Atlantic City Officials Seek Court Order for Immediate Demolition of Trump Plaza Tower
Atlantic City officials on Thursday announced that the city planned to file an injunction in New Jersey Superior Court to demolish Trump Plaza tower after an official inspection declared the crumbling building an imminent hazard.

After meeting with a city construction official and conducting an inspection the property was declared an imminent hazard. ....

These buildings need to be maintained, and they need to be kept safe, Evans said. The most important thing for us is public safety. We need to ensure that the owners of these buildings do not create a situation that is going to pose a threat or risk to the city, or to any pedestrians for that matter, that are within the vicinity of this building. .
The building is currently owned by billionaire Carl Icahn, who purchased President Donald Trumps former casino (which has been closed since 2014) through bankruptcy proceedings in 2016.
Previously, a Noreaster storm had torn away pieces of the former hotel in 2018, scattering debris that reached the citys storied boardwalk.

Great optics to seeing this building crashing down, say around late October?

Seriously, I bet anything the ratings would go through the roof and would drive drumpf even more insane than he already is, if that's possible.
