Despite the White House’s praise for the thousands of hotels across the country that are housing healthcare workers at the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic, President Trump’s own hotels reportedly aren’t participating in the effort.
According to a Washington Post report Saturday, local officials in the five U.S. cities where Trump’s company operates hotels — New York, Chicago, Miami, Washington and Honolulu — say that the hotel has yet to provide housing for medical workers for no-cost or at reduced rates.
“They did not volunteer, and we did not ask them,” Frank Rollason, the head of emergency management for the fire department in Florida’s Miami-Dade County — which is home to Trump’s Doral resort — told the Post.
The Post — which reached out to the Trump Organization and to officials in five cities that where a Trump hotel and a hotels-for-medical personnel program are located — noted that the President-owned company could have possibly offered hotel rooms to medical workers in private transactions without notifying local officials.
Earlier this month, the White House in a tweet thanked hotels nationwide for providing housing to healthcare workers and first responders as they work to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.

When pigs fly before the TrumpCrimeFamily will volunteer to help others!
Note that the Trump family stole from their own charity, which was ordered to dissolve!
While the TrumpCrimeFamily did not volunteer to help on housing medical workers…
SIL Kushner was too eager to charge rent to his tenants and get a Covid Bailout $$$!
They will not volunteer. That requires empathy. They have none. Not a drop. They do not care about you. A bit.
Do you hear that, MAGA’its?
How is this a story, TPM?
The same thing is happening to hotels all over the country and all over the world, but we need to see this story on Trump properties - you know, the ones he should’ve divested himself from some three years ago?
You want me to feel sorry about this? Angry about this? What? What’s your point in this story and why are you expecting people to pay for this site when this is what you’re covering?
Why not cover what the other hotel chains are doing, other than Trump’s tweet thanking them for their service? Why not cover at what expense they’re offering this service and how it’s being received?
Why must every ever-loving story have something to do with Trump??? G-d, we criticize the MSM for all Trump all the time, but has this infected TPM as well?
Where are the stories about Biden, Pelosi? Cuomo gets a little coverage but only when hammering the President for his inaction.
I’m sorry (maybe not), but I’m getting frustrated with all Trump all the time. And this just was the straw that broke the camel’s back.
Only trying their best to keep us riled up 24/7. They seem to like to cover the all encompassing news of the moment and all else falls by the wayside. This is the easy stuff to cover and do any of us suspect tRump hotels would be doing otherwise?

… or notifying the media, or without announcing it at one of his daily televised campaign events.
Because he’d definitely want to keep something like his first decent and real act of social responsibility a secret.
