After attacking American cultural institutions HamiltonΒ and Saturday Night Live last week, will Donald Trump take aim at a tech giant next? Multiple outlets reported that someone changed the name of Trump’s midtown Manhattan fortress from Trump Tower to β€œDump Tower” on Google Maps Saturday, which could draw the ire of the notoriously thin-skinned President-elect.Β 

The 58-story monolith was the official headquarters for Trump throughout his campaign, and has remained his home base now that he’s the future POTUS. His decision to camp out in the heart of Midtown Manhattan has turned into a logistical nightmare for New Yorkers, the city’s law enforcement, and the Secret Service.

In fact, this cyber-prank may have been someone’s not-so-subtle way of letting Trump know that he’s no longer welcome in The Big Apple, especially not if he’s going to cost taxpayers a reported $1 million a day just to protect him and his family.Β 

Trump and his hasty Twitter fingers have yet to respond to the troll, and it’s looking more and more likely that he’s going to let this one slide. Google confirmed the name change according to the Associated Press, but added that it’s since been changed back to Trump Tower.Β 

However, the change didn’t go unnoticed on social media, with some users actually giving props to Google for the apparent slight.

Trump supporters meanwhile, were quick to come to the defense of their commander in chief.Β 

Welcome to America in 2016, ladies and gentlemen.
