@VWDasher
Trumps getting paid to allow his family name to be used in branding what someone else will build and pay for. The "misconception" is that this isn't some kind of bribe.

Are there enough One Nation or LNP-MAGA types to buy into this?

Hope bankruptcy suits this jackass.

@lipservant the site's been derelict for years, be delightful to continue to be, only now with a big Trump sign on it.

@VWDasher why would anyone want to be associated with him?

@stufromoz brain damage?

@VWDasher we had one of those (where the name was licensed or something; not actually developed by any Trump company). It was a hotel and condo combination (somewhat common around here). It got renamed to something else after 5 years
Show threadFrankFeb 23
@giflian I think this might be the same, but considering it's Trump I hope it ends up a derelict site, the developer bankrupt and no one else here wants to touch that fucking name ever again.
Show threadGiflianFeb 23
@VWDasher there were protesters here at the opening, and that was nearly a decade ago. I was glad when it got renamed
Show threadFrankFeb 23
@giflian if this thing gets built, there will be people protesting it. Imagine how shameful it would be to work on the project.
Show threadGiflianFeb 23
@VWDasher licensing the name may be a bribe, or money laundering.
Show threadFrankFeb 23
@giflian why not both?

@VWDasher

Shonky real estate developments in Qld? I'm shocked!

Wait, on the Gold Coast? Unprecedented!
