Donaald is vulgar

In Defacing the Skyline, a Heartless Act in the Heart of Chicago Lawrence Downes whines about tearing down the Chicago Sun-Times building; he's mostly opposed to what Trump plans to put up in its stead:
I hate his building. It may be sleek and shiny, but it's also a soaring monstrosity, a vertical S.U.V., a McMansion in the sky.

Unlike the building it replaces, it has nothing to offer the city but its looks. If you judge a building's worth by what goes on inside, by what valuable things it produces, then even the most fabulous Trump property has nothing on the old Sun-Times barge.
He admits the Chicago Sun-Times building is ugly, but that was good because of what went on inside it. (Huh? So he knows what's going to go on in Trump's building?) Rachelle Bowden agrees about the ugliness of the Chicago Sun-Times building, of which she has pictures. I can't say I find it particularly attractive, but at the same time it has that 60's vibe going for it. She also links to a pic of Trump's planned tower. So who cares? It's just a different shaped glass box. In any case, I find Trump's persona awfully vulgar.
