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.
Then in May, a judge ruled that the Trump Organization was wrong in asserting a contract that obligated residents to keep the name. That freed the way for a formal vote and, in a poll that ended Oct. 10, nearly 70 percent of owners who voted said they wanted to change the name, according to the The New York Times .
The board estimated it would cost about $23,000 to remove the 20 letters from the building and wash the facade.
In addition to three other New York condos, Trump’s name has also been removed from hotels in Toronto, Manhattan’s Soho neighborhood and Panama City since he became president.

Sick and getting sicker.
DemoncRATS working overtime.
Pray tell how this is not high treason ?
The anti Trumpers are part of a society who voted him in to power.
They agree with the voting system and therefore have, by default, agreed that President Trump be their leader, whether they like it or not.
In halocho is he not a king???
And if so they are morid be malchus
No, he’s not a king. This is not a Malchus. And the majority of voters did not vote for him. Perhaps it would be high treason in North Korea, here we live in a free democratic society that has a Bill of Rights.
Next they will contact the dept of vital statistics to hsve his name removed from his birth certificate and name him “other”
Rt, and if Trump owns the buildings then it would be treason to tamper with someone else’s property without permission. Let’s try not to biased.
