Trump calls Freedom Tower "Disgusting Pile of Junk"

MSNBC ^

[grizzly84]

Just a little sample of the transcript between Trump and Matthews. Thoughts? I'm not an architect, but the idea of rebuilding the towers better and stronger sounds more sensible than this new fangled design. It sounds like Trump might be using this issue as a launching point into politics, since he's essentially taking on Pataki.

[Texas Eagle]

As far as I'm concerned, Chris Matthews is a disgusting pile of junk.

[Stonedog]

If we rebuild the World Trade Center, but a story taller and stronger, then we win.

That's exactly what we should do. If it was in a red state, that is what we woulddo. But, in artsy-fartsy NYC... we get this abstract sculpture thingy.

[mbraynard]

Nah, The T is being honest. And who doesn't agree with him? Pataki is a tool.

[isthisnickcool]

Trump is right. The guy knows more about New York City real estate than anyone. Let the Donald handle the building and make it the biggest and best thing in the world.

[Fudd Fan]

I think he's looking in the mirror. What a maroon.

[wolicy_ponk]

Personally, I believe this design will work best as an adequate replacement to the towers.

[longtermmemmory]

I thought it was announce the freedom tower is off the table due to "security issues" (I think they were just embarrassed and needed an excuse)

The towers have meaning beyond architecture.

"...disgusting pile of junk." ???

Was he talking about the proposed building, or his hairdo?

[Prophet in the wilderness]

I think, you need to give some here a hint, why this design would be appropriate in defiance towards the terrorist.
Hint ? it's suppose to resemble a hand gesture.

[JasonC]

He's right, and it is a pile of junk. An unambitious, timid, ugly, decided by committee pile of junk. Considering how much is at stake in this symbolically, the whole process has been a disgrace.

[Tall_Texan]

Trumps knows about building a bunch of squares. He's not an architect. The minute you make this thing political (and it was political before the old ones even fell), you open it up to all these "commissions" who would be aghast to have two long straight boxes pointing up to the sky. Sorry, Trump. You know it's true.

[kpp_kpp]

as long as it is facing east... but i can't decide if it should be a bit to the north towards france or a bit to the south towards saudi arabia, et al... so maybe just due east to cover them all

REBUILD THE TOWERS! We don't need that Garman homo's silly design. Build the Twin Towers according to the new (stronger) proposal, and put the Department of Homeland Security and Hillary's office on the very top, to insure tenants' potential ease of mind.

Well said!!! I hope The Donald's blunt comments raise some eyebrows and call attention to the sheer crappiness of the present project before it is really begun. Build the Towers as they were -- only better. The Towers were tested to destruction. We ought to know now how to make them stronger and more fireproof. Nothing would stick in the craw of those who hate America more than seeing the Towers rise again.

It's part of that weepy grieving and healing BS that's infected us, along with all of the "candle light vigils" (Gag me now...)

Egg-zackally. A monument to pusillanimity is what I
would call it ( if I could spell it. )
