He might not have any experience running a country, but he did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night!
Donald Trump tweeted an unusual endorsement of the hotel chain on Wednesday night, describing the Holiday Inn Express where he was staying in Indiana as "new and clean, not bad!"
I am in Indiana where we just had a great rally. Fantastic people! Staying at a Holiday Inn Express - new and clean, not bad!

It's not a bad review, but it's not exactly the kind of endorsement you feature in an ad, either. Yet that didn't stop Twitter users from having fun with it.
Many played off the company's “...but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express” ad campaign slogan:
"Are you qualified to be President?"

If TV has taught me anything, spend one night at a Holiday Inn Express and you're ready to perform brain surgery. https://t.co/Nu7pocWMFl

Donald Trump: the only person who can discuss his political rally and review a Holiday Inn Express all in 140 characters.

The thousands of responses to Trump's tweet even caused the phrase "Holiday Inn Express" to trend on Twitter late Wednesday.
Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims — 1.6 billion members of an entire religion — from entering the U.S.
