST INCITER-IN-CHIEF, calling for us to stand together as one?
I.CAN.NOT. WITH THIS PIECE OF SHIT.
He’s despicable …
And vile coward who throws firebombs and runs or points fingers at innocent passersby..
A heartless, shameless coward who thinks he’s really slick…
Notice how he again slips in President Obama’s name …as if everyone is as stupid as his 32% racist supporters…and we all suddenly suffered a bout of convenient amnesia…
Even though the racist buffoon is the only one who has ever directly incited violence, cultivated hate groups and cheered them on,
and attacked in very direct and personal ways..
What a despicable, vile coward..
Way too LATE, GOP/REPUBLICAN PARTY. The racist ANVIL is forever attached to you.
These folks didn’t hijack your party, YOU EMBRACED THEM TO GET ELECTED.
Bi-partisan? What I happening in Charlottesville is not new. This kind of hate has been brewing for centuries.
Damn the Trump voters. Damn them to hell.

The blame lies with any and every one who condones the behavior of racism, and that include the whole system of white supremacy that pervades our justice, economic, social, and educational systems. in AMERICA.

White nationalist my ASS, THEY’RE NAZIS

YES! NAZI RALLY INN AMERIKKKA
Memo to SNL, Stephen Colbert, Bill Maher, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, etc. NO FUCKING JOKES ABOUT #45 & his RACIST clown show.
GAME OVER…NOT FUNNY
Agreed…not funny at all!
THE KLAN IS OUT IN FULL FORCE, NO WHITE SHEETS & HOODS NEEDED IN #45’s AMERIKKKA

NATIONAL GUARD?
#45 would have to send in the National Guard…scary that he hasn’t. Very distressing.
The police should have been there arresting all those violent thugs!
Assuming they actually weren’t the violent thugs in question..
Out of uniform..
They probably took the day off…to join their confederate brethren in protest…
They are so dependent on the Associate Press stories that they just read them verbatim. The media outlets need to do their own research with reporters in the field.
We can just go to “AP twitter” and get the news.

They were there. They just weren’t wearing their police uniforms …
They were on the other side carrying the confederate flags and tiki torches…
