While President Donald Trump laments the destruction of Confederate history, one of his hotel chains may celebrate it with a destination stylized after a Southern plantation.

A new Scion hotel project promoted by the Trump Organization in Cleveland, Mississippi will feature a Southern mansion and a meeting hall inspired after the cotton-gin, Bloomberg reported this week.

The Trump Organization encouraged the Chawla family, hoteliers based in the Mississippi Delta, to change course mid-construction to install “a resort-caliber pool, place decorative balconies on the main building, and construct a hill for another building, a faux Southern mansion. The property’s 17 acres will have a spa, bars, and a meeting hall styled as a cotton gin,” Bloomberg’s Peter Robison and Michael Smith reported.

......

While the Trumps are not officially listed as owners of the property, they will take a cut once sales open.

Trump didn't get wealthy by paying the help, you know.

9. His next hotel should be styled after an insane asylum (with lots of gold paint of course).

That way his room will be all ready for him when the time comes. Hopefully that will be very soon.

I truly believe Trump thinks it's hilarious to pull shit like this in a trolling fashion. Fucking infuriating!!
