The Trump Twin Towers
You know, what's Donald trump doing, injecting himself into the World Trade Center issue? As you may know, yesterday Trump unveiled a plan to rebuild the twin towers at the site, a plan which would naturally take the current plan for the "Freedom Tower" and kick it to the curb. While it doesn't seem like the Freedom Tower plan is doing all that well these days (apparently the tower is being redesigned from the original plan to make it rather more boring and unappealing), it doesn't particularly follow that what is needed now is for Trump to come along and mess things up more.
What do you think? Should they rebuild the twin towers. And if they do, should Trump be the one to do it?

I think it's the most sensible plan for rebuilding at Ground Zero that I've heard yet. Those bastards that murdered 3000 people will forever win if the skyline of Manhatten is allowed to be forever changed by their actions. I think rebuilding them as they were is the purest example of who Americans are. You may knock us down but we will be back better than before. Think about it. What better memorial can we provide to the citizens and civil servants who gave their lives than to reclaim Manhattens Skyline from the terrorists.

NO! HELL NO! Donald trump should stay as far away from the Twin Towers as he can! He cares nothing for remembering what really happened that day! The ONLY thing he cares about is himself, making himself look good! ME,ME,ME! That's ALLLLLL stupid stump cares about! I lost a freind in the Twin towers, so, I care a lot about who designs em, and why! Get the fuck away donald stump!

Everyone needs to get past the fact that Donald Trump is involved with the conception of the idea of rebuilding the Twin Towers. He is an absolutely brilliant and successful man, and I highly respect and admire him. However, he is not the only mastermind behind this new plan. I completely dispise the idea of building a "Freedom Tower", I think it looks ridiculous and would make the skyline look pathetic. Since the day of the attacks on September 11th, I have completely and whole-heartedly supported the idea of rebuilding the World Trade Center, even before any new ideas of rebuilding occurred. Please visit www.makeNYNYagain.com ,even if you do not support rebuilding the Twin Towers; all I am asking is that you take a look. If you do support the idea of reconstruction of the Twin Towers, please let your voice be heard. You can do so by visiting the website and clicking on "Send Letters of Support". God Bless America!!!

It's very complicated John... for example, would people be safe in the towers?
what could we do to make it more safe?
Will it commemorate the dead enough?
