Stars to boycott Trump Toronto Hotel during film festival
NY Post ^ | September 4, 2015 | Ian Mohr

sources headed to the Toronto International Film Festival tell Page Six that some stars may boycott his branded Trump Toronto Hotel, which was buzzing with starry activity just a year ago.

“No one’s staying at the Trump” this year, sniffed one showbiz vet. “People are not going back. Talent does not want to stay there. It’s like the Beverly Hills Hotel.”

A Weinstein rep told us of its move: “It was simply based on convenience and logistics” rather than “anything to do with Mr. Trump’s politics.” Harvey Weinstein has joked to the Hollywood Reporter that his liberal mom is a Trump fan, and “[Brother] Bob and I are in court trying to abrogate being [our] mother’s sons.” A source said ­Focus’ move is also logistical, while some companies, like the über-hip A24 Films, are returning.

Salma Hayek last year was at a private lunch at Trump Toronto after promoting animated film “The Prophet.” She’s since said of Trump’s stance on Mexican immigration: “Everybody’s entitled to be dumb.” Other critics include Eva Longoria, Marc Anthony, Neil Young and Aaron Paul.

Then again, “No Escape” star Owen Wilson said of Trump: “You can’t help but get a kick out of him . . . We’re so used to politicians on both sides sounding like actors at press junkets . . . Here’s somebody who’s not following that script.” Trump’s also been praised by Mark Cuban, Gene Simmons and Charlie Sheen.

A hotel rep wouldn’t say who will be there due to “guest confidentiality.” A source said, “Trump Toronto is looking forward to another busy and productive week. The hotel will play host to numerous high-profile events. It is always an honor to be an active part of the culture of Toronto.”

Well, that will help reduce the average number of venereal diseases per room by more than half.

It looks to me as if these Hollyweird folks are helping to elevate Trump’s popularity with mainstream Americans.

Whenever liberals do a hatefest on Trump that seems to happen. You’d think they’d LEARN, but they can’t help themselves.

“If I were Trump I’d fly 100 people from Mexico to Toronto and give them free rooms and tickets, and just sit back and enjoy the fun.”

Better yet, I’d fly 100 people from Mexico to Toronto who keep entering America over and over again illegally, committing their nasty crimes, and give them free room and tickets at the places these self-proclaimed intelligentsia go instead of Trump Hotel and THEN just sit back and enjoy the fun.

Boycotts usually hurt the workers most, to be honest. I think Trump’s actual stake in that building is small.

“Salma hayek” sounds like the sound you make when you’re trying to hock something nasty out of your throat. Eva Diarrhea has been listed as one of Obama’s biggest Hollywood supporters. She’s quite the defender of Mexicans, except for when she’s calling a Hispanic cop a “wetback” for daring to write her a citation. The only Trump hater in this story I would have a good thought for was Aaron Paul, and who cares about him now that Breaking Bad is done?

The usual suspect “stars” ... that I’m already boycotting.
