Some residents in a Florida condominium apartment complex owned by Donald Trump want the name of the presidential candidate to be removed from the building's signage.
A petition to be signed by residents is now circulating, stating, "We, the undersigned owners of condominium apartments at Trump Plaza of the Palm Beaches request that you give consideration to putting up for a vote whether to re-name the building 'The Plaza' as was originally the intention of the developer."
Once the petition gets enough signatures, it will be presented to the complex's board.
When the original developer of the twin 32-story towers went bankrupt after the construction was finished in 1985, Trump bought the property for $40 million, carved his name on it and beautified the public areas, as reported by Page Six news.
Now that he is running for president, delivering politically intriguing opinions, some owners of the condominium buildings he owns want his name erased.
There was also an incident in Canada, where the Toronto city councilor and the mayor of Vancouver have called to remove Trump's name from towers in their cities.
The Daily Mail news has reported that the people living at Trump Plaza in Palm Beach have demanded a referendum for the removal of Trump's name, following his string of controversial comments.
After Donald Trump made contentious remarks on Muslims, some of the residents no longer want to be associated with the real estate tycoon.
The residents at Trump Tower in Chicago last week had said that they feared that they might be targeted by terrorists because of the building's link to Donald Trump.
'I'm worried about a terrorist attack against the building. I wish he'd shut up,' said an employment lawyer who owns an apartment in the Trump International Hotel & Towers in Chicago.
A woman who wants to remain anonymous has said that she is ashamed to admit to anybody that she lives in a place with the name Trump on it.
