Bookings at Trump Hotels Plummet; Winning? Losing?

To answer this question, we analyzed hotel data from Hipmunk, a Priceonomics customer and travel search engine. Focusing on Trump Hotels’ most-booked locations, we compared bookings this year to the previous year (before Trump attracted national political attention).

The results? Bookings at Trump Hotels are down big time: they have decreased 59% compared to the same period last year on Hipmunk. It seems that customers willing to spend $500 a night on a Trump Hotel room may not be fans of Trump the political candidate.

Dunno, whether or not they are fans of the Donald.
If they can afford to dish out 500 USD per night, they can easily donate 50 USD to one or the other "Tent-City" in the U.S.; may even be tax-deductible.

I'm not sure what it means either. It can't be a good thing for Trump though.

For his staff who are probably underpaid, it may be bad news.

I tried to book a room at a Hillary hotel and resort, but I could not find one....Seriously, Trump no longer owns property in Atlantic City, although these hotels continue to use his name...They should be called Soros hotels and resorts............ ;)

Sorry...That was Carl Icahn who bought him out of Atlantic City.....

One needs to understand that Trump is a real estate developer who also sells the Trump brand....
Trump International Hotel, Chicago, worth 1.2 billion, Trump's stake 112 million....
Trump hotel, Las Vegas, Trump's stake 162 million...
Trump international Hotel, New York, Trump's stake 12 million...

The Clinton's holdings are largely limited to their "private" charity fund............ :cheers:

And the "Trump brand" is taking a beating these days.
That should tell you something, and the something is that people are not reacting well to Trump the man and they are taking it out on Trump the brand.
In November they will get to take it out on Trump the man.

Welfare mommas, homeless, college students, illegal aliens, and most union members don't vote with $500 a night hotel rooms............ :confused:

Those aren't the votes that Trump is chasing away. It also doesn't matter if he does because he wasn't gonna get those anyhow.

This is just indicator that Trump is alienating some people pretty strongly.

People are turning away from his business for a reason.
They don't like what they see of the guy.

Trump should re-brand a budget motel like Super 8, and he'd have plenty of business.

I guess not enough of Trump's fans can afford to take their vacations from the trailer park at his facilities.

Nice generalization. I suppose one could make a statement regarding the ghettos Hillary voters dwell in - but that would be racist.
