A Dubai real estate firm has restored Donald Trump's name on a $6 billion golf complex it is building with the U.S. businessman and presidential hopeful, days after taking it down following his proposal to ban Muslims from entering the United States.

Trump prompted an uproar when he made his comments in response to deadly shootings in California by two Muslims who authorities said were radicalized.

Gold letters spelling out "Trump International Golf Club," affixed to a landscaped stone wall at the entrance to the golf complex being built by DAMAC Properties, were removed on Thursday, according to a Reuters photographer.

Two days later they had been restored. DAMAC declined to comment on Sunday on the brief removal.

They must have figured out that pissing off the next president of the United States is NOT a good business decision.

DAMAC Properties declined to comment on the brief removal of the Trump name.

Probably a multi-million dollar lawsuit made them change their mind.

No. He owns this business. They had no right to take his name off of it.

Now, all those companies that have refused to sell any of his business lines are okay. They disagree with him and pull his product. They can legally hit his pocketbook.

Sounds like vandalism was repaired.

Muslims and leftists have much in common. That is why they like each other so much. Lefties in America would kill those who disagree with them, same as Muslims, if they could get away with it.

Trump = $$$$

$$$$ talk.

It is curious how many feign taking a higher road, and back down after a short while.

Trump = $$$$

Whos bowing now??

I always liked that Journey song...

[Sacajaweau]

You mean like they had a “Deal”?

[Sacajaweau]

And they replace all those product lines with who?? Harry Smith?

So, how many immygints are the Dubies taking?

[HarleyLady27]

Guess they must have re read their contract and found out they didn’t have the money it was going to cost them not to do business with Trump or his trade mark....LOL Good for TRUMP!!!

[Georgia Girl 2]

Bingo!

[Liz]

LOL....yeah....a Trump “art of the deal.”

I’m no expert on Dubai law by any means, but can a foreigner from the West could sue them?

“For Trump, who has been for years striving to expand his brand in the Middle East, particularly in Dubai’s real estate sector ...”

“They must have figured out that pissing off the next president of the United States is NOT a good business decision.”

That seems most likely. Or maybe they are better informed now. Initially, people wondered if he was going to deport all muslims.

Must be a nightmare getting all the permits, etc, to build. I would imagine a smart guy like Donald put his own requirments into the agreement. I know thats what I would do....if you want me to do this, then I want you to do this. So if they signed on to his requirements.....BOOM.....done deal.

Trump has been striving for years to expand his brand in the Middle East, particularly in Dubais real estate sector ...

Remember that cockamamie prince who poured billions into building Palm Islands in the Gulf? He invited Trump to invest. But the canny Donald said no.....good thing, b/c the whole thing collapsed....actually sunk into the Gulf.

Thank you, Liz. And God bless you for your hard work here for so many years!
