Trump fields questions from the audience

Who the fuck are you, his fucking Gay boyfriend?

Two things.....1) Yes, i am a born and raised Chicagoen and currently live downtown. 2) Yes, Trump IS an arrogant asshole i agree. But you cannot deny his genious as a business man and real estate developer. The Trump Tower Chicago is a beautiful building in my opinion and is a fantastic addition to our gorgeous skyline. The suntimes building was ugly as hell and was NEVER recognized for its architecture because it was a VERY dull and boring looking building.

ok fine, if you're a native chicagoan then i immediately will switch to rationale mode. i liked the sun times building, maybe that's just my personal perference. we'll agree to disagree on that.

personally, over the past few years i have been very disappointed to see certain "old chicago" landmarks/locations go away. maxwell street, marshall fields, suntimes building etc. however, i do realize that to keep chicago an attractive place for people to come and settle down, you have to keep yourself open to change/development (trump building, calatrava 'spire' etc...).

i think more attention should also be placed on what gives chicago character in the first place (music, neighborhoods etc.) and not tear down very historic streets like maxwell street. the trump building and trump (who is a jagg-bag; did i mention that?) symbolizes that change to me at times and it is annoying. but yes, i think it is overall good for the city economically.
