Project Will Be Named After the Current General Secretary . . . Who’s Dead

Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, has inked a deal with the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, to build a 7,532-room hotel and casino in the capital city of Pyongyang, making it the largest hotel in the world.

(The First World Hotel in Pahang, Malaysia, currently has 7,531 rooms.)

During the announcement, Kushner said, “Hotels bring people together — I’ve been doing it my whole life — and, being a student of history, I can tell you no country with a casino has ever attacked us. I am gratified to build this bridge between our two great nations and repair the damage of the corruption of the Biden, Obama, and Clinton presidencies that nearly ruined an 80-year friendship. It will be the biggest casino in the world and, with my father-in-law’s leadership, will cement our big relationship with North Korea.”
