Trump Tower is a 58-story skyscraper at 721–725 Fifth Avenue between 56th and 57th streets in midtown Manhattan, New York City. It is the headquarters for The Trump Organization and also where President Donald Trump’s presidential campaign headquarters was located.

Many people responded on Twitter and while the political comments were flying around, one man calls for reasoning.
Do people realize that #trumptower is primary occupied by companies whose employees have no association to Trump. My wife sells shoes and works there and some comments are disgusting.
