Trump Just Removed His Name From His Hotels Due To Plummeting Business

Travel+Leisure reports:

Amidst reports that occupancy rates at Trump Hotels have slipped this election season, the company has announced that new brand hotels will no longer bear the Trump name. “We wanted a name that would be a nod to the Trump family and to the tremendous success it has had with its businesses, including Trump Hotels, while allowing for a clear distinction between our luxury and lifestyle brands,” Trump Hotels CEO Eric Danziger said in a statement.

Trump Hotels have suffered low occupancy rates as luxury travelers from around the world are shunning the Republican’s properties. The travel site Hipmunk reports double digit booking declines across the board.

However, that’s not the only high profile problem with a Trump’s flagging hotel chain.

The new Trump Hotel in Washington, DC is suffering from high vacancies, and was forced to cut prices nearly in half this month after the Republican nominee suckered cable TV news into covering a long informercial for the property before making a ten second announcement blaming his multi-year birther campaign falsely on Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

Maybe this is why he has been down in the dumps. His "name" and "brand" has been his crack pipe.

This might be a big loss of money for Donald Trump in that in most cases he does not actually build hotels; he just leases his name out to people seeking to build hotels. Trump gets a licensing fee for the use of his name.
