You're right about Trump, at least from the perspective that there is no indication he is involved in any way in this business.

However, if you choose to be a celebrity, you have to accept the trash along with the fame.

As long as they don't accuse Trump of anything in the article, it ain't libel.

There are journalism standards of ethics higher then libel and this article does not meet those standards.

The author was just able to string together yacht, prostitution and Trump. He took the low road..

True, but there is some merit to establishing the main figure's relationship to people the reader may be more familiar with.

It allows a more familiar frame of reference.

And the author didn't accuse Trump of anything, or for that matter, other celebrity visitors to the yacht, who were also not implicated by authorities or the writer.

Without the various references, the article is about largely unfamiliar people and the comments would run more to the "who cares about these nobodies" variety.
