Note that in recent years he sold the name to independent hotel owners

I think the franchise to use Trump's name is limited and must be
renewed.

While you may be right, the franchisees made it clear that it was
THEIR CHOICE (e.g. not Trump's) to remove the name.

Wouldn't both parties to a contract have to agree to terminate the
contract early?

I'm so tired of the idiots who bought condos in Trump Tower here in
Chicago who every so often demand that his name be removed. Because of
the bend in the main channel of the Chicago River (it's on the north
bank over a former railroad, replacing the low-rise Sun-Times/Daily News
building), the Trump name is well visible from the "L" and traffic on
Lake Shore Drive and various local streets, obviously deliberate.

That does betray a reading disability - surely they themselves knew
when they bought their units. Presumably they agreed to pay a premium
for it.

Yes, they certainly did.
