Trump has properties all over the world. They're now major terrorism targets.

Even before Donald Trump became president-elect, Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan called for his name to be scrubbed from Istanbul’s Trump Towers. Erdogan pinned his plea to Trump’s Islamophobia, saying that the candidate “has no tolerance for Muslims in America.”
Now that Trump is weeks from assuming the presidency, cities that host his many branded properties have an additional concern to consider: the potential terrorism threat brought by his name.
“Donald Trump is a controversial, colorful and very high-profile personality,” said Charles Regini, a former FBI agent who heads global response for the Unity Resources Group. “This type of high-profile behavior has the tendency of drawing the attention of potential attackers and further increases the risk of attacks to properties with his name distinctly displayed.”
Or, as Daveed Gartenstein-Ross, senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, put it: “If [Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi] were killed, or [al-Qaeda leader] Ayman al-Zawahiri, you can try to strike the president or strike in the United States. Or you can strike a Trump hotel.”
Trump’s position and rhetoric have made him a star of Islamic militant propaganda: Groups know him as brand and firebrand. Video of him and remarks by him have been used by the Islamic State and al-Shabab. Typically, they highlight Trump’s anti-Muslim rhetoric.
