You know what'd be truly horrid optics?  Trump reneging on his offer.  If there was any doubt, Pelosi would order troops to attempt to take advantage.

The housing change was reversed (thanks Rdak) after his offer.  Whaddya suppose that means?

How is that on Trump? He put the offer out there. What they do is up to them. If they to decide to take him up, he will accommodate them. To be honest, I'm surprised nasty Nancy hasn't ordered the Generals to accept to make Trump look bad somehow.

I was kind of surprised when I heard they still had troops in the city.  The Inauguration went off without a hitch.  No violence, not so much as a peep from anyone.  Quite a difference from the anarchy that was allowed to happen four years ago.  So why do we need to shit on a bunch of NG troops who have real lives to attend to right now?  Guardsmen are typically a great bunch of guys who are more than willing to do their mission.  But they're not full-timers.  There's no need to treat them this way.

To the poo-poo'ers who say he's just doing it for optics, I believe he made the offer in earnest. That is to say, if they showed up, he would certainly honor it.

He likes creative solutions. Like what he did with the VA. Before, they had to wait, and wait for bureaucratic red tape, and he enacted policy to allow them to see a non-VA doc if they couldn't get in.

I guess I'm a glass half full guy when it comes to believing Trump really loves America, and Americans.

The army was sleeping 5 or 6 to a room a lot smaller then your average hotel room in Kosovo when I was there.  i am sure they will do a lot better packed into a swanky hotel like sardines then sleeping in a parking garage in however cold it is in DC at night right now.

The Praetorian Guard was an elite unit of the Imperial Roman army whose members served as personal bodyguards and intelligence for Roman emperors. During the era of the Roman Republic, the Praetorians served as a small escort force for high-ranking officials such as senators or provincial governors like procurators, and also serving as bodyguards for high-ranking officers within the Roman legions

Multiple Troops per room.
Include the vacant Auditorium and other Yugely conference rooms that are rented out, the hotel could probably house a few thousand relatively easy.

1 - It's not Pelosi's say in the matter.

3 - It was a gracious offer, but one that would never be taken up on and he (Trump knew it).  

When you make an offer and you know you aren't going to be taken up on the offer, why make the offer to begin with?  To be gracious or for publicity?  

What people forget is that at the end of day, if it weren't for the spectacle on capital hill by a bunch of bozo's who didn't think things through, none of this would even be in play to begin with.

You mean the peaceful protest at the capital?  I've been assured for a year by the D's and media that what we saw was in fact a peaceful protest.

FYI I know a lot of republicans who did say they voted for Biden because they couldn't put up with the circus anymore.  

THIS is why trump lost.  If he could of kept his ego in check and kept his mouth shut, he probably would of won and it wouldn't even have been close.  People tend to forget that Gore actually won the popular vote over Bush, but even Gore wasn't a whining cry baby over it.

The MSM is why he lost. They would not give him one single bit of credit for the good things he did for America. In fact they attacked him non-stop. Him calling them out on it is standing up for truth. And the "republicans" you know who decided to bail on their own principles, and vote like it's a fucking popularity contest, got sucked into THEIR circus.
