13. There are three possible explanations for this

Least likely:
The Idiot Son of an Asshole told the removal crew before they got it all off that he's written an Executive Order directing his name remain in place, and they're standing by wondering if they have to take the rest of it down or put it back up.

Possibly more likely:
They're trying to protect Trump's delicate feelings by not letting him see his name is gone.

Almost certain:
His name is down. The process of drilling into the marble to install Trump's name, and the prying necessary to remove it, has damaged the building's fascia to the point millions of dollars are going to have to be spent repairing it.
