A stone wall shows the absence of Donald Trump's name at Akoya, the Dubai golf complex being built by DAMAC Properties. Today's news is that Trump's name reportedly been restored to the wall, writes  Brentley Romine.



Well, that didn't last very long.
Two days after Donald Trump's image and name were removed from parts of a Dubai golf course and housing development, gold letters spelling out "Trump International Golf Club" were returned to a stone wall at the entrance of the $6 million golf complex, according to a Reuters report
The site's developer, DAMAC Properties, initially stood by its business agreement with the Trump Organization after the billionaire and Republican presidential candidate made comments calling for a ban on Muslim immigrants to the United States. 
 Then on Thursday, signage of Trump's likeness and name were removed from parts of the property.
"We would like to stress that our agreement is with the Trump Organization as one of the premium golf-course operators in the world and as such we would not comment further on Mr. Trump's personal or political agenda, nor comment on the internal American political-debate scene,” Niall McLoughlin, senior vice president of DAMAC Properties, told CNN
Trump owns or operates 17 golf courses in the U.S. and three foreign countries, including annual US PGA Tour stop Trump National Doral, which could lose its event starting in 2017, and Open venue Trump Turnberry in Ayrshire, which reportedly will be removed from the Open rota by the R and A, who have yet to confirm this.
