Someone's hotels got delisted.

Former President Donald Trump's hotel business took a fresh blow this month when a top luxury travel agency reportedly ended its preferred partnership with ten different Trump hotels.

Luxury Launches reports that the Trump hotels received "awful news" in early March when Virtuoso, which it describes as "the travel industry's most prominent and undisputed player," removed all Trump hotels and resorts from its network.

"This quiet elimination of all 10 Trump-branded hotels and resorts from its list of preferred partners will... severely hamper Trump's hotel management and licensing business, which is already down $24 million since 2019, as well as his golf resorts in Miami and Europe, which are down another $120 million," the publication writes.

A spokeswoman for Virtuoso confirmed that Trump hotels were no longer part of the agency's network and said that "we consider many variables when reviewing both existing and new network participation," although she would not comment on why the Trump hotels had been delisted.

4. Get him

in the pocketbook, that is the only thing he could understand. It's all about the money to him.

11. Kick him in the wallet.

And if your aim is slightly off, oh, well.

6. I wonder if he will ever accept that running for POTUS was the biggest mistake of his lifetime

Along with others, I always suspected he never expected to win, but thought he could use the whole campaign as a means to grift more money. And had he been declared the loser in 2016, he would have used the same 'stolen election' routine he's currently using.

Now his entire "empire" is spiraling down the sewer drain of life.

7. This has been my wish since

he came down that escalator!

No money, his brand destroyed, socially shunned...

Everyone seeing him for the loser hemorrhoid that he is!

Womp, womp!

10. Hope he's heading for said drain

That is all

8. "Variables" include bed bugs

COVID infestations, exorbitant rates, shoddy construction.

9. Appearances of excellence

But a former business associate told the Daily News that despite being a self-described “clean hands freak” and germaphobe, Trump has “always been far more focused on creating an image for his properties than in spending what it takes to make them excellent”.
