If you were thinking about staying at one of Donald Trump‘s hotels in Miami, Chicago, Las Vegas, or Waikiki, be sure to bring a mask because they’ve all just announced mandatory mask mandates.
All four hotels quietly put out statements this week about their updated mask policies, despite the fact that the guy the hotels are named after made anti-masking behavior a cornerstone of his failed 2020 presidential campaign.

The CDC now recommends people who are not fully vaccinated wear masks indoors in public places, as well as for everyone, vaccinated or unvaccinated, in areas of substantial or high transmission, which currently makes up 94% of U.S. counties.
Last weekend, Trump appeared on Fox News’ “Unfiltered with Dan Bongino,” where he called mask mandates in schools “crazy.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Mask mandates in his hotels, however, are another story.
“There are guests that do not feel like wearing masks,” an employee from Trump Waikiki tells CBS News, “but we do ask that they comply.”
In other Trump Hotels news, the ex-president still hasn’t found any buyers for his Washington, D.C. location, which has been sitting on the market since 2019.
The Trump Organization initially wanted $500 million for the 263-room property, but it dropped the price by $100 million earlier this year after business nosedived following the January 6 insurrection.
In January, video from inside the lobby went viral on Twitter, showing a cold, barren, and empty landscape.

Not a mask in sight.
Not a person in sight either.
Whomp, whomp.

Translation: Trump and Republicans will keep lying to their base, getting them sick or dying, but they themselves will get the vaccines and have masks in their businesses.
missvamp
all the disgusting irony. i saw a tweet yesterday about faux news requiring them to have their staff to have their vax history on file & to be maxed up on premises at all times. yet what do they preach on air? the exact opposite. they should be shut down, fined & all the commentators jailed for attempted murder times 600k. they are why people are dying across the country & refuse to get vaxed.
Prax07
I say let fox news (and nm and oan) keep on preaching to not get vaxxed and to not wear masks. Let all the repubtards that possibly can get the virus and hopefully die off. The Only good republican is, ya know, a dead one.

Much hate have you? Wishing people dead is quite strong. I’m not standing up for Trump’s antics and his negative press about masking, but at some point we are going to have to realize Biden’s actions haven’t worked too well either. Look at the numbers and you will see that many of the Dems are unvaccinated. People in general are just being stupid about getting out and spreading the virus. It’s not really a Trump or Biden thing, it’s a selfish people thing.

@openminded – wow you really a troll. It is a Trump or Biden thing, most Dems are the ones getting vaccinated and not waving around the anti-mask / anti-vaccine flag. I see you didn’t post any information to back up your claim. Go troll on another site.

You’re a dick! To wish death upon someone because of their party affiliation is beyond abhorrent. Your a child. Hope a friend or “Family” member are not republicans. What you should be outraged is the fact that the current U.S. President botched the withdrawal from El Gallo stand and now thousands of Americans are possibly going to die. Grow up, pick the correct battles. You should be ashamed of yourself, but you’re probably an immature jackass that probably only reads Queerty, and doesn’t pay attention to what’s happening in the world.

Now now. It’s ok to hate Republicans for being the vile scumbags that most of them are but wishing death to them might be a bit too far. On the other hand if most died tomorrow I wouldn’t exactly be upset either. 😉
GaysForTrump
The comments on wishing death are ironic.
Sad, pathetic lives you live to think it’s acceptable. Ironic part, is you fight hate against hate. You’re no better than what you claim to be against.
Sfhairy, hey loser, where’s your proof it’s republicans that aren’t getting the vaccines?
The truth of the matter, it’s the African American and Hispanic communities that are t getting the vaccines. But yes, according to you is the base of the GOP.
Here’s one little fact. Let’s see your facts about Republicans not getting the shot. Google away. You can’t find those facts to support your ignorance.
The Louisiana Department of Health’s data says blacks make up 29.28% of the vaccines administered compared to 58.4% for whites.
And all of you have anything to say about the sheer number of unvaccinated individuals coming through our border? And the sheer number of children and teens that have tested positive in Biden’s cages? They are called cages, right? Or has that term only describe Trump’s policies?
Biden is the biggest failure of President. Mess at the Mexico boarder. $4.50/gallon gas. Claims no dead at the Kabul airport. Inflammation at the highest level in 25+ years.
What is Biden’s Covid plan for delta variant? When was the last time he held a Covid press conference? What plans has he put together to stop the spread?
GaysForTrump
Sfhairy:
Citywide, just 28% of Black New Yorkers between the ages of 18 and 44 are fully vaccinated. The Hispanic community is the second-least fully vaccinated population in that age group, with 49% being fully vaccinated, according to NYC Health.
Now post your facts to back up Republicans not getting the vaccine. Or STFU

@GaysForTrump: Oh, I didn’t realize that Gov. Abbott, Gov. Ducey, and Gov. DeathSantis are BLACK!

Prax07 – I agree 100%. If the vast majority of conservatives and all Trump supporters got wiped out by COVID, the world would be a much, much better place.

@Openminded
Wow, you brought on MULTIPLE screenames all so you could pretend Republicans who are trying to kill Americans are victims.
It’s funny to see what enrages the troll.

I might want to challenge that “nobody wants to stay there.” The Trump Chicago and Las Vegas hotels are well-located and seem quite nice. My politics might keep me away, though…and the room rates are outrageous. As someone with memories of the Trump Atlantic City presence, I know things can change…the last sad days of Trump Plaza, with no room service, limited dining, and almost no casino staff, are in my heart forever.
