    Trump Tower Loses Longtime Tenant Starbucks

    Starbucks has abandoned its location inside Trump Tower, becoming the
    latest tenant to leave the building.

    The Fifth Avenue skyscraper once hosted dozens of retailers on six
    floors, but the place now looks mostly like a monument to Donald
    Trump. Inside, there's the Trump Store, Trump Grill, Trump Cafe, Trump
    Sweets, a second Trump Store and 45 Wine & Whiskey, a bar named in
    honor of America's 45th president, Donald Trump.

    A handful of independent operators still rent office space upstairs,
    and Gucci continues to pay big money for a storefront that customers
    enter from the street. But Starbucks had been the last big brand
    renting space inside the building's atrium, where Donald Trump
    famously rode down the escalator and announced he was running for
    president.

    Interesting that Trump can't put 2 + 2 together....as a business
    person.

    Best to keep one's mouth shut, but he did not realize this aspect of
    Business 101.
