The Trump Organization dropped plans to pursue the opening of two new hotel lines — which were supposed to be reflective of the “next generation of the company,” Eric Trump said in 2017 — due to the current political climate, The New York Times reported.
“We live in a climate where everything will be used against us, whether by the fake news or by Democrats who are only interested in presidential harassment and wasting everyone’s time, barraging us with nonsense letters,” Eric Trump said in a statement, according to the Times. “We already have the greatest properties in the world and if we have to slow down our growth for the time being, we are happy to do it.”
Development of the new chains, Scion and American Idea, will likely be tabled until the end of Trump’s presidency, if not indefinitely.

Presidential Harassment?
PS - When your suit jacket is too tight - don’t button it.
These were supposed to be of all things a patriotically themed hotel chain. As if anyone needs this. Are other chains lacking in patriotic fervor? Will there be Lee Greenwood tunes piped into the lobby? They might as well be called last refuge of scoundrels inns.
To be crass, what we have here is “10 pounds of shit in a 5-pound bag.”
Shit. There go my Trump-themed vacation in America plans. They’re about all I had left to look forward to. Other than bourbon.
I’m pretty sure the bourbon is up to the task.
