Donald Trump threw a temper tantrum over a Vanity Fair thrashing of his restaurant Trump Grill, which suggested it could be the worst restaurant in the country, and now the Yelpers have come for him. The restaurant lost a star from its rating overnight, and Yelp has responded with the usual “active cleanup” message, posted when pages are flooded with reviews by people who think lowering a restaurant’s crowdsourced rating is activism.

Some reasons for this may include recent reviews like “the food is just like the owner, a gigantic piece of shit,” “I tried to get in but there was a giant wall around the building,” “one of the most gawdy/tacky places we had ever seen,” and “the tiny-handed owner is a real ass clown.” Also, user Lydia L. writes “don’t bother” with the taco bowls. The restaurant’s rating has steadily dropped from four stars since January, and now sits at a sad two spot. Trump has not yet deigned it necessary to respond on Twitter.
