The Trump Plaza Casino tower in Atlantic City, New Jersey, is set for implosion on January 29, just days after President-elect Joe Biden's presumptive Inauguration Day.
Critics of President Donald Trump and his ongoing "voter fraud" claims are citing the scheduled January demolition of the 39-story tower as a metaphor for his own behavior since Election Day. Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small announced an end to years of financial wrangling over the former Trump casino, which opened in 1984 before closing permanently in 2014. Atlantic City officials deemed the Trump Plaza structure on the famous Boardwalk a "public safety hazard" last March.

Former Democratic Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill shared a video Sunday of an Atlantic City resident proclaiming, "Go Biden" as she stood next to the wrapped and netted structure set for implosion. "There is something poetic that the Trump Plaza in Atlantic City is scheduled for implosion about a week after President Biden takes office," the MSNBC contributor quipped.
