I had cousins who lived in a suburb of Chicago for a year or two when we were kids and I got to visit them one summer on a road trip with my grandparents. I was even there for Independence Day. We went into the city for the fireworks; it was the best time!
Aside from the 4th of July, though, we didn’t go into Chicago for any sightseeing or other touristy activities (well, we went to a giant mall; that’s it). Looking back, I’m horrified that my grandparents didn’t make sure that my brother and I got a good dose of Chicago’s history and culture. I guess maybe they didn’t feel confident enough to drive us in to the city themselves, and my aunt and uncle were too busy working to take us.
Anyway, all that to say...your pictures of Chicago are spectacular! I kind of feel like I’ve finally had a little visit there now. It’s not just the pictures; it’s the SPECIFIC ones that you selected. They enhance your article very well, especially for visual people such as myself. The captions are perfect, too: informative and, sometimes, funny. Weaponized tweets, was it? A cool MAGA drink? Excellent!
Thank you for doing all of that research and presenting it to us, in addition to posting the colorful photos. I’ve never stayed in one of Trump’s properties and honestly had never given a thought to the land acquisition and construction process. I enjoyed reading the information you gave here. I feel like I got a look not just at Chicago, but at “Trump’s Chicago.”
Thanks again, poconopundit! I hope you enjoy working on your projects as much as we enjoy reading them. You really are kind to share. :)
If you check the web, it's hard to find many words of praise for this great building and the effort it took to build it. But I have high hopes that Google Images will catalog one or two of these images, and so Trump supporters will find a link to the story this way.
And maybe someday, someone in the Trump Organization will send a link to the big man himself so he can have a chuckle. On behalf of me and all the other small-time Deplorables out there, I thank him for all his sacrifices to restore America's greatness.
