Because they have a storefront on the ground floor.

I'm LOLing at Wikipedia's description of the restaurants in Trump Tower.

The building contains four establishments for eating or drinking: Trump Bar, Trump's Ice Cream Parlor, Trump Cafe, and Trump Grill. Of these, Trump Bar is the only establishment at the atrium level; the other three are in the basement.

Trump Grill was generally panned as gaudy-looking and the food bland-tasting. Vanity Fair called it a contender for "the worst restaurant in America," with different menus for different customers and "steakhouse classics doused with unnecessarily high-end ingredients." Eater rated the food as "totally unadventuresome and predictable, though competently prepared, like food you might find in a country club." New York magazine wrote that "despite what the sign reads, countless restaurants trump this spot." In December 2016, Yelp reviews of Trump Grill averaged two-and-a-half out of five stars, while Google reviews averaged three of five stars. Health inspections in 2018 reported "evidence of mice or live mice" in and around the kitchen, according to records obtained by the New York Daily News, in violations the inspectors called "critical".

Eater reviewed the three other establishments as well, finding them to be commonplace compared to Trump Tower's stature. The ice cream was described as "almost too soft to be scooped," and the cafe contained food such as a "rubbery and overcooked" hamburger patty and some "inedible" steak fries. The reviewers at Eater also wrote that the bar offered a small, overpriced drink menu and snacks that "do little to affirm the luxury that the place aspires to." Vice magazine also reviewed the bar and found it to be overpriced, with "a strong pour of watered-down vodka and a few Manzanilla olives" costing twenty dollars. New York magazine, reviewing the cafe, found the food to be "safe classics" that contrasted with the cafe's grandeur.

I mean, this is a great misinterpretation of what he was talking about but thats cool. He even admitted in the debate to having business deals in China. He's not hiding that. He even addressed the infamous chinese bank account thats not a secret

Pretty much everything the #NeverTrumpers claim revolves around a wild misinterpretation of what Trump says.

Likewise, the #NeverTrumpers have hilarious whataboutisms where the tiniest portion of a person's business involving a legitimate activity to cover for the fact that the Chinese government basically paid a bribe to the Biden family. And if you need any proof of what impact that money is having, Beijing Biden has already gone on record as planning to get rid of Trump's tariffs on day 1 -- despite the fact he was pretending to talk tough on China during the debates.

Both small restaurants I work at have a much better yelp rating than Trump restaurant. I cook the majority of the food reviewed so that's a good feeling.

how is it a misinterpretation. he said plainly and clearly that he did not make money from china.

his records say that he did, in fact, make money from china.

it's pretty cut and dry, plain as day

It was clearly a discussion about making money with backdoor political deals not privately owned businesses but ok. This is deliberately taken out of context

A bank isn't a nation... right Bank of America?

To be fair though, Trump Grill has over 200 ratings whereas the brew pub you work has 11 and some of the reviews specifically mention they only had beer and no food (though your food still gets plenty of shout outs). Still a solid rating being almost straight 5's aside from that one 4. As a brewery, I'd recommend trying to get a larger presence on BeerAdvocate. Not much there for you guys. That site can really draw all the beer nerds in if that's what you're looking for.

Lol ok, typical helly. He openly discussed his business dealings in China in the debate. He didn't lie about anything

You have posts in a Facebook group called "GameFAQs PotDers!" and your Facebook lists the brewery you work at. I recommend either deleting the posts from the group or making your workplace private. As it is, it's fairly accessible for most of us to find. I only stumbled across it while I was investigating other accusations made against you.

Why? It's obvious they were made up. That's why they are all blocked.

What is it with lefties and just repeating a catchphrase over and over again to attempt to prove their point even when its been debunked? I guess its easier than trying to practice critical thinking and being aware of nuance in discussion between human beings

Is that place also a brewery? If so, get them on BeerAdvocate too! I think for a place producing craft beer, that can do more for your business than Yelp. Also, since you're in a city that has Eater coverage, might be worth trying to get featured on there. They have a big following.

but it hasn't been debunked.

well, no, it has actually, because he did make money from china.

you do this alot, where trump says something that's proven to be a lie, and you go "well actually what he MEANT was" and no. it doesn't work that way. he did not mean anything different than what he said. period. end of story. any attempt to try and spin it as anything other than what he said is loose conjecture. the facts are is that he said "x" which is proven to be a lie because of "z" evidence.

Trump doesn't make money from china. He makes money IN China. There's a difference

For a president that claims to know all the best words he sure has to have a lot of people explain what he really meant whenever he says something fucking stupid. Which is daily.
