GoTrump.com was a travel-focused website initiated by Donald Trump in 2006 and discontinued the following year, 2007. Its slogan, "The art of the travel deal," was a nod to Trump's book, The Art of the Deal.
The launch event for GoTrump.com took place at Trump Tower in New York City on January 24, 2006. Trump emphasized collaborations with several firms including Travelocity, American Airlines, American Express, Blue Star Jets, and Joonbug. The platform offered access to 60,000 hotels, featuring a selection called "Trump's picks," which showcased resorts personally favored by Trump. Utilizing Travelocity’s booking infrastructure, the website sought to provide competitive pricing on flights and accommodations worldwide.
Trump expressed confidence that the venture would achieve "tremendous success." Nevertheless, industry expert Henry Harteveldt labeled the project a "vanity site" with limited revenue potential, projecting earnings in the low millions annually. Promotion of GoTrump.com included appearances on Trump's radio program Trumped! and plans for exposure during the sixth season of The Apprentice. The site was ultimately shut down in 2007.
Starting in March 2016, visitors to GoTrump.com were redirected to DonaldJTrump.com, which served as the official website for Trump's presidential campaign. From 2016 until 2022, ownership of the domain transferred to The Lincoln Project, and it currently redirects users to their main webpage.
