DC city council member Mary Cheh has come up with an idea for dealing with Trump Hotel just a few blocks from the Capitol and the White House. She suggests "“A YUUUUGE wall around the new Trump International Hotel.... It’ll be fantastic. We’re going to do a wall; we’re going to have a big, fat beautiful door on the wall. And we’re gonna make Donald pay for it. Let’s make Pennsylvania Avenue Great Again.”. . . . And because of poor ambulance service, Cheh also says, "“Given the state of disrepair of [the D.C. Fire and Emergency Medical Services] fleet ... Uber has agreed to partner with the District on providing emergency medical services. The new UberAm app allows a patient to choose with the tap of a button the level of service (Basic Life Support or Advanced Life Support) that best fits their medical needs. And, during times of mass casualties, consumers are advised to consider their medical event carefully, as surge pricing may be in effect.”

Telesur reports that Trump's name is linked to a whopping 32 offshore companies, including the Trump Ocean Club International Hotel and Tower in Panama.
