Trump to announce plans to rebuild the Twin Towers.
 

:thumbsup

May 17, 2005 -- ALBANY ? Donald Trump, escalating his war against the "empty skeleton" Freedom Tower, will offer his own design for a rebuilt 111-story "World Trade Center" at Ground Zero at a press conference tomorrow.
"We have a beautiful model that has been built, a very big model," Trump told The Post yesterday.

"We took the original World Trade Center design, brought it into the modern age, made it more beautiful than ever before, made it one story taller, made it higher lined, and took out the architectural weaknesses that were there.

"We also strengthened the building internally so that what happened on 9/11 could never happen again," Trump added.

A better idea, IMO.

The Donald Knows

"Trump's Twin Towers" TTT ... Heh. Maybe he'll name the buildings Trump 1 and Trump 2.. though he could come up with better suffix name than numbers. :1orglaugh

BUT, that would be a huge contribution.. to some degree.. though it's all just to make his name bigger.. smart business of course, I'm sure he honestly cares though. :thumbsup

Matt

wow thats huge

Stop staring at my package.

Good for him, its a smart business move and helps the city

sounds like a plan to me and he has the power and money to make it happen

Good for him , even if he doesnt get his way, look at all the free publicity he just got :1orglaugh

It is a great idea and how it should have been handled in the first place. The only thing is, it will be a hard place to lease... Trump even said that himself. Leasing top floor space (floor 70) and above in NY is next to impossbile now Given the images of those poor folks jumping to their death rather then being burned alive its a wonder they can lease anything, anywhere anymore.

However... nothing says a bigger "Fuck You" to the terrorist then building the World Trade Center bigger and better. By building that empty tower Im sure the terrorist feel they won. The old towers represented a HUGE profit center for the US as well as thousands of jobs..... thousands! An empty tower is just a reminder of what we let happen to us in my opinion.

let trump do it.....he's mr. ny!

Sadistic as it may seem, I personally would prefer to jump out of a 70 story window, rather than have x amount of floors above, crush me to death.

oh no.....another Trump building.....DOH!

the plans sound good though, hopefully it all goes well!

I like this project better (from what I've read)...

I like the idea of rebuilding it in its origional state better. The freedom tower Is just ugly and kinda tacky... why do we need a garden at the top floor? how is that showing that we are going to stand up and rebuild what we once had?

Now that is an idea I like. Donald is the man. They have to at least take his ideas into consideration,

Trump would do a great job, hes a perfectionist when it comes to constructing buildings :thumbsup

Trump has become a master of marketing himself.
