Default Donald Trump wants to rebuild the World Trade Center

Quote:
http://www.nypost.com/news/regionalnews/46663.htm

Donald Trump, escalating his war against the "empty skeleton" Freedom Tower, will offer his own design for a rebuilt 111-story "World Trade Center" at Ground Zero at a press conference tomorrow.

...

"We took the original World Trade Center design, brought it into the modern age, made it more beautiful than ever before, made it one story taller, made it higher lined, and took out the architectural weaknesses that were there.

"We also strengthened the building internally so that what happened on 9/11 could never happen again," Trump added.

Heh heh, here's my favorite comment:

Quote:
"The design for the Freedom Tower is an egghead design, designed by an egghead, which has no practical application and which, frankly, didn't look very good," Trump said at the time.

"To replace the World Trade Center with a skeleton of all things is the worst thing in the world, it's replacing it with an inferior product."
I couldnt have said it better myself.

Default Trump

I wonder if his design includes gold-silvered windows and the Trump logo emblazoned vertically on all sides of the towers, in letters 100 feet tall?

And a casino in that extra story on the top....

I do agree that the WTC redesign suffers from a bit too much solemnity. But Trump?

I sure hope so. What better revenge than to replace a destroyed capitalist icon with an even more obnoxious capitalist icon. I want to rub their noses in their failure.

Default I agree with the concept

But I think it might be hard to rent the upper floors.

I don't like the skeleton part either. But, I do like the spire (supposedly meant to evoke the arm of the Statue of Liberty). To me, the spire is a giant finger aimed at the terrorists of the world.

And thats not a comb-over. It's a toupee.

Trump is really cool, but he has the most god-awful ugly family I have ever seen in my life. Except his wives of course.

Here is what I would like to see done: build the exact same buildings.

We don't need "freedom" towers; we need our skyline fixed.
