Trump in Other Battles to Get Name Off of Troubled Properties

Real Estate tycoon Donald Trump recently sued to get his name off of two troubled Atlantic City casinos, the Trump Plaza and the Trump Taj Mahal.  This wouldn’t be the first time the Donald has been embroiled in lawsuits to disassociate himself with properties that feature his name.

Trump had previously aligned himself with one Jody Kriss, licensing his name to a failed development in South Florida, The Trump International Hotel & Tower.

That lawsuit turned ugly though a judge eventually found Trump “not guilty” of deceiving potential buyers.
