In 2008, The Mar-A-Lago Club received the coveted Six Star Diamond Award, which is bestowed upon the world’s leading hospitality destinations, having consistently received the prestigious Five Star Diamond Award since 1998. The American Academy of Hospitality Sciences is renowned worldwide for rewarding excellence in the global travel and luxury services sector. The decisions are based on commitment to excellence in luxury and service.

The academy is based in New York City and is directed by Joseph Cinque.[3][4] The independence of the organization and its Star Diamond award have been questioned.[5] The academy has been accused of being closely linked to the business interests of former US President Donald Trump.[6][5] In May 2015, the group listed Trump as an “ambassador extraordinaire” for the Academy.[5] Trump himself, a number of his apparent friends and his sons have all served on the organization’s board of trustees.[7]
I am shocked, shocked, I tell you, at any suggestion that the star rating may be faked. Why, next you’re going to claim something really crazy, like the framed Time magazine covers of himself trump has prominently displayed at 5 of his golf clubs are fake.
Here’s the Star Diamond Award website. I suppose you’re going to try to tell me it’s a slapdash, badly broken, not proof-read, template site set up by some trump Org employee’s nephew:
An AP review shows that about half the roughly 30 American Academy of Hospitality Sciences trustees listed in the company’s own press materials appear to be Trump friends and business associates.
I’d like to go to Mar-a-Lago (and smuggle in a sticker saying the restaurant has received a “C” food safety rating on its last inspection, which sticker I will surreptitiously place in window by the entrance to the restaurant).
Also: Star Diamond Award? Are they sure they gussied the name up enough? How about Star Blue Ribbon Happy-Face Sticker Trophy Diamond Award? Getting six of those would really be a testament to your excellence.
If you click on ‘Recipients’ on that six star shitshow of a website, all the properties in the U.S. are Trump brand except the Bel-Air Hotel. Totally legit organization.
This shows Trump’s pure populism again. “My followers like cops so I better put out my thoughts and prayers.” He forgot their racism and specifically their Islamophobia. He actually cares about very little of the shit he claims to care about, either good or bad (he only cares about himself). He just wants adoration.
Just like when he got booed for celebrating his ability to get vaccines out quickly (which I maintain is the only thing Trump ever did as POTUS that was worth a damn, of course the antivax shitheads among his flock were pissed).
I just spent ten minutes trying to determine what “TWO” stood for. I could only think of Trump World Organization. Then realized you were emphasizing the number of bottles.
