Donald Trump’s D.C. Hotel Shows His Brand Is Sinking Along With His Poll Numbers

By Michelle Celarier .. excerpt ..

In their April 16, 2012, letter to the GSA protesting the acceptance of Trump’s bid, Hilton’s lawyers warned that the government was setting itself up for a “devastating failure for the historical landmark with a business partner whose history of repeated failure demonstrates that it cannot be counted on to deliver what it promises.” Eighteen pages of the letter detailed Trump’s business failures and lawsuits against him.

Trump was forced to put more than $40 million of his own money into the deal after his first business partner, private equity firm Colony Capital, backed out. Deutsche Bank, the troubled German bank, is putting up $170 million for the project.

New York has also learned of allegations that the hotel is breaking labor laws by forcing some employees to speak English only, which the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission considers illegal discrimination. Hotel managers are forcing some workers whose native tongue is not English to speak English at all times, even in casual conversations among themselves, says Brent Wilkes, executive director of the Hispanic advocacy group LULAC (League of United Latin American Citizens).
