Every year, New York City’s Department of Transportation collects tens of millions of dollars from property owners in return for permission to place street furniture on, over or under city sidewalks. This includes, but is not limited to, signs, filigreed lampposts, benches, bollards, planters, permanent trash receptacles, delivery ramps, underground vaults and just about anything else imaginable, including ornamental clocks.
Set smack on the sidewalk at 725 Fifth Avenue is just such a clock: 16 feet tall and made of aluminum with gold and black accents, it has four faces. Each bears the surname of its owner, Donald J. Trump.
It was installed without permission more than a dozen years ago. No permit was applied for. No permission was granted. Belatedly, the City of New York would like to be paid for allowing the Trump Tower clock to occupy part of a public sidewalk.

Meanwhile, Stormy Daniels is laughing at the idea that the TOFF only weighs 215lbs:
On Friday, the adult film actress and director took to X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, to explain why she doesn’t believe the 77-year-old controversial politician was telling the truth when he claimed to stand at 6-foot-3 and weigh 215 pounds, according to the official paperwork from his booking at Fulton County Jail in Georgia.
The current frontrunner for the GOP presidential nomination was booked Thursday to face charges in the Georgia election interference case, when both his mugshot and measurements overshadowed most of the day’s news.
“Mmmkay! And I’m 110lbs and a virgin,” Daniels wrote on X Friday, adding a laugh-out-loud emoji.
“I’m not a scale or a doctor but I have spent some time beneath 215lb men and Tiny was not one of them,” she added.
Keep the clock, just stop one face at the exact time a guilty verdict is returned, with final settings being for the four verdicts with the longest sentences.
