Manhattan condo building to remove 'Trump Place' name

A condominium in New York called "Trump Place" will soon remove President Trump’s name from the building, The New York Times reported on Wednesday.

The condominium, located at 200 Riverside Boulevard, reportedly purchased the rights to use the real-estate mogul’s name back in 2000, but sentiments from some of the owners and residents changed during Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.

The push to have the president’s name removed from the building began last year. A poll that was conducted in February found that a majority of the unit holders surveyed favored having the president’s name removed, The Times reported earlier this year.

After Trump’s lawyers became involved in a legal battle with the condo owners over the building’s licensing agreement, a judge ruled in May in favor of the condo owners and said they were not required to “use the identification ‘Trump’ on the facade of the premises” under the terms of their agreement.

Going to take a lot of bleach and Lysol to scrub the stink away.

Anything that carried the Trump name is bound to be infested with evil spirits.
