New Trump Hotel Set To Open In Heart Of Mississippi Delta : NPR
But Thigpen said the connection to  Trump  won't be obvious.
"It's my understanding that the  Trump  name is not going to be attached to the hotel " he said. "It's not going to be the 'Trump Scion ' it's going to be the 'Scion.'"
Mississippi voted overwhelmingly for  Trump  as president  but Cleveland  a majority-black city of just over 12 000 people  leans toward Democrats. And a Trump-backed hotel doesn't appeal to everyone.
"But to be honest  when they made mention that  Donald Trump's  name was on  it   I most definitely changed my mind completely  because ... I just don't feel comfortable spending my money knowing that it would be supporting him and his ideas " Williams said  as he sipped on a big glass of sweet tea.
"Regardless of how we may feel about the president and his politics  there are a lot of individuals who like his administration and what he's doing " Simmons said  adding that many people coming to this area will want to stay at  Trump 's hotel. "So the Chawlas would probably do extremely well having that name associated with it."
