GoTrump.com was a travel website that was launched by American business magnate Donald Trump in 2006. The company later folded in 2007. The site's tagline was "The art of the travel deal", a reference to Trump's autobiography, The Art of the Deal.

Donald Trump announced the creation of GoTrump.com at Trump Tower in New York City in 2006. Trump stated at the press conference, "I will find you the great travel deals, whether you are looking to book a luxury getaway or just want the best rate on airlines and hotels worldwide. We are already working with an esteemed group of partners including Travelocity, American Airlines, American Express, Blue Star Jets and Joonbug."[1]

The site featured "Trump's picks", which were marketed as Donald Trump's favorite hotels and resorts.[1]

After the launch of the company, The Washington Post quoted Henry Harteveldt of Forrester Research who called it a "vanity site" for Trump and it would not make much money.[2]

In 2006 GoTrump.com was announced as the title sponsor of the GoTrump.com Cup on the US Pro Golf Tour. If the company had not ceased operations in 2007 it would have had the naming rights for the cup until 2010.[3]
