The Trump Organization was formally evicted from the Trump International Hotel in Panama on Monday morning and the buildings owner wasted no time in taking down Trumps name.
As ABC News reports, Trump Organization staffers were forcibly removed by police from the building on Monday amid a fight with owner Orestes Fintiklis over management of the hotel.
I am the owner, Fintiklis taunted to staffers as they were led out of the building. Love and peace! Fintiklis then sat down at the hotels piano in its lobby and played a song that included the lyrics, Fascism will not prevail.
And as the final humiliation, Fintiklis ordered Trumps name to be ripped off from the outside of the hotel check out ABC News video footage of Trumps name being torn down below.

I volunteer to help out. I'll even bring my own hard hat, eyewear, and crowbar.

Mme. Defarge
(8,037 posts)I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shatter'd visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamp'd on these lifeless things,
The hand that mock'd them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains: round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Like everything else associated withTrump, it is a cheap, obnoxious facade.

It was run on the news stations. I don't think it was an accident. But it was a metaphor.
LiberalLovinLug
(14,175 posts)Sick to my stomach every time I pass by the yuuuuuuge gold letters spelling his fake name over one of our major downtown street buildings. But apparently the Trump family has it set up as that these owners are only using his name for marketing, branding to....get more business i guess? Trump does not own these buildings, he just sells his famous amazing name to plaster the front. Its a built into the contract with the owner so it is impossible to remove...legally.
Personally I don't know who would ever rent in a building like that. Its sad to think there is still a large group of 1%ers that couldn't care less and would gladly pay to walk under that name, and everything it represents, every day.
