Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino, which was previously owned by the President of the United States Donald Trump , demolished with a directional blast. The authorities of the city of Atlantic City (New Jersey) will play the right to this at an auction. This was announced by Mayor Marty Small and his speech was broadcast on Facebook .
“We are demolishing this building in the light of Trump’s past in our city. Trump took advantage of bankruptcy laws, made big money in Atlantic City and then left the city and its inhabitants to the mercy of fate,” Small said. The demolition of the building is timed to coincide with the Republican’s loss in the US presidential election.
The proceeds from the auction will go to help a youth club that provides vocational training for teenagers.
Trump Plaza was supposed to be demolished on December 31, but this was postponed until February 2021. The building has been closed since 2014 and is currently owned by 84-year-old billionaire Card Icahn. This is not the only building of Trump’s empire. At one time, the billionaire built six Trump Plaza, one of which is in Israel.
