President Donald Trump is lashing out at his own supporters as he tries to clamp down on criticism over his administration’s handling of much-hyped records in the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking investigation, which Trump now calls a “Hoax.”
“Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this “bull——,” hook, line, and sinker,” Trump wrote Wednesday on his Truth Social site, using an expletive in his post. “They haven’t learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years.”
“Let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work, don’t even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don’t want their support anymore! Thank you for your attention to this matter,” he went on.
Back when Trump put up his tower, Jackie Kennedy Onassis was famously fighting to preserve New York landmarks like Grand Central Station. Trump’s own architect told him to leave the façade of the building alone, but Trump overruled him. Trump blew the perfect opportunity to get in good with elites because he was too greedy and arrogant.

His buildings are just so ugly too, fr. You gotta try hard to be that ugly.
I was living in New York when the Tower first went up. When I was in the area I decided to stroll in and see what the controversy was about. At street level it’s just black glass. Inside it’s all gold with a waterfall. I thought it looked like a big golden toilet.
Built like shit too
Looking at the photographs, I’m not all that impressed by the building it replaced that people are complaining about not having the elements from preserved. It’s got some Art Deco elements, but we’re not talking the Chrysler Building here.
EDIT: Here’s a image of one of the two bas-relief sculptures, a much closer shot than the photograph in the article:
The Chicago building is beautiful, if it didn’t have his fucking name in giant print it would be really cool looking.
It has contextualism with offsets the height of nearby buildings
I think we have different taste in buildings. It’s boring at best and kind of looks like it’s giving you the middle finger from certain angles. https://www.architecture.org/online-resources/buildings-of-chicago/trump-tower
Chicago has some gorgeous architecture and they won’t let you do anything to their skyline to fuck it up. They are serious about it, so the context would have been forced on him. He doesn’t get credit for that. Also, his architecture firm probably wouldn’t let him fuck that up either. Again, Chicago and SOM, they’re a proud, distinguished firm.
