The creepy old Trump Plaza will be imploded in four months! The jokes just write themselves.....Here's to hoping Trump's presidency implodes before that.
You can now buy stuff from Trump's executive suite at Trump Plaza
Now, anyone can buy items from his suite, plus other pieces cherry-picked from throughout the closed hotel and casino.
A Gloucester County auction house is selling pieces from the once-elegant Trump Plaza Sunday, from chandeliers to the lobby's signature consoles featuring a large brass T.
"We've got stuff from the basement to his penthouse, to the suites where stars stayed, like Bruce Springsteen," said Jason Amaradio. His brother, Phil Amaradio, owns S&S Auction Inc., which is hosting the auction Sunday afternoon both in person in Repaupo and online.
Trump Plaza opened in 1984, sleek and glamorous and located on prime real estate on the boardwalk with the Atlantic City Expressway ending almost on its doorstep.
But its casino profits dwindled in the 1990s and 2000s, and expansions to add more gambling space and hotel rooms couldn't save it. The Plaza closed in 2014 and Atlantic City casino mogul Carl Icahn purchased the property but kept it shuttered.
Now, a city official says the buildings will be "imploded" within the next four months.

Bad Karma. Not to mention bad taste.

It will make a great video. In four months means it could correspond with Trump's first court date with Mueller.
