APNew York – Big, brassy letters spelling “Trump” will be ripped off another New York City apartment tower, the last of six luxury condominiums that once displayed the president’s name.

    Owners got an email Friday from the board of a high-rise on Manhattan’s west side confirming that “Trump Place” will disappear from the facade in coming weeks.

    The move comes after the majority of owners at 220 Riverside Blvd. voted to remove the Trump name, though the Trump Organization still manages the condo.

    The board at nearby 120 Riverside announced Thursday it would no longer be called Trump Place.

    Three adjacent buildings dropped his name before Republican President Donald Trump took office, then another last fall.

    The buildings were developed in the 1990s by a group of Chinese billionaires.

    Trump’s name is mud. Would anyone want to live in Benedict Arnold building?

    Trump is Toast. In a NYC trial the jury will put him away for life. They dont even want to see his name anywhere. The few Ferfrumte in Brooklyn who still pro-Trump don’t do jury-duty. Lets hope he has enough seichel and doesn’t pardon himself or he could do much worse in a NYC trial

    These people are meshuganah! What is the big deal if the name “Trump” appears on a building? One would think that they were dealing with Confederate monuments and statues.

    They wrte never his buildings. I used to think they were. This is a licensing deal and Trump’s name doesn’t improve the marketability of the buildings in NYC.

    What does Trump care anymore. He’s President. He’s going to have a presidential library and some streets or an airport named after him. He might have been upset a few years ago but this is small potatoes now.
