NEW YORK (AP) — Another building is stripping Trump off its entrance.

The New York Times reported Wednesday that residents of Trump Place on the Upper West Side of Manhattan have joined three other buildings in the neighborhood in stripping the president’s brassy five-letter name from their 46-story building in another sign that the brand is losing some of its appeal.

The move follows reports of losses at some of President Donald Trump’s golf courses, and decisions by several hotels that had licensed the president’s name to drop it.

After more than a quarter century, Trump Plaza will now be known only by its address, 200 Riverside Boulevard.

The name had become controversial among the building’s residents during Trump’s campaign and presidency. Owners in the 377-unit tower were worried about the resale value of their condos and also raised concerns about security in condo meetings. But potential legal and other costs of removing Trump’s name kept some from pushing harder for a change.

I guess they didn't want to be associated with fraud

1. I love this because you know it will upset the Baby.

2. Good...

Those buildings are and always have been an eyesore that blocked a nice view of the Hudson River, but will be less so. Driving the West Side Highway will be less aggravating with that fracking name removed.

3. Hopefully they will do the same thing in Vegas

There are a bunch of condos (actually quite a lot) for sale at Fashion Square which is the building that has the trumpft name on it. Funny how none of the condo ads say trumpft building, I only saw one or two photos that show the building with the trumpft name on it, the rest seem to conveniently leave that photo out.

And, there's also a condo for sale on tiger woods drive...

4. Good.

5. People who own condos in his buildings

have taken large losses when they try to sell. Keith Olbermann sold his at a loss last year. I heard one couple say that their daughter's friends wouldn't visit their home anymore and that is when they had enough finally and listed it but couldn't unload it, even at a huge loss.

10. They voluntarily bought the condos w/ the Trump name.

The buyers didn’t seem to mind living in a building named after a tacky, shady, mobbed up, grifter con man until now?

Boo fucking boo.

Edit: It is a good thing that the Trump brand is becoming more toxic by the day.

8. Now if only we could strip the Trump name from the Presidency.

It certainly is devaluing our country.

9. Can we do like the Pharoahs and erase every image of Pres Turd from history?

I hate think of our grandchildren being forced to look at that ghastly visage in their textbooks.
