terrorist attacks from Iranian sympathizers.

Also, it would be a monument to a fascist.

It’s good to remind the public.

That would be a nice step..

You are just now noticing this?

Note to Australians: This person is an idiot. Do not do business with him.

Where some degree of responsible development prevails.

That's the last thing Australia's Gold Coast (Miami equivalent) needs.

Which cities have a Trump Tower?
Buildings

Trump Tower Punta del Este, Uruguay.
Trump Towers (Sunny Isles Beach), Florida, US.
Trump Towers Istanbul, Turkey.
Trump Towers Pune, India.
Trump International Hotel and Tower (Chicago), Illinois, US.

Australia dodged a bullet on that one, yuck!

Talk about overcompensating!!!

They were the only ones in the movie theater that got the joke, too. It was shown as a short preview to some film they had gone to see. At first, they were remarking to each other how close Swedish seemed to English (in fact, it is--I learned to speak Swedish years later), until they finally figured out what was going on ("Golden Escargot Films" wasn't a dead giveaway, apparently), and it was English being spoken as fake Swedish. But then they were howling with laughter in the movie theater, being shushed by the other people watching, who hadn't gotten the joke yet, and were under the impression they were seeing some kind of preview for the next Ingmar Bergman film.

By the way, this was also the inspiration for the closing scene of the TFT video "My Pillow, My Pillow, My Pillow."

We borrowed a line from Johnny Cash referring to this, too:

"Moscow Tower will get a buyer.
"Don't believe it, I'm a liar."

construction. You could also count on Trump to declare bankruptcy and leave an ugly eyesore behind.

And pull his name off of their buildings. His golf properties are done too. I don't think Trump org's new Persian Gulf golf business ventures are going to continue either.

That makes no sense. Obviously something else happened to trash this deal.

The Aussies don't have their finger in the wind.

The brand has been garbage. But the developers probably thought that Trump would be bringing money to the table. Bad assumption.

. . . Nearly everybody I met asked how our country could ever have elected Trump. In fact, there are quite a number of things about American culture that they have a very hard time understanding.

The thing is, Australians (at least all of the ones I met), are laid back, very reasonable people. Their politics varies, of course, from one person to the next. But whether they fall to the left or the right of the political spectrum, most recognize that the taxes they pay to support things like their robust system of public health, which includes dental as well as medical coverage, or programs that help those who are enduring difficult times financially, are a good and necessary thing.

So it really doesn't surprise me in the least that they would find the Trump brand to be too toxic!
