New Yorkers living in three Trump-branded residential buildings owned by Chicago-based Equity Residential are as outraged as the rest of us. They staged a revolt and won:
In all, about 600 residents of the three rental towers in Trump Place signed the online petition, which began circulating weeks ago after the public release of a decade-old recording of Trump boasting about groping women and kissing them without their consent.
Tenants learned on Tuesday from the company that owns and manages the New York skyscrapers, which hold 1,325 rental apartments, that the huge gold letters spelling out "Trump Place" would be removed from the sides of the buildings within days.
"We're all very excited and thrilled, and it's about time," said Marjorie Jacobs, who has lived in one of the buildings for five years. "We're disgusted with the results of the presidency."
The Trump name will remain on other buildings owned by a different company. For now.
