In video, Trump's hotel turns into rubble seconds after its destruction
Social media videos showed the moment the Trump hotel and casino was destroyed in Atlantic City. Opened it 37 years ago.
The hotel was reduced to rubble after it was destroyed using 3,000 dynamite sticks on Wednesday.
The hotel is Trump's first property in this American coastal town. It opened in 1984 and has not undergone any maintenance since its closure. While it closed its doors in 2014.
Since 2016, the two-block complex has been the property of billionaire investor Carl Icahn, who was one of Trump's main funders in Atlantic City.
In mid-June, Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small announced the demolition of the building after legal action was taken over what he saw as a danger to residents. At the time Icahn did not provide details of what will happen after the demolition.
Trump filed a lawsuit in 2014 requesting that his name be removed from the facade of the building, considering that this was harmful to Trump's name and trademark.
