Someone renamed NYC's Trump Tower 'Dump Tower' on Google Maps
Some comedic genius has quietly renamed Donald Trump's glitzy Manhattan building "Dump Tower."
If you Google "Trump Tower," you'll see a pin labelled "Dump Tower" on Fifth Avenue. Don't expect it to stay that way for long, though.

Some people online think it was a Google employee who changed the name, although that remains to be confirmed.

Changing a landmark name appears to be a manual process that needs authorisation from an employee.
According to Google's instructions, changes to the map database are reviewed by hand, so theoretically, someone would have had to deliberately hit "confirm" on Dump Tower.
Trump supporters are not impressed.
To the @google employee who renamed #TrumpTower to #DumpTower , update your resume.

Some others seem to be able to find the humour in it though.
No matter who is responsible for this, we need to come together as a country and offer her or him free drinks for life. #dumptower pic.twitter.com/o9e7lKJvnG

The president-elect lives in a three-storey penthouse apartment on the 58th floor, and works on the 26th floor.
His private elevator is also covered in 24-karat gold.
It was a great honour to spend time with @realDonaldTrump. He was relaxed and full of good ideas. I'm confident he will be a good President. pic.twitter.com/kx8cGRHYPQ
