Well, things just got a little more pathetic for the disgraced, one-term, twice-impeached ex-president after one Forbes reporter revealed that they were permanently banned from the Trump Hotel over a rather strange ordeal regarding a pest control gala.

Forbes’ Zach Everson reported, “I went to the Trump International Hotel in Washington Thursday evening to do some investigating. The rates that night started at $2,400, well above the usual $400 to $700, and I wanted to find out why. Upon entering, I saw a big sign that read ‘Arrow Exterminators.’ I confirmed that the exterminators were customers rather than contractors, and, with that assignment checked, settled in at the bar to see if any swamp people of note were still showing up with Trump out of power.”

Everson says that he stuck around for a bit, had a $17 prosecco, snapped some pictures, and then went to the bathroom. Upon coming out of the restroom, the Forbes reporter said Ernest Wojciech, director of security for the Trump Hotel, came and told him to leave.

“While escorting me out, Wojciech explained that the ejection was for taking photos without permission. Once outside, he told me the ban was permanent, then declined to elaborate,” Everson explains. “Higher-ups in the Trump Organization also didn’t feel like explaining. When Forbes reached out to ask whether one of its reporters had, in fact, been banned from the hotel for life, a spokesperson did not respond.”

Everson rose to fame during Trump’s term for his coverage of the then-president’s hotel, followed by his newsletter named after the hotel’s address, 1100 Pennsylvania.

Everson posted a Twitter thread detailing his ban from the Trump Hotel, and you can see that here:
