Donald Trump says he’s ‘doing good for the Muslims’
A billboard showing Trump golfing was at the Damac Properties’ Akoya development, along with a picture of Trump’s daughter Ivanka.
The post Fallout from Trump remarks about Muslims: Branding removed from Dubai golf course, housing development appeared first on Chronicle-Telegram.

Workers install a new billboard outside developer Damac’s Akoya development in Dubai, United Arab Emirates on Friday, Dec. 11, 2015, after one featuring Donald Trump was removed. In addition, gold lettering of the course name on a stone wall at the entrance to the project site was also removed.

Donald Trump may have just made his most outrageous comment about Muslims yet.
Numerous workers spoke about Trump and the project on the condition of anonymity because they feared losing their jobs.

By Thursday, the image had gone, a Reuters photographer said.
Yet ISIS isn’t Anonymous’ only recent target – the informal hacker collective has also declared war on Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump in the wake of his recent comments about Muslims in the U.S. Trump’s name was still intact on another part of the property which was being guarded by security.
“He insulted 1.8 billion Muslims worldwide, and he has business in the Arab world”, said Mr Khalaf Al Habtoor, a Middle Eastern billionaire.
Trump’s outrageous demand has been roundly condemned by almost all presidential candidates, both Republican and Democrat, as well as the White House and worldwide human rights organisations. Lifestyle is a subsidiary of Landmark Group. But I didn’t want to put him under pressure, No. 1.
