One hotel sign many Vancouverites wish to see gone.
Good riddance to Trump's presence in Vancouver and his mean spirited USA presidency.
The Trump International Hotel and Tower is a residential skyscraper and former hotel in Downtown Vancouver.
01 March, 2018, CNN reported the FBI opened a counterintelligence investigation into Ivanka Trump; scrutinizing her international business deals at the tower.
Signage on the hotel indicates it was shut down 04 April, 2020 due to COVID-19.
28 August, 2020 it was announced the Hotel would remain permanently closed. Hotel employees were informed without warning that they had lost their jobs permanently.
TA Hotel Management, the local operating subsidiary of the hotel and tower, filed for bankruptcy in 2020.
Sad but perfect ending IMO.
There was major backlash to the idea of opening a Trump tower in Vancouver before the doors opened 28 February, 2017.
Then-mayor Gregor Robertson wrote to Holborn (the tower developer) in 2015 on behalf of the citizens of Vancouver asking the developer “quickly” remove the branding from the project. Robertson also asked the city manager to explore whether the city could force the developer to remove the name.
“Trump’s name and brand have no more place on Vancouver’s skyline than his ignorant ideas have in the modern world,” Robertson wrote. Vancouver city councillor Kerry Jang echoed those sentiments calling the tower “a beacon of racism."
TRUMP LIES - A SMALL SAMPLE:
And why it’s so nice to see this hotel disappear from Vancouver and Trump from the presidency:
Trump routinely said things that were not only wrong, but the precise opposite of right. He said them over and over, no less so when the deceptions were exposed.
“It’s simply gotten to the point where Donald Trump has told so many lies in so many different ways it makes you wonder if we’re living in a post-truth world,” said Richard Waterman, a University of Kentucky political science professor who studies the presidency.
President Donald Trump spent his first days in office pushing false claims about the size of his inauguration crowd.
He spent the final weeks of his term blitzing the American people with falsehoods and far-fetched conspiracies as part of a failed attempt to overturn the election he lost — cementing his legacy as what fact checkers and presidential historians say is the most mendacious White House occupant ever.
Trump was denied a 20 January farewell parade to take place at the White House, Joint Base Andrews or his final destination of Palm Beach – but the issue is moot now when the Pentagon said it would not participate regardless.
The estimated number of lies Donald Trump has told since 2016 - 25,000.
Here are a few:
First raises for our military in 10 years.
Family separations began under Obama.
I won the 2017 election popular vote.
My inauguration crowd was the biggest ever.
I’m not denying climate change. But it could very well go back.
We should be focused on clean and beautiful air-not expensive and business closing GLOBAL WARMING-a total hoax!
As someone who cares deeply about the environment, which I do, I cannot in good conscience support a deal that punishes the United States (The Paris Accord), which is what it does—the world’s leader in environmental protection―while imposing no meaningful obligations on the world’s leading polluters.
We love clean, beautiful West Virginia coal. We love it. And you know, that’s indestructible stuff. In times of war, in times of conflict, you can blow up those windmills, they fall down real quick. You can blow up those pipelines. They go like this, and you’re not going to fix them too fast. You could do a lot of things to those solar panels, but you know what you can’t hurt? Coal. You can do whatever you want to coal.
California wildfires are being magnified & made so much worse by the bad environmental laws which aren’t allowing massive amounts of readily available water to be properly utilized. It is being diverted into the Pacific Ocean. Must also tree clear to stop fire from spreading!
If we can hold that down … to have between 100,000 and 200,000 (COVID-19 deaths) we’ve all together done a very good job.” — Trump at a March 29 White House news conference, referring to COVID-19 deaths.
20 January, 2021 - US DEATHS EXCEEDED 400,000 & THIS IS UNDERESTIMATED.
I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will have Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words."
It's really cold outside, they are calling it a major freeze, weeks ahead of normal. Man, we could use a big fat dose of global warming!
The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.
"[John McCain is]... not a war hero. He's a war hero - he's a war hero 'cause he was captured. I Like people that weren't captured, OK, I hate to tell you.”
Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is going on.
I look very much forward to showing my financials, because they are huge.
Sorry losers and haters, but my IQ is one of the highest - and you all know it! Please don't feel so stupid or insecure, it's not your fault.
Show me someone with no ego and I'll show you a big loser.
I was down there, and I watched our police and our firemen, down on 7-Eleven, down at the World Trade Center, right after it came down.
I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters.
Why are we having all these people from shithole countries coming here?
I loved my previous life. I had so many things going. This is more work than in my previous life. I thought it would be easier.
Crooked Hillary Clinton is the worst (and biggest) loser of all time. She just can’t stop, which is so good for the Republican Party. Hillary, get on with your life and give it another try in three years!
If Hillary Clinton can't satisfy her husband what makes her think she can satisfy America?
Russia will have much greater respect for our country when I am leading it than when other people have led it…If Putin likes Donald Trump, I consider that an asset, not a liability, because we have a horrible relationship with Russia.
[Kim Jong-Un] speaks and his people sit up at attention. I want my people to do the same.
North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the “Nuclear Button is on his desk at all times.” Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!
On The Absolutely One-Sided Violence In Charlottesville
“We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides. On many sides.”
I’m the least racist person you have ever interviewed.
Trump’s hateful, ignorant, hurtful, bold faced lies are non ending.
Thankfully, hopefully Trump is done tormenting the USA and the world.
