An influencer with nearly 150,000 followers on Instagram earned some criticism — and some props — for a post she made about Donald Trump.
“This. THIS is where you can find me tonight ordering food, in a robe, watching the sun set. So happy right now,” Aubrie Bromlow posted on the social site on Monday night, along with a selfie showing her lounging in a plush bathrobe in a swanky-looking hotel suite.
So, what does this have to do with Donald Trump? Bromlow tagged the photo with the name of the hotel: Trump International Hotel & Tower Vancouver.
And some of her followers were upset.
“Can’t follow a Trumpy,” one wrote.
“It’s time for Blacks, Muslims, Mexicans, feminists to unfollow you,” another wrote.
How Trump hotels have been affected by his presidency
Bromlow isn’t the only person to be criticized for staying at Trump hotels around the world. The Trump SoHo hotel used to be the go-to hotel for NBA teams visiting New York City. Not anymore — many NBA teams, along with Major League Baseball and National Hockey League teams have ditched Trump properties in response to his policies.
“The president has seemingly made a point of dividing us as best he can,” Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr told The Washington Post in an interview after his team stopped using the hotel. “He continually offends people, and so people don’t want to stay at his hotel. It’s pretty simple.”
Despite an exodus of customers, the Trump International Hotel in Manhattan experienced an uptick in revenue during the first three months of 2018. This boost was made possible, in part, to “a last-minute visit to New York by the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia,” general manager Prince A. Sanders wrote in a letter obtained by The Washington Post.
Despite the criticism, it seems like Bromlow enjoyed her stay — and some of her followers were supportive of her choice, even if they don’t support Trump’s presidency.
“I don’t like Trump by any stretch of the imagination, but that doesn’t mean I am going to support you … any less after seeing this post,” one follower wrote. “Whether you made the decision to stay at the hotel based on political belief or not is none of my business.”
For those who had a problem with her hote, Aubrie Bromlow had one thing to say: “You can unfollow me then.”
