1. Drip, drip, drip.

Pretty soon, nobody in the world will want to be associated with that name.

I honestly don't understand why anyone does now. To me the name Trump stands for tacky, vulgar, over-priced, over-rated property and merchandise. I am surprised that there are still so many stupid, gullible, nouveau-riche, wannabes out there.

2. Hope the 6th building removes his name soon

The article says they voted against it in 2016 due to price of removal and fear of litigation. Look forward to seeing how much more his name being attached lowers prices and how much more he embarrasses himself. And I also look forward to seeing how he’ll react when they do it.
