7 Tweets That Trolled Trump Hotels Amid Refugee Ban

Trolling Hard Six Years Later
January 30th, 2017 – Trump Hotels often show off luxurious bath robes, meals and shower heads on their Twitter feed, but back in 2011 it asked for favorite travel memories. As President Trump’s executive order, indefinitely banning Syrian refugees and temporarily blocking incoming travel from six other Muslim-majority nations, began to draw opposition amongst the chaos, that Twitter question got a lot of answers.
Though you could say that the Trump Hotels tweet is maintaining relevance, it doesn’t seem to be aging well. As of Monday morning, there were close to 7,000 replies pointing out the disconnect between the company’s question and the realities that travelers faced over the weekend.
Tell us your favorite travel memory – was it a picture, a souvenir, a sunset? We’d love to hear it!

@TrumpHotels @nybooks It was to Syria. In 2010. A beautiful place. A country full of warm, welcoming people who greeted us everywhere like friends.

.@TrumpHotels hearing about my grandfather’s perilous trip to America by boat as a child alone. I wonder if he would be let in today?

@TrumpHotels @nybooks I enjoyed traveling abroad at a time when I wasn’t despised because of my evil president.

@TrumpHotels I enjoyed the hospitality of @Airbnb; an experience made even more memorable in comparison with Trump’s hideous #MuslimBan. pic.twitter.com/webVkEpbJp

@TrumpHotels That time in Russia where the tiny-handed guy in the room next to me was getting peed on by two sex workers.
