'Bookings at Trump Hotels plummeted 59 percent during the first half of 2016.'

The new Trump hotels will be called Scion

According to Hipmunk, bookings at Trump Hotels plummeted 59 percent during the first half of 2016 and data from Foursquare shows a 17 percent drop in foot traffic at Trump properties since June 2015, when the reality TV star announced his presidential bid.

Meanwhile Trump Hotels does not seem to be acknowledging the problem.

of people from all over with only two things in common that I can think of: enough money to stay in one of the creep's hotels enough sense of decency not to contribute to the yuge fortune.
