Of course he doesn't care, he's dead. The point is that if he were alive, people that knew him, have said that he would be appalled that something HE designed would be associated with a man like Trump. In no way was I saying that it would be within his control.

It's kind of funny because after I posted I went for some drinks with friends, and this point was brought up by someone who said basically the same thing about him being horrified.

I don't see the relevance then. I'm sure you could find a construction foreman that would be ecstatic that building X is now owned by mogul Y, but it doesn't have anything to do with anything.

Have you read this whole thread? It has to do with the reasons why certain people are protesting. Not all are on Youtube videos or even make the news. Many are protesting by promising not to cross the threshold of Trump Tower in Vancouver. Most, if not all, because of Trump being associated with the tower. Some of the people that I know, that knew the architect have added that in addition to just their dislike for Trump, they feel that the architect would also disapprove of Trump and Trump's name being on something he created.

It gives them even more validation in their decision. That's all.

Good for them, as long as they do not disrupt traffic and create inconvenience, it's all good.

It is their speculation about what a dead man would think.

If I die and Trump's name is anywhere near me, I'll crawl out of my grave.

Of course you won't be voting for him in 2020 - he'll be impeached long before that lol.. Maybe Putin will be on the ticket though!

In my dream? I try to avoid dreaming about Donald Trump and when I dream about guys he isn't the one that usually caresses them That all said, he's not mine he's yours. I do think your hunch might be a little on the optimistic side. I really don't know though. He certainly isn't the picture of stability. Love the 615 am baseless tweets though. Now Obama wire tapped his phone lol.. Gotta give him 10/10 for entertainment value. Hey if y'all can handle that 8 year ride all the power to you!

I don't care if he gets impeached because Pence is just as scary! Actually, it might be a BAD thing if he gets impeached because it will anger Trump supporters and divide the country even more.

A Canadian citizen, born and raised in Canada, was turned away from the border yesterday and told she would need an immigrant visa to enter the U.S.:
