\"\"Trump International<\/strong> is hawking bargain rates for the Yuletide season, including price-matching, Saks Fifth Avenue<\/strong> discounts, “guaranteed late check out” (translation: Please<\/em> stay with us!) and more<\/a>. The sheer plethora of discounts and giveaways hints at an increasing level of desperation within Trump’s Stump.
