A member of One Direction claims President Trump once kicked the British boy band out of Trump Tower in New York after they refused to meet with one of his daughters, CBS News reports. "He phoned up our manager, and we were asleep," Liam Payne tells a UK magazine. "He said, ‘Well, wake them up,’ and I was like, ‘No.'" Payne continues: “So he was like, ‘OK, then I don’t want you in my hotel.'" Jezebel—which believes the daughter in question is likely Tiffany, not Ivanka—notes that this may have been a major strategic blunder on Trump's part. One Direction's fans are notoriously virulent in defense of the group's honor and could turn out to the polls to exact their revenge in 2020. (More One Direction stories.)
