According to a May piece published in New York magazine, Trump Tower--Trump's soon-to-be former Manhattan address--has been suffering due to the connotation of the name "Trump" and daily hassles with increased security.
One Tower resident told New York the first year of Trump's presidency:
"There are now Secret Service members all over the building. They sit in the stairwell. And now you have to drive to Madison Avenue to have your car sniffed before you can drive it in and drop off any packages. There's a scanner on 56th Street. If you're walking in there with packages, you have to put them through, like an airport."
Trump World Tower resident, carpet designer James Tufenkian, told New York:
"I wasn't crazy about the Trump name when I bought it, but I just thought the apartments were so great. I had been seriously thinking about selling before Trump's candidacy, and it clarified things when he started running. I am worried that the Trump name has hurt its value. My family says, 'You have to get out of that building. It's just not appropriate.' I send out emails when people are coming here, saying, 'Please don't blame me for the name on the door.' And they understand when they get here. I never refer to it as the Trump Tower; I only refer to it by its address."
So long, Donnie.
Enjoy the Sunshine state.
Surrounded by oranges is appropriate since you'll soon be wearing that color.
