Residents at Donald Trump’s “Trump International Hotel And Tower” have admitted to being scared that Donald Trump is making them targets for terrorism, due to his constant remarks concerning Muslims and Islam.
Trump International Hotel And Tower is a skyscraper in Chicago that also has hundreds of condos for sale. You can get your hands on one of these condos for the princely sum of $1 million.
Peter Young, a 44-year old attorney living at Trump Towers, has said the entire situation is “it’s been a little embarrassing.” He states that rather than saying he lives at Trump Towers, he says he “lives on the river.”
An older woman, who didn’t want to be named, tells people she “rents from a doctor” rather than allowing herself to be associated with anything related to Donald Trump. She then went on to say “I’m worried about a terrorist attack against the building. I wish he’d shut up.”
While Trump doesn’t own the building, his name continues to be emblazoned on it in 20-foot high letters.
It’s undeniable that Trump’s comments in the media are having an impact on his brand. According to Tim Calkins, a professor of marketing at North Western University’s Kellog School of Management. He suggests that Trump’s brand was linked to success, wealth and luxury. However, it may start to be linked with “extremism and negative things”
Calkins also believes the Trump hype will die down once the campaign is over. “He has everybody’s attention now, but people won’t be so interested once the campaign is over.” Let’s hope so.
Trump has already lost many deals and endorsements due to his comments on Mexicans, calling them “criminals” and “rapists.” Macy’s, NBC Universal, and a suburban brewery have all pulled out of doing business with Trump.
Boycotting Trump is certainly one way to get rid of him. Hit him where it hurts – his wallet.
