Eric Trump Gets Mercilessly Mocked On Twitter Over New Magazine

[SunSeeker]

On Friday, President Donald Trump’s second son shared a snap of what looked to be the front cover of a new “Trump” magazine to Twitter:

He captioned the photograph, which features an image of Trump International Hotel in Washington, with the hashtag #HotOffThePress.

Trump offered no more information on the publication, which promotes Trump properties on the cover. It’s not clear when it will be available, how often it will be published, how many pages it contains or whether it will be sold on newsstands.

But Time noted  it could be the latest attempt by the Trump family to enter the magazine industry. Its last title, “Trump Magazine,” was reportedly closed in 2009 following the global financial crisis, per the New York Post.

2. Thats hilarious....

As an aside, I haven’t been in the old post office for probably 20 years, despite several trips to DC, but I remember there being a mall inside. Is the mall area still there or is that a long gone memory??

[SunSeeker]

3. There's a big mall in Union Station, but I don't remember one in the Old Post Office.

17. See #16. It was The Pavilion Mall in the 80s, 90s.

[Docreed2003]

18. Hmm, maybe thats what I remember...

Like I said it’s been 20 years, and I haven’t been there since that time, despite many many trips to DC.

[appalachiablue]

16. The magazine cover image is of the new Trump Internal. Hotel, Washington

1100 Pa. Ave., opened Oct. 2016. It's the Old Post Office Bldg., built in 1899 which served as the city's main post office for many years. From the photos, the place is now quite upscale and glitzy inside with very high priced menu items, beyond comparable DC hotels. The building's Bell Tower which is operated by the National Park Service offers terrific skyline views of the capital.

The Old Post Office was renovated in 80s, 90s with The Pavilion Mall inside, including retail shops and food court.
Sometimes on weekdays from work we'd go there briefly for lunch. The historic property has gone through quite a few changes over the years, but still stands.

19. Perhaps the Pavillion Mall is what Im remembering...

Thank you for the info!

[appalachiablue]

20. For sure. Come back sometime when the place is you know,

back to something regular people & visitors can enjoy--w/o paying $240 for a steak & glass of vino!

[Docreed2003]

21. Lmao...too true!!

That trip to DC was my first in 93....I’ve been back many many times since then for meetings and events and, sadly, funerals at Arlington. Love that place, but I have wondered about that mall for years. We visited there a day after we had been in NYC and watched “Phantom” on Broadway...I bought the London Soundtrack to that musical in the mall there and wrote a poem about my experience at the Vietnam Memorial on the cardboard backing of that CD case, yeah that’s when they sold CD’s in big cardboard packages...that poem was read at the wall by a park ranger and a copy hangs on a wall at my mom’s house...sorry for the memory journey, just shedding some light on why I asked, lol.

4. That's some expensive toilet paper

And glossies don't really do a good job cleaning.

[SonofDonald]

5. "Not clear how many pages it contains"

Just as long as it's enough to line the cat box.

[eppur_se_muova]

8. I'm guessing fewer than ten.

Don't want it to be too long to read, ya know.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

27. Love it!

[Cha]

6. Fucking trumps.. Yeah, get a new mag

hot off the presses so daddy will have a fresh one for stormy.. you stupid boy.

[Buns_of_Fire]

7. I don't even want to guess what the centerfold might be.

It's too early in the morning for projectile vomiting.

[Bluepinky]

23. Maybe a full page spread of the Donalds tiny hands?

[tblue37]

36. A Post-it would suffice. nt

9. Officials use taxpayer funds to stay at luxury Trump properties

By Whitney Webb - Feb 10, 2018

... a new FOIA release from an individual agency has shown that Trump-owned properties have been receiving substantial amounts of government funds in what appears to be a violation of the emoluments clause. The document, released by the General Services Administration (GSA) via a FOIA request reveals that the GSA spent $1,760.46 in just three days at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C.

This is by no means an isolated incident. Previous FOIA requests turned up several examples of federal staff using government charge cards (i.e. taxpayer funds) to stay at resorts owned by Trump. For instance, last year, a FOIA document revealed that the White House National Security Council (NSC) paid the full price of $1,000 for a two night stay of a single, unidentified guest at Trump’s luxury hotel Mar-a-Lago. According to financial disclosures filings, Trump holds a 99.99% stake in Mar-a-Lago and its profits are held in a revocable trust and Trump is able to withdraw funds from that trust without restriction ...

13. an avalanche of corruption

There is enough corruption embodied by this regime to keep reporters and press snowed-under for a decade.

[rpannier]

10. Financially Bankrupt Within a Year

Morally Bankrupt the moment it's printed

[MagickMuffin]

11. LIVE LUXURY, NEVER SETTLE

Then no one should be staying at ANY of your rat infested ventures!!!

[hexola]

32. Translation: "Live Large...Skip the bill"

Real Estate moguls bragging about "never settling"? - not a good sell!

[Skittles]

12. obvious phallic symbol

all of his towers are

[SunSeeker]

15. They have a lot to compensate for.

[syringis]

14. The luxury reimagined ? The ultimate penthouse ?

Is he talking about that nighmarish bordello style penthouse in NY ?

[Initech]

22. Well, to be fair, this certainly wouldn't be the worst thing a Trump has done with a magazine!

[JohnnyRingo]

24. So it's a magazine with all advertising?

Clearly the gist of the rag is promoting Trump properties. I imagine between the "articles" about his hotels there's of plenty of advertising.

It'd be like buying a magazine called "WalMart Today".

[SunSeeker]

25. Of course. That is why prior efforts at publishing a Trump magazine failed.

Who the fuck wants to read ads ... with ads?

But things are different this time. The Trumps know that since they are now in the White House, people will buy whatever they are selling in order to curry favor with the White House. Foreigners/entities can get around campaign finance rules by buying ads in Trump magazine. It's simply a bribery vehicle.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

26. My guess for the use of this rag would be...

a handout for the lobbies of all his properties to advertise his trashy joints world-wide. The whole damn family never misses a chance to feed their egos and stuff this shit in our faces regularly.

As if we don't see enough of them already. I can't wait for this house of cards to fall.

................

[muriel_volestrangler]

30. Yeah, it's a kind of "people who bribed the Trump family here also bribed them at ..."

list for the visiting diplomats, oligarchs (foreign and domestic) and crooks who are looking to get dubious favours from the regime.

[Sophiegirl]

28. No offense, but you all have it wrong.

It’s not a magazine.

It’s a brochure....that one has to purchase.

[SunSeeker]

34. LOL

[Hortensis]

29. Well, at least because of this presidency, we won't be

finding this piece of worthless trash in the pockets of our airplane seats. I'd never stay at any of his hotels so can't imagine running across it anywhere else.

[BSdetect]

31. Another travesty of bad taste

[riversedge]

33. what a puke he is.

[crazycatlady]

35. Alternative names for this magazine that do a better job

Charmin, Cottonelle, Scott.
