i don't know if this was mentioned during the campaign but if it was it wasn't mentioned enough. I just found this on Tim Wise's twitter page at https://twitter.com/timjacobwise?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor
Below is from an article in 2012
<A Las Vegas Strip restaurant bearing the initials of celebrity financier Donald Trump was briefly shut down after health inspectors found violations including month-old caviar and expired yogurt.
DJT, the signature steakhouse at the Trump International Hotel, reopened Nov. 2 with a restored "A'' grade several hours after Southern Nevada Health District officials logged 51 violations during a routine inspection.
Inspectors reported finding outdated, expired, unlabeled, mishandled and improperly stored food, according to a summary posted on the health district's website. The closure was first reported by KTNV-TV as part of a "Dirty Dining" segment focused on area restaurants.
While ready-to-eat food can be stored for up to seven days, inspectors at DJT reported finding the old caviar and yogurt, duck that dated back to June, veal stock and tomato sauce that was almost two weeks old, and expired peanut dressing and black bean chili.
Inspectors found no measures to destroy parasites in undercooked halibut and salmon, and noted that raw tuna was being improperly thawed. Icicles were found in a faulty freezer.>

(146,262 posts)Actually, a lot of restaurants have health violations going on all the time. They should probably be inspected more often than they are. But, that Trump's signature steak house had them is far from surprising. I doubt that he cares about it, either.
