I donā€™t think this will start to bother him until heā€™s thrown out of office.

Can we please get his name off that building in Chicago? Itā€™s a fucking eyesore.

Big fucking deal. Of course, I would be embarrassed too. But then you read this:

The Trump organization still maintains the buildings, according to the Post.

ā€¦and yā€™know, the whole idea of him not giving up being able to profit from his businesses (no matter where or what they are) while in office, still pisses me off.

There will be a party on 5th Avenue when ā€œTrump Towerā€ is removed from Trump Tower.

Easiest thing is to replace the ā€œTrumpā€ on these buildings with some popular name everyone can agree on, preferably with five letters. ā€œObamaā€ comes to mind. Just saying.

I wouldnā€™t be so sure about that. Iā€™m pretty sure every chisel strike removing his awful moniker from his namesake buildings is another blow to Grumblethinskins fragile ego. And the best part is he can never let it go.

Way worse than that. I used to love looking down the river from the Lake Shore Drive bridge. Not now.

Oh you misunderstand. Iā€™m sure the business inā€¦Panama, I think it was, where his name was pounded off a building with a sledgehammer, still sticks in his craw. He just likes using the presidency as a tool to bury it. Once heā€™s out of the White House, heā€™ll have more time to think about such things and theyā€™ll enrage him more,

Will the stench go away with the lettering?

some ammonia should help

He certainly seems to take the fact of his election as a kind of universal validation. Whenever heā€™s stuck in an argument he says ā€œIā€™m president and youā€™re not nah nah nah.ā€ But I also think Tio has a point in that every little negative thing is intensely painful to him, and the symbolism here cuts deep. Describing himself as a big noise in real estate was really a large part of who he was across the decades. Just the other day we heard the failsons have abandoned their effort to ā€œrebrandā€ Trumpā€™s crap hotels and stuff with other names. Which is big because when he couldnā€™t really do development any more, he did licensing, and now his name is too poisonous for thatā€”what was once valuable is now a liability. Heh.

Oh absolutely. But he likes using the White House as a shield in hope that people will not pay too much attention to things like this. Remember his comment after it was proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that President Obama was a U.S. citizen? ā€œI donā€™t talk about that anymore.ā€

Iā€™ve eaten tomatoes that have thicker skins that what this dude has over his bones.

No problem, Iā€™m agreeing with both of you. Classic Libran move. : )

And remember, these were people living in new york who were willing to buy overpriced apartments in a building with his name on it in the first place. Even the arrivistes have abandoned him.

New Yorkers have despised Grumblethinskin ever since his foul air blew in from Queens. Indeed, New Yorkerā€™s reflexive loathing began well before SPY magazineā€™s Graydon Carter and Kurt Andersen even coined ā€œshort-fingered vulgarianā€ in January 1988.

Fun Fact: Foul Air, sometimes called ā€˜Bad Airā€™, is a cave atmosphere which has a noticeable abnormal physiological effect on humans.

Fun Fact II: In Manhattan, home to Trump Tower, the people who know him best voted nearly 87% for Clinton while Comrade Cockholster received less than 10% of the vote.
