President Donald Trump’s hotel-management company plans to triple the number of its namesake luxury hotels through a U.S. expansion, and will open the first of its new lower-priced Scion-branded properties this year, its chief executive officer said.

“There are 26 major metropolitan areas in the U.S., and we’re in five,” Trump Hotels CEO Eric Danziger said after a panel discussion Tuesday at the Americas Lodging Investment Summit in Los Angeles. “I don’t see any reason that we couldn’t be in all of them eventually.”

Having Trump hotels in 26 cities would triple the current total. Trump’s company manages eight namesake hotels in the U.S., some of which the Trump family owns. Danziger said that Trump Hotels is considering opening luxury properties in Dallas, Seattle, Denver and San Francisco, where he started his career in 1971 as a bellman at a Fairmont hotel. Danziger joined Trump Hotels in August 2015.

The first Scion hotel is slated to open this year, Danziger said, declining to say where it will be located. Planned Scion hotels range in size from 72 rooms to 800, he said.

1. Fuck Trump !!!

[kimbutgar]

2. He can forget San francisco

It will not be permitted and the outrage would be daily protests at the site.

[Freethinker65]

3. Tax breaks and sweetheart deals....but at least Trump isn't "crooked"

Nothing to see here. No conflicts of interest. Can hardly wait to see what developments he gets his name on Internationally.

[Wounded Bear]

4. Three times the targets...

of protests, of course.

[tanyev]

5. Oh, please. Who's going to stay in them?

Most of the people that support Trump can't afford to stay in his hotels. His DC hotel has already lost over $1 million in its first two months.

[LittleGirl]

6. exactly and the ones that can afford to - WON'T. eom

[Roy Rolling]

7. Always overbuilding into bankruptcy

[Hekate]

8. Subtle, real subtle

[rzemanfl]

9. A chain called "Shit Stains on the Sheets" would do better than "Trump."

[smirkymonkey]

15. *snort*

Seriously, I smell another bankruptcy coming on. His brand is going downhill fast. Even many of the people who supported him (that could afford the price of a stay) would be embarrassed to be associated with it. The Trump name will soon be investment kryptonite. He is hated by most of the world and those numbers will continue to grow.

[rzemanfl]

16. I'm here to entertain when I'm not pissing folks off. n/t

[SoCalNative]

10. I hope he builds some

near the pipelines he's just approved.

And I hope they are the first casualties of leaks and the like.

[dalton99a]

11. Ok. Boycott all Trump and Scion properties.

[TeamPooka]

12. more places to boycott!

[mackdaddy]

13. Will we have to supply federal security to all of these places?

It is just a matter of time until some "Trump" facility is targeted by terrorists.

Talk about painting a target on something.

US Embassy facilities have Marine guards around the world.

Trump Hotels... Not so much.

[deurbano]

14. Clinton Cash! Clinton Cash! Clinton Cash! Fuck the NYT and the Washington Post.

Their relentless pursuit of something-- ANYthing, no matter from what tainted source-- to try to damage Clinton, even when inevitably, there was never any real THERE there, succeeded in creating so much smoke that too many assumed there must also be fire. (I'm not talking about those totally brainwashed by the fake rightwing news; there was never any hope they would recognize the truth.)

New York Times, Washington Post, Fox News strike deals for anti-Clinton research
By DYLAN BYERS 04/20/15 12:18 PM EDT

<<The New York Times, The Washington Post and Fox News have made exclusive agreements with a conservative author for early access to his opposition research on Hillary Clinton, a move that has confounded members of the Clinton campaign and some reporters, the On Media blog has confirmed.

"Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich" will debut on May 5. But the Times, the Post and Fox have already made arrangements with author Peter Schweizer to pursue some of the material included in his book, which seeks to draw connections between Clinton Foundation donations and speaking fees and Hillary Clinton's actions as secretary of state. Schweizer is the president of the Government Accountability Institute, a conservative research group, and previously served as an adviser to Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin.

Fox News' use of Schweizer's book has surprised no one. The bulk of the network's programming is conservative, and the book's publisher, HarperCollins, is owned by News Corporation. But the Times and Post's decision to partner with a partisan researcher has raised a few eyebrows. Some Times reporters view the agreement as unusual, sources there said....>>
