Trump International Hotel & Tower in Toronto dumps "Trump" branding. Make Canada GREAT again!



The owner of the Trump International Hotel & Tower in Toronto has reached a deal that would remove President Donald Trump’s name from the front of the building.

Bloomberg reports that JCF Capital ULC, which owns the Trump-branded building in downtown Toronto, has reached a buyout deal with the Trump organization to have Trump signage removed from the building as early as August 1 this year.

Although the report doesn’t say definitively that the Trump branding is being removed to counter the president’s toxic brand, it does note that the hotel has become a lightning rod for anti-Trump protesters in the country.

“The agreement to remove the Trump brand marks the first step toward revamping the property, which has faced a history of construction delays and lawsuits,” Bloomberg writes. “Most recently, it’s been a site for protests against the U.S. president’s comments disparaging women, Mexicans, and Muslims, even though his company has no ownership stake in the property.”

as soon as Trump became President anything with his name on it became a more likely target for terrorists.

Why would any company continue to put up with that additional risk any longer than they are required?
