The Chicago Tribune is calling for Trump’s name to be “erased” from the city’s skyscrapers

The Chicago Tribune, once a supporter of Donald Trump’s rights, now wants its name “erased” from the former president’s hotel and apartment tower in downtown Chicago, it said in an op-ed Thursday.

Trump fought in 2014 to put his name on the Trump International Hotel and Tower, despite opposition from Chicago, who saw it as part of the skyline without other egomaniacs who insisted on putting their giant names on buildings.

Trump made his way after a $50,000 contribution to Mayor Emmanuel Rahm’s campaign and a $5,000 donation to the alderman whose district includes Chicago’s Trump Tower, the Tribune noted. He also hired another since-indicted tax attorney, a consultant, and reduced his tax bill by $12 million over six years, the paper found.

Last year, Councilman Gilbert Villegas sponsored an ordinance that would prohibit “any person convicted of treason, sedition or subversive actions from doing business with the city, including holding a signature permit.” The Tribune defended Trump’s right to have a sign.

But enough is enough, the paper said.

The editorial board had an epiphany after Trump called for an end to the Constitution last week.

But more tellingly for the paper, two Trump Organization companies — Trump Corp. and Trump Payroll Corp. — were convicted Tuesday of 17 counts of tax fraud, forgery and other crimes in New York State Supreme Court in Manhattan.

“The jury found that the Trump Organization was fundamentally corrupt, we’re less shocked to learn, helping executives avoid necessary taxes for a bowl of perks, from luxury condos to Mercedes-Benzes to cold hard cash,” the editorial said. observed.

“Let’s see again,” he added. “Within days, if not hours, Trump failed in his duty to uphold the Constitution, an act that should prevent another presidential bid, and the Trump Organization was exposed as a criminal enterprise.”

Then he asked, “And Chicagoans still have to look at that sign?”

The paper urged: “Reintroduce an ordinance. You evoke moral turpitude. Try to take it down. This time with our support and, we bet, almost everyone who lives there.”
