Try Googling Manhattan and then zoom in on the map to the 5th Ave/46th St area. For me it comes up "Dump Tower". If I search for Trump Tower specifically, it will say "Trump Tower" as it should.

But try zooming in on a map of Manhattan (using Google Maps) and see what you get.

Yup. My wife and I tried it on both of our computers, using IE, and simply going to a zoomed in Google map of Manhattan, just south of Central Park. Comes up “Dump Tower”.

Rand McNally maps does not do this, but other maps based off Google, such as Gas Buddy’s gas price map, show “Dump Tower”.

Obviously, someone hacked the Google site and replaced Trump with Dump, and it was seen by you and others.

I never saw it with my Chromebook, Android Tablet or phones.

So Google didn’t do it, it was a hacker.

It was good that you brought up what you saw up, posted and advised Google.
