Donald Trump Is Putting His Name In Enormous Letters On The Side Of Trump Hotel & Tower, Says It's Going To Be Chicago's Version Of The Hollywood Sign

(Source) When I informed Donald Trump on Thursday that I would not be writing a rave review of the ginormous sign workers are installing on his Chicago skyscraper, he had a ready reply. “As time passes, it’ll be like the Hollywood sign,” he said, referring to the beloved symbol of the U.S. movie industry. In fact, Trump added, the skeptics who at first expressed revulsion at the idea of the 20-foot-6-inch-high stainless steel letters spelling “TRUMP” are coming around.

“People were saying, ‘Don’t put a sign up,'” Trump said. “Now, they saying, ‘We love the sign.'” My emails suggest that opinion is not universally shared. In an unsolicited note, the chief designer of Chicago’s Trump International Hotel & Tower, architect Adrian Smith, wrote: “Just for the record, I had nothing to do with this sign!” Reader Ted Naron called the sign “graffiti.” He beseeched me to “use your pulpit to stop the vandalism of our cityscape currently in progress.”

First of all, Donald Trump is a total cocksucker. The Hollywood sign statement is such a hardo thing to say. Oh yeah let me put my name on this building, don’t worry in like 20 years people are going to see it in the same way as the most iconic sign in the history of America. Fuck out of here Trump. It’s tacky and stupid, everyone thinks that except you. No one wants to see your name on the side of the building when they’re in the loop or on the River. But, with all of that said, and as stupid as this sign looks, at the end of the day there’s a small part of me that still kind of respects Donald Trump giving a giant fuck you to basically everyone in the world. Pissing off people over a sign, having people write emails and call it graffiti and cry to the paper and their Alderman. That’s funny to me. Because yeah Trump is a dick but the only people worse than him are people that get bent out of shape and have their life ruined by a fucking sign.
