Panama votes to boot Trump Hotels out of country

http://www.rawstory.com/2018/01/panama-votes-to-boot-trump-hotels-out-of-country/

An attempt to try to strip President Donald Trump's name from a hotel building in Panama has turned bitter, with the U.S. leader's hotel company refusing to leave the Central American country without a fight.

Owners of the Trump International Hotel in Panama City, the country's capital, are reportedly fighting to have the name of the building changed and oust the president's hotel management company, Trump Hotels.

However, two people familiar with the matter have told the Associated Press that Trump's staff "ran off" a team of Marriott executives invited last month to visit the property as a prospective new hotel operator.

The head of Trump Hotels, Eric Danziger, also called Marriott's CEO to complain about the visit, the two people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, told AP.

Trump ran for Prez because he thought it would be win-win: build his brand from free publicity even if he lost.

However, because he has no wisdom, he is now in a situation where every tweet he utters chips away at the worth of his brand. His Russian oligarchs might call in his debts if he doesn't lift sanctions on them and Putin.

And ... Mueller.

I heard that the Trump Place in New York are looking to remove the brand too.

Jareds 666 Sixth Ave is about to go belly up.

Karma are hitting Trump nicely amd hopefully will render Donald J Trump empire as bankrupt with Orange Shitgibbon owing US Treasury more than he is worth.

Right now his hotel in DC makes some money, but only because some patronize it in hopes of receiving favor from the despot-in-chief.
