Here, he discusses his love of Chicago, his family's contributions to the city and the pleasure of replacing the old Sun-Times building.

I like Donald Trump, however...WHAT IS HIS STANCE ON THE UNCONSTITUTIONAL FEDERAL RESERVE ?

[dbnska]

All that comes is vanity (Eccl. 11:8)

Surely every man at his best state is altogether vanity (Psalm 39:5)

Then I looked on all that my hands had wrought and behold all was vanity and vexation of spirit. For what profit is there? (Eccl. 2:11, 22) if he gains the whole world but loses his own soul.

Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

Who the fuck are you, his fucking Gay boyfriend?

[cliffjp]

regardless if your personally like Donald Trump or not, his building was designed by one of the best artists in the world -  Adrian Smith. Having an Adrian Smith supertall skyscraper in any city, is something to be proud of. -Cliff

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.

[rpatel42]

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...).

[rpatel42]

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.
