TWO cafes in Ukraine named after Donald Trump have ripped down their signs in fury at the US President.
The owner of Trump Coffee Bar and Trump Pizza Station, a mile apart from each other in central Kyiv, ordered the name be scratched off soon after the White House denied the country arms and intelligence.

Staff refused to comment, but will announce a new name later this month.
Online, their brand has changed to Frank.
Customer Yevhen, 38, said: “This is a great local place. It isn’t political.
“But it’s not a good time to be called Trump in Ukraine.”
He said Trump was “singing Putin’s tune.”
The IT manager added: “Everyone wants peace here. We are tired of war, we want it to end.
“But we also understand that what Trump is proposing, what Trump is doing, will mean a victory for Russia and defeat for Ukraine.
“We want Ukraine to survive.”
The pizzeria still offers a “Trumpino” option with ham, mushrooms and artichokes.
Trump sparked anger last week by condoning Putin’s bloodbath airstrikes as “what anybody else would do”.
