Trump International Director of Sales and Marketing Patricia Tang confirmed the ban in response to an email inquiry to Politico. She told them “media is not allowed in this week,” allegedly “in respect of the privacy of our guests.”

Diplomats and foreign dignitaries interviewed by New York Magazine in November said staying at Trump’s hotel — inauguration weekend or otherwise — is an “easy, friendly” gesture toward Trump. A Middle Eastern diplomat who’d recently booked a guest into Trump International told New York Magazine to expect quite a bit of business. “Believe me, all the delegations will go.”
