Guy who owns his own 747 plane and is a “billionaire” constantly sealing shitty merch to help fund legal bills is okay though, GTFOH ya weirdos!

I see the beauty with his name plastered on it almost every day, I think it's okay to rock a 64k necklace when your opponent has an objectively bigger and richer portfolio

Fellow Chicagoan what up!!! The worst part is it’s objectively an amazing piece of architecture. Thousands of people worked so hard to make it and it is stunning. And unique in being the largest cement foundation building of its type. And it has his STUPID FUCKING NAME plastered on it. The thought of his name one day (hopefully soon/in my lifetime) being removed and it being a clean beautiful building is what gets me through sometimes.

Craziest part is Trump was having a meeting with the architects to have it top nearly 2000 feet during the 9/11 attacks, but by December then drop it to 78 stories or 1800 feet

In 50 years when we look back on this era with horror there’s gonna be a big debate around tearing down the Trump towers, like there was a few years ago about confederate statues.

Reminds me of the xfinity towers in Philadelphia. Made me so sad to learn who owned them
