Trump D.C. Hotel Prices Increase by Over 60% for Week of GOP Nomination Speech

Shortly after President Donald Trump said Wednesday he "probably" will give his acceptance speech for the Republican presidential nomination at the White House, prices for a room at the Trump International Hotel in D.C. increased by over 60 percent.

According to Hotels.com, one double occupancy room on the night of August 27, the date scheduled for the speech, start at $795 and range as high as $2,070.

In comparison, the hotel booking website shows lower prices for dates one week before and after August 27. According to Hotels.com, one room booked for two adults on August 20 or September 3 ranges in price from $495 to $1,770.

While appearing on Fox News' Fox & Friends Wednesday, Trump suggested that he'd give his speech from the White House.

I imagine those will be pretty prevalent, as well. Might even come with photos to place in personal files for later on.

Donnie, Jr. is probably in charge of arrangements.

Stay at my Hotel for an inflated price and you can come to the White House and hear me deliver my acceptance speech. Another money grab, Grifters got to Grift.
