Hah.(Allegedly) inaccurate report of the “tone and context.” Not of the substance.

They could say a Sasquatch was along for the visit and I’d be likelier to believe it than reports of a Donald-Trump-like creature that managed to behave appropriately and didn’t make an ass of itself for once in its life.

“Conversations touched on topics like business dealings, real estate, and related matters that were of relevance and interest to the touring parties, and questions were asked by both leaders with curiosity and respect."

So, Trump absolutely said Washington should have named Mt. Vernon after himself. Because that’s the main kind of business dealing and real estate conversations he’s had in the past 10 years, and his own branding is what really interests him.

And this from the full statement:
“Mount Vernon has welcomed heads of state and world leaders, offering them a place to find inspiration in Washington’s example of servant leadership.”

I’d say that bit of “inspiration” fell on disinterested ears.

Yep, basically they’re confirming the report.

“During the tour, all parties were interested and engaged in the story of George Washington and his beloved home,” the statement continued. “Conversations touched on topics like business dealings, real estate, and related matters that were of relevance and interest to the touring parties, and questions were asked by both leaders with curiosity and respect. Comments pulled from sources who were not present for the tour do not properly convey the tone and context in which they were delivered.”

I know, who is interested in “business dealings, real estate, and related matters”, and only that. You are not fooling anyone.

FFS, the guide should have pointed out that the rooms were small because central heating wasn’t an option, and that the cost of heating a big showy room was more than x portion of revenue the estate produced.
Can someone be a stereotypical “Ugly American” at home, asking for a country?

I can’t say your headline is really all that accurate, it seems as if these Ladies hedged their bets,
“Conversations touched on topics like business dealings, real estate, and related matters that were of relevance…" yes that was the essence of the newspaper article.

In thinking about this, I find it very worrisome that the earth didn’t open up and swallow the Thief Executive before he could profane Mount Vernon. I think this is probably proof positive that the universe is indifferent to morality and that there is no world beyond this one.

Or, if there is, it’s not much different. See Sartre, Jean-Paul, No Exit.

You’ve got to put your name on stuff or no one remembers you.

That’s only if you don’t do anything worth remembering, Mr. …what did you say your name was again?

“However, we believe in the importance of ensuring that reports about events that take place at Mount Vernon are accurate.”

I don’t know, call me cynical if you will, but it’s easier for me to imagine Trump acting like an ignoramus rather than being “interested and engaged in the story of George Washington and his beloved home.” In fact I’d be terribly surprised if Trump even knows who Washington was, let alone any of the historical context.

Lol, so they don’t actually deny anything.

I mean, I understand the need to do this. They’re afraid Trump will get back at the organization for this slight against him.

But if anything, this non denial denial only confirms the validity of the original report.

Honestly? Someone ‘reports’ that Trump did what Trump does ALL THE TIME and the Ladies issue a denial? C’mon…I’m sure he was charming and jokey…and a complete and utter sarcastic dick.

Mount Vernon has a firm, long-standing policy of not commenting on the details of high-profile visits to the home of George Washington…

And ladies, you should stick to that policy.
