Trump In 2005: Freedom Tower is “disgusting”, “horrible”, “terrible design.”

I'd rather have nothing than what they're building, Chris. It's a terrible design. It was designed by an egghead architect who really doesn't have a lot of experience of designing something like this. And it's just a terrible design.

It's wrong angles. I mean, the worst of all, it's a skeletal building. And you know, if you look at it, what is it really? It's a 60-story building with a skeleton on top of it because you've got 40 or 50 stories with nothing in between.

And it's a disgusting design that we're going to have to live with for many, many years in New York, and actually in the world, because New York City is so international. And it doesn't represent what we want to have represented.

I’d have been good with that.

Trump made local news when he wanted to rebuild the Twin Towers, but taller. I supported his plan, but the people who mattered, didn’t.

I joked with my friends stating we should name one tower “F” and the other tower “U”

I can see it everyday. Symbolism over substance as Rush says.
The entire transportation complex is a waste of money.
But the memorial is perfect.

Concerning other issues, Ted Cruz voted for TPA, the Corker bill, called for a 500% increase in H1-B visas, called for increase in immigration, called for legalization of illegals, rejected Trump’s call for a ban on Muslim (terrorist) immigration, is not a natural born citizen, refuses to release any U.S. citizenship verification documents, busily trying to steal Trump’s delegates while holding the Bible high.

I personally don’t care for the building’s design, either.

I actually agree with his assessment. I think there were better designs.

Trump's right on this one. It's made of a Fugly that goes to the bone.

Nothing says "Now Under New Ownership" better that the One World Trade Center.

What’s your point? You’re an absolute complete and total loser. Spending all day pouting through anything and everything Trump says. Fact is, the design on the WTC is horrible walk by it everyday. Worst is the fact that the tower’s spire looks exactly like a Muslim minaret. So yeah, Trump is right again. He wasn’t condemning the site, just saying the building design is terrible, which it is. I’m getting really tired of you and your merry band of idiots who post anti Trump stuff all day long. Get a life.

Yes. If you think this won’t be used in the general election...I’m wondering if the dems have a video of “as long as you`ve got a young and beautiful piece of ass!” quote.

This is just one quote that will rankle the women’s vote. There are a bunch in that category alone.

Op research will have a blast.

Have fun!

Let’s not even discuss what Picasso was said to have suspected about Wassily Kandinsky and his frequent use of geometric shapes!

Do they have teams that pour through every word ever spoken by Trump?

Evidently.
Unfortunately everybody over 20 has said gobs of things they would rather not talk about. Specially loser so-called reporters and commentators.

Being from San Francisco, I recall the crap the Transamerica Building suffered through before it became an instantly recognized world icon

And then there's the Eifffel Tower...

And the London Gherkin.

Pathetic.
They should return to insults about dissing Rosie O'Donnell... and the Fox Bimbo. Really important stuff like that.

Apparently he isn't alone in that assessment

So what is your point again?

This was a pretty mainstream position back in 2005. I remember reading articles and seeing lots of commentary criticizing the design back then. I am not sure how this can be used as an attack, unless Political Correctness has suddenly extended to cover sacred architecture.

These ads already came out in a bunch of states Trump apparently won by large margins. Scott Adams made fun of the commercials, saying the angry, harpy looking women reading Trump quotes probably helped Trump.

The second Mrs. Lurkin’s mom had the right idea on how to rebuild the WTC. She said “Build it back just the same...but ONE story taller.”

That was my opinion, too, at the time.
And the beauty of the reconstruction was that with the benefit of the experience and hindsight, all the weaknesses of the original design, primarily evacuation from tall complex buildings could have been addressed.

I really liked the original design. Elegant simplicity.

I agree completely. Rebuild and tell the mohammendans fu.
I agreed with Trump as well, the pictures I saw of the plans were ugly.
I’m sure there are many who agree.
But it’s built so it’s water under the bridge.

Thank goodness nobody is poring over all the things I’ve said in the last 50 years that are no longer relevant or my current opinions.
