Really, the vast majority of Donald Trump’s actions make little to no sense to the outside world. We know this. But the story of him deciding to evict One Direction from one of his hotels? Well, that really takes the cake.
Speaking to Rollacoaster Magazine this week, One Direction member Liam Payne confirmed the story, saying “Trump actually kicked us out of his hotel once. You wouldn’t believe it. It was about [meeting] his daughter.”
(*cough* Tiffany, we’re looking at you *cough*)
According to Payne, upon learning the pop fivesome were staying at the Trump Tower hotel in New York, “He phoned up our manager and we were asleep,” asking to arrange a meeting.
When the band’s manager informed Trump the group were sleeping, the now President of the United States reportedly responded, “well, wake them up”.
Payne said no to the meeting, “and then he wouldn’t let us use the underground garage. Obviously, in New York, we can’t really go outside. New York is ruthless for us,” Payne continued, referring to the relentless tailing from fans and paparazzi the group were subjected to when visiting the Big Apple.
And because Trump is not used to hearing the word "no" and hell hath no fury like the father of a disappointed brat, The Apprentice host decided to take things further.
“So he [Trump] was like, ‘OK, then I don’t want you in my hotel.’ So we had to leave," Payne concluded.

The one thing Payne didn't reveal, though, was which daughter it was that wanted to meet Trump so badly.
Sure, it could have been Ivanka, who would have been in her early 30s at the time, but given Tiffany was in her late teens back in One Direction's heyday, I'm hedging my bets and trust fund on it being her that wanted to kick it with Niall, Harry, Zayn, Louis and Liam.
Was she #TeamLouis? Probably.

How in the world did 62 million people vote for this man? It's beyond insane. If I was American I would be so ashamed and embarrassed. It's truly horrifying. You know it's one thing to complain about our leaders, sure Gillard made some mistakes but you know her heart was always in the right place and she cared. Then you get someone like Trump.............I am so sad for the world.
I have this creepy feeling it was Ivanka who asked to meet them - she seems very immature for her age, Tiffany has said herself she hardly ever saw her dad, Ivanka seems to always want to be in the thick of things and we all know Donny has a soft spot for Ivanka. Also, you know Donald was an absent father when he asks for teenage boys to be woken up - as if.
So an elegant, Wharton Business School educated mother of 3 seems immature to you? I hate to think what mature is.
It's a shame people are still attacking Ivanka personally just for being Donald's daughter - talk about immature?!
I don't like the man but keep the focus on what it should be!
Yeah, they should have like an IQ test or something before anyone is allowed to vote. Imagine electing a candidate that you don't agree with. Democracy is obviously broken.
Do you really think book-smart equals truly smart and mature? I don't believe a smart, mature and educated person would vote for Trump.
