The United States President Donald Trump is planning to bring back his usual Fourth of July celebration this year in Washington DC despite the ravaging pandemic gaining more momentum through spreading, This time around, it’s not just the “Salute to America” rally that’s coming back, but also the regular hike in rates at his nearby hotel. 

Last year, Trump raised concerns by using government resources to stage a rally on the National Mall for the Fourth of July, with the inclusion of tanks and fireworks. Last year, the event put a strain on the DC government, which still hasn’t been replenished for the expenses it incurred, despite the huge success it enjoyed at least from the perspective of Trump’s personal business, It seems the state have helped to sponsor a one man business to maximize huge profit for him.

The report at the time was that Trump International Hotel, just a few blocks from the National Mall, raised room rates to an unusually high $1,166, and only allowed guests to book if they were booking at least three nights. The hotel called it the “Independence Day special,” and noted “high level of activities in the city over this special holiday.”

The same is planned to take place today at the same venue where his personal business and hotel benefitted hugely from the arrangement.

Despite warnings from the public health concerns raised by hosting a huge public gathering in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, Trump has made it clear that he plans to charge ahead with another big party in the nation’s capital this summer. During a coronavirus task force briefing in April, Trump shrugged off the risk of having the event, saying, “On July 4, we’ll be doing what we had at the Mall… We’re going to be doing it.

Last year was a tremendous success.” He said that attendees of the event would “leave a little extra distance” and stay six feet apart, which is unlike to happen in a big celebrations like this. But it looks like he’s banking on another big celebration: at his hotel, where room rates are double their typical daily cost over Fourth of July weekend. We shouldn’t have to question whether Trump is pushing ahead with the event despite the health risks in order to sell hotel rooms at a spiked rate.
