Trump Organization signs deal for first Australian skyscraper

SYDNEY — The Trump Organization has signed a deal to build its first tower in Australia, in a project worth 1.5 billion Australian dollars ($1.06 billion) that developers say will become the country’s tallest building.

The 91-story skyscraper is planned for the Gold Coast, a popular seaside destination in the Australian state of Queensland. It will include a “six-star resort-hotel,” 270 apartments, shops, a beach club and a swimming pool, local property developer Altus Property Group said in a statement.

“Australia’s tallest building will be a Trump Tower, right in the middle of Surfers Paradise — it’s great for Queensland tourism, and fantastic for Australia,” the company said.

“It won’t have a Four Seasons or Ritz Carlton brand above the front door, but it will say ‘Trump.’ And that means it is a no-expense-spared, highest-possible-quality building — the best in the world.”

I hereby apologize to the good people of Australia who are going to have to endure seeing Trump’s name on a tacky building on their fine land for the foreseeable future.

Why would they ever let anything Trump anywhere near?

Well, I thought that about Scotland too, and they let
him build a fucking golf course.
