Just snapped. Also tried it on another computer that hasn't searched this before and it's fine there too, using Firefox.

Go to Google maps and search NYC Trump Tower. "Dump Tower" Use Bing instead?
“Dump Tower, 725 5th Ave, New York, NY 10022” when you enter ‘Trump Tower’
Ha, there’s a “suggest an edit” feature. Needless to say, I suggested an edit....
I’ve looked at it several times over the past couple of weeks and now as then it says “Trump Tower” just like it should. This is in Chrome, maybe you have picked up some browser redirect or virus.
Or maybe it’s the Russians.

You can email Google a complaint.
The last time I complained about a search result, it was repaired by the time I could even refresh my search to check if they fixed it.
I am looking at one map that has “Dump Tower” and “Trump Tower” on the same building.
I just sent a complaint (using the “Feedback” function on the bottom of the page) and highlighted the pertinent section of the map.
From the behavior of the “Dump Tower” label when I tried to click on it to make the complaint, it looks like it was a user addition, and not an actual Google Maps label.
The children in Mountain View just changed the label. It's their passive aggressive way of expressing their frustration at not getting their way on election day. They're not used to not getting their way. Shades of getting "George W. Bush" when you did a Google search for "useless idiot" back in 2004.
Either that or somebody just forgot to take their Ritalin.
Talking about “dump”———— I did that to Google some time ago.
I believe they did just fix it. Definitely different than when I first searched it. Now says ‘Trump Tower’. Now, if I search ‘Dump Tower’, it sends me to the “Dump International Hotel & Tower” on the corner of Central Park near Lincoln Center. I suggested an edit, there, too. Watching for an update.
If you search for Trump Tower on Google Maps, and then zoom in a bit, you will see the “dump tower” name appear...very sleazy
The hotel in your screen grab is still showing up “Dump International Hotel & Tower” still on my laptop.
In addition, when one overs the mouse over other stores/buildings/establishments, a popup appears with the name and a couple of details. Not so for Trump Tower.
I avoid the cancer known as Google whenever possible.
I am using Firefox, Pale Moon, IE and Chrome with the link provided in the post. The results are the same: "Dump Tower". If I search myself the key words "Trump Tower" without quotation marks, the results are good with the correct name. Also, I used all the browsers I have with the same results.
How do I get the "Dump Tower" results trough search? For example, I am searching for "Tiffany and Co in New York" and I go on the map next to the one to the Trump Tower and "Dump Tower" shows up. This is the big trickery they play.
On my google map it says “Joon New York Trump Tower Closed”
What now appears as Dump International Hotel and Tower is actually their property on Central Park West, just off Columbus Circle.
Problem is, The Trump Organization has a LOT of properties. This could be a moving target.
Fake Maps
Google just changed it back to Trump Tower.
Looks like we’re going to be busy the next 4-8 years watching Trump’s back. ;^)
Says dump tower. Obviously done intentionally by a wacko employee.
(Search by "trump" and you get "Joon Restaurant" before "Trump Tower")
Google maps on my tablet says dump, as well
