Trump brand in Canada is literally worth less than zero.

Negative $6million, in this case...

---------

Donald Trump’s business will be paid millions of dollars to release the owner of a Toronto hotel complex from using his name.

JCF Capital ULC, the closely held U.S. firm that owns the Trump International Hotel & Tower in the city’s downtown business district, reached a buyout deal to exit the contracts with the Trump Organization’s hotel unit, the companies said Tuesday in a statement. While no breakup fee was disclosed, the amount was at least $6 million, according to a person with knowledge of the matter. Signage may be removed from the 65-story tower as soon as Aug. 1, said the person, who asked not to be identified discussing confidential details.

The Trump brand should become so tainted with scandal and become so detestable that it is shunned world-wide.

The less we see of those 5 letters the better, get them off as many buildings and golf courses as soon as possible.
