A former Atlantic City casino built by former President Trump will be imploded on Feb. 17, and city officials announced a new auction connected to it to raise money for a youth charity.
Mayor Marty Small on Thursday announced the new date for the destruction of the former Trump Plaza casino, which had been pushed back due to the discovery of an unexpected concrete fixture and a dispute with the building owner, billionaire investor Carl Icahn.
The city originally planned to auction off the right to press the button that would have imploded Trump Plaza on Jan. 29.
But Icahn objected to that plan on safety grounds, saying a member of the public chosen to trigger the detonation could be injured by flying debris, as could any spectators nearby.

I wondered why we never saw the building come down. I sure wish I was rich, I'd get in on the auction action, and double my bid if they painted his face on the side of the building with orange paint.
The best word to refer to trump about ANYTHING is "former"
