The DNC is tagging Trump International Hotel and Tower amid reports former president plans to use his property during the Democratic convention

Main thing they’re doing:

Party operatives, armed with a high-powered projector, booked themselves a room across the street from Trump Tower to display the message “Trump-Vance: Out For Themselves” — along with other slogans intended to rankle, rile, and otherwise irritate the candidate — across his 92-story building’s gleaming glass facade.

    I find it very telling that Trump is particularly unpopular in his home town. But hey, that’s completely understandable, after all, New Yorkers have known Trump’s shady business practices quite well for a long time and he also still owes the city half a billion dollars. He doesn’t seem to be particularly popular in Chicago either - as probably in any major city anyway.

      What kills me is he spent ~20 years destroying everything he touched in Atlantic City, including but not limited to stiffing contractors and bankrupting casinos. It was all over the news cycle, as kid me clearly remembers. But none of it seems to matter to the NJ magats, even the ones that lived through it as adults. Dude’s been a con man his whole fucking life, and was never shy about it. Just loud with the persecution act.

      I sincerely do not understand.

        The cases are in an appeal position. Allegedly the bond is on holding by a bonding insurance company pending the results of the appeal.
