People have gone on Yelp, a site that publishes crowd-sourced reviews
about businesses, to strike at Donald Trump over his description of
African nations, Haiti, and El Salvador as “shithole countries”.
Trump hotels across the country are being targeted by Yelp users
leaving one–star reviews and describing the facilities as shitholes. The
effort caused the luxury Trump International Hotel in Washington, DC,
to temporarily drop to a two–star rating, down from its average of four
or five stars.
Several of the fake reviews are hilarious.
Matthew O. from Columbus, Ohio, wrote about Trump International Hotel
in DC: “Absolute shithole. All of the white bed sheets had two holes
cut in them. The showers were golden. The steaks were way over cooked
and slathered in ketchup. I asked for bottled water instead I was
force-fed a bucket of chicken and 8 Diet Cokes. This place is such a
shithole.”
David K. from San Antonio, TX, called it “A real shithole. Owned by a
malignant racist. Pee on the sheets. KKK in the lobby. Russians all
over the place. Sad! Steaks over cooked with ketchup. Bibles in the
rooms are missing lots of commandments. Mini-bar only has diet coke and
Big Macs. Fourth rate shithole.”
Yelp users also targeted Trump–branded properties in New York, Las Vegas, Chicago, and elsewhere.
“The pillows with Putin’s image on them were off-putting to say the
least,” Mike S. from Chicago said about the Trump International Hotel
& Tower Chicago.
“Bad experience. Excuse my French, but the place is a freakin’ sh@thole.
They do a pat down on women upon entering building and it’s just an
excuse to grab your private parts. wtf?” said Denise M. from Escondido,
CA, about Trump International Hotel Las Vegas.
