1. GOOD.

One more down.

2. I guess the Trump "brand"....

isn't worth a turtle's turd anymore. It's the little things in life that make it bearable some times. and this is certainly one of those times. Trump has valued his "brand", meaning his name, to be worth $30 billion. I think bankruptcy number six is right around the corner for the orange anus. He won't have his campaign cash to pay his legal fees after we kick his ass out of the White House, and something tells me republicans are going to forget all about him in short order. To see Trump swinging in the wind would be priceless. People would find out how little he's really worth, and the embarrassment would kill him.

3. "Trump" in name only.

Someone else financed it. Someone else built it. Someone else manages(d) it. Someone else lost money. Trump only sold its name for use.

5. Agreed

Maybe they can get the name off of the place and eventually restart.

6. I live there and those letters lording over Georgia Street are gut wrenching

Right in the heart of downtown Vancouver.

While I feel some sympathy for the workers out of a job, (even though I wonder at their initial desire to work under that banner). I for one, do not feel sorry at all for TA Hotel Management. They opened this in 2017 and proudly used his name after all the crazy birther talk. After "grab em by the p****". After all the other crap he pulled during the primaries and election campaign.

I will be glad just to not have to walk under those huge letters and the dark shadow they have thrown over that street.

7. So it wasn't the Trump family whorehouse that closed?

Trudeau Trolls Trump with Photo of Grampa's Canadian "Hotel".
Trudeau presented Trump with a photo of his grandfather's whorehouse in Canada. Troll level: Grand Master!

Great moment between @JustinTrudeau and @POTUS when he gave him picture of the President’s grandfather’s hotel in Canada.

It was a brothel.
