how Trump got his name on a Chicago hotel
Trump battled in 2014 to plaster his name on the Trump International Hotel and Tower, despite opposition by Chicagoans who thought it spoiled a skyline with no other giant names on buildings.
Trump got his way after a $50,000 campaign contribution to soon-to-be Mayor Emmanuel Rahm and a $5,000 donation to the city alderman whose district included the Chicago Trump Tower, the Tribune noted. He also hired the tax attorney of another alderman (since indicted), and shaved his tax bill by $12 million over six years, according to the Tribune.

so we glean two things here. one, Trump is politically savvy and knows how to grease some palms to get what he wants. and the attorney wasn't indicted. the congressman was. for what exactly?
you might want to find out on that and let us know if it means anything. or not.

How about that. Trump got his name on a Hotel. How come you don't have your name on something? I'll answer that question for ya. It's because you're not that dam important.

This is a non-story. I don't even like Trump and I'm saying that. Trump's biggest asset (although intangible) is his last name because it is synonymous with luxury properties. Why the fuck wouldn't he do that if he could in one of the biggest cities in this country? Sounds like a smart business move to me and that's it. Was it crooked? Probably. Is it uncommon for billionaire real estate developers to get a leg up on the competition by any somewhat reasonable means necessary? I highly doubt it.
What's next? A thread about Trump farting at the dinner table while dining with Kanye and Nick Fuentes? LOL

The reason it is a story of interest is the Chicago Tribune is calling for removal of his name from the hotel.

That's the Tribune's problem. They don't own that Hotel. Besides who has the power to change it without stepping into some kind of Legal battle?

Last year, Alderman Gilbert Villegas sponsored an ordinance that would ban “any person convicted of treason, sedition or subversive actions from doing business with the city, including having a sign permit.” The Tribune at the time defended Trump’s right to have the sign.
But now, enough is enough, the newspaper declared.
The Tribune’s editorial board’s reversal came after Trump called for terminating the Constitution last week.
But even more significantly to the newspaper, Trump’s company was convicted Tuesday on 17 counts of criminal tax fraud, falsifying records and other crimes in New York State Supreme Court in Manhattan.
The “jury found that the Trump Organization was corrupt at the core, we are less than shocked to learn, helping executives dodge required taxes on a punch bowl of perks from luxury apartments to Mercedes-Benzes to cold, hard, cash,” the editorial noted.
“Let’s review,” it continued. “In a matter of days, if not hours, Trump failed to do his duty to support the Constitution, an act that should preclude a further run for president, and the Trump Organization was exposed as a criminal enterprise.”
“And Chicagoans still have to look at that sign?”
The newspaper urged: “Reintroduce an ordinance. Evoke moral turpitude. Try to get it taken down. This time with our support and, we’ll wager, most everyone who lives there.”

Trumpy's name has been coming off of properties domestically and internationally as he usually is at best a minority partner but usually has no equity stake but rather is only paid for the use of his brand, which especially outside this country, is seen as an liability and an embarrassment, increasingly here as well. his major source of income is donations from his truck driver and other working class acolytes, and he is very successful at extracting money from those types.
