In the wake of Donald Trump’s executive order banning nationals from seven countries from entering USA, the neo-Nazi approach has been resisted all across the globe. Social media campaigns calling to boycott Trump business entities got huge supports.
An old Twitter post from Trump’s hospitality business had drawn backlash after Trump’s xenophobic policies.
In 2011, Trump Hotel had tweeted: “Tell us your favorite travel memory. Was it a picture, a souvenir, a sunset?”
Twitteratti are now replying to the post with stories of hardships that their refugee ancestors experienced to get to America.
Check out some of the tweets:
My favorite travel memory? My grandfather landing on Ellis Island after dodging bullets on a farm in Eastern Europe. Thx for asking! https://t.co/FxAUh38Ei0

@TrumpHotels @nybooks It was to Syria. In 2010. A beautiful place. A country full of warm, welcoming people who greeted us everywhere like friends.

@TrumpHotels They escaped concentration camps and a country devastated by war. They weren’t turned away and I’m here today because of it.

.@TrumpHotels hearing about my grandfather’s perilous trip to America by boat as a child alone. I wonder if he would be let in today?

@TrumpHotels My ancestors came by boat from Ireland. @realDonaldTrump would have said OK because they were white. Shame on his bigotry today
