Trump’s presidential campaign has made the Trump brand toxic, as his hotel business is so bad that bookings are down 59%.

According to Hipmunk, “The share of bookings at Trump Hotels on Hipmunk as a percent of total hotel bookings are down, decreasing 58.46 percent compared to the same period last year. While overall Hipmunk hotel bookings have been on the rise year-over-year, that has not been the case with bookings of Trump Hotels.”

Even Trump’s new hotel in Washington, D.C. is suffering. While every other 5-star accommodation was booked for a recent IMF conference in the city, Trump’s hotel was reducing rates because they were unable to fill the building.

Trump’s brand is so toxic that a new line of Trump hotels targeted to millennial travelers is removing his name.

The American people are voting with their wallets, and rejecting everything that the Trump name has come to stand for. Donald Trump is permanently damaging his business and brand by running for president on a platform of sexism, racism, hate, and division.

I hope every weak knee'd lily livered Republican who rolled over for Trump becomes just as toxic in the years to come. Lookin' at you Ted Cruz, Ryan, McConnell, Rubio, etc. etc. etc.

TRIGGER WARNING!

The above is the link to read if you're tired of politics, and instead want to be angry about miscarriages of justice in rape cases. An outrageous case, and the WP helpfully provides links to other outrageous cases. Feeling a little traumatized here....
