Already facing a financial backlash over his call to temporarily ban Muslims from the United States, Donald Trump is now being condemned by his own business partners.

The developers of Trump Towers in Istanbul announced late Thursday that they are exploring their legal options to possibly sever ties with the business mogul and Republican presidential front-runner. A representative of Aydin Dogan, a Turkish billionaire who pays to use the Trump name on his soaring residential and commercial complex in Istanbul, said the company condemned Trump's "discriminatory remarks," according to Reuters.

"Such statements bear no value and are products of a mind that does not understand Islam, a peace religion, at all," said Bulent Kural, the manager of the complex's shopping mall, said in a statement. "Our reaction has been directly expressed to the Trump family. We are reviewing the legal dimension of our relation with Trump brand."


A view of Trump Towers in Istanbul, Turkey, on Dec. 11, 2015. The general manager of the complex says the company is assessing its partnership with Donald Trump following his calls to ban Muslims from entering the United States. 
Turkey is a majority Muslim nation.

The announcement was the latest financial blow to Trump following a statement he released Monday. Trump had called for increased screening of foreigners following terrorist attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, Calif., but went further than any other presidential candidate.

"Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on," the statement read.

The billionaire was bashed by Republicans and Democrats in the U.S., leaders of Muslim and non-Muslim countries and regular people around the world. Now all that backlash is starting to affect his wallet.
