1. He's the stupid one

Hell, they're all stupid.

[TheBlackAdder]

18. I built it all

2. I always wondered who was responsible for that messy skyline!

Thanks Eric, now we know.

Rumour has it that the skyline looked much better 1,000 years ago.

3. That family is delusional.

[ProfessorGAC]

6. As Old As TFG Is...

...the Empire State Building was completed 14 years before he was born.
The Chrysler Building a year earlier.
Rockefeller Center 6 years before he was born.
I can't think of many more iconic elements of the skyline, all of which were built before this dummy's daddy existed.
Man, that kid is stupid.

[badhair77]

11. Isn't it amazing that they can lie so easily.

I just don’t have it in me. I can’t even have a poker face when playing cards. They lie as naturally as they breathe.

[ProfessorGAC]

15. About Obviously Disprovable Things, Too

There are MILLIONS of people that know those 3 building were put up in the 1930s.
This isn't even a lie about esoteric stuff. It's appallingly obvious that it's wring.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

22. The Twin Towers were built in the 70s.

[ProfessorGAC]

24. Of Course

I did not expect my list to be taken as exhaustive, but those iconic buildings i mentioned are older than TFG, which was my point. They were literally impossible to have been influenced by the idiot kid's daddy.
If we want to include those towers, TFG was still selling apartments when those towers went up. He was barely out of college when construction began.
Sure, we could include WTC in the list of buildings Donnie-boy couldn't have influenced.

[PatSeg]

19. And they don't know when

to sit back and shut up! They just keep digging that hole deeper and deeper. Well, at least Ivanka has distanced herself from her father and brothers. She knows where this is all going.

[RockRaven]

4. GTFOH, Gums. TFG doesn't even build his own hamberders.

[limbicnuminousity]

5. Funny. Carter is loved for having helped house people along numerous skylines.

Strange, that.

[maxrandb]

7. That entire family suffers from delusions of adequacy

[rsdsharp]

8. The only NYC building of which I'm aware that Trump actually built

(as opposed to buying, or which bear his name as part of a licensing agreement) is the 58 story Trump Tower. Are there others?

[brush]

10. And trump tower doesn't have a sprinkler system. Cheap trump won't retro-fit it as it was...

built just before they were required for tall building. In fact, a guy died there a few years back in a fire in his unit.

[StarryNite]

9. That's hysterical.

[mike_c]

12. so much thanking!

[musette_sf]

13. Sit down, you nitwit

I was working at 40 Wall and shopping at Bonwit Teller way before you were born. Desecrating existing buildings with your cheap ass family name isn’t “building” shit.

In other news, let’s take a look at the Atlantic City skyline…

14. He didn't build fucking shit.

He bought a building, and he's an insane maniac who wants to destroy the country, aided by a hostile, vindictive "news" network. Fuck off with your victimization hyperbole, Eric.

[Emile]

16. LOL kid is a comedian 🤣.

[bucolic_frolic]

17. Yes, well that was private enterprise

[marble falls]

20. He's the only one with a degree.

[Maeve]

21. Once I built a tower to the sun

Brick and rivet and lime,
Once I built a tower now it's done
Brother, can you spare a dime?

[Hekate]

23. Hubby did a spit-take at this

[Golden Raisin]

25. The ONLY one in that awful Family who actually knew anything about

NYC Real Estate, and was financially successful in NYC Real Estate was Donald's father, Fred Trump (another horrible human being). Fred left a massive fortune, based on Real Estate, to young Donald who mismanaged and pissed most of it away. I've lived in Manhattan for 53 years. I know a little about our skyline(s) and the Trump Family most certainly did not, "Build the skyline of New York City."

[mzmolly]

26. The men & women Trump didn't pay, built the skyline

in NY.

37. ☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️

[tanyev]

27. Yeah...slapping your name in giant letters on buildings that already exist doesn't count, dimwit.

[bhikkhu]

28. Donald was a bit player, grifting on the margins of other people's work

He built next to nothing. Though it's kind of sweet how his idiot kids are still hoping to say something strong enough to get him to notice them.

[no_hypocrisy]

29. To the best of my knowledge, Trump only built one building in NYC: his own.

Every other building with his name on it is a license deal. Someone else built them.

He wanted to build/develop the West Side Railyards, but it never happened.

30. 1st laugh I've had all week

Thanks Eric!

[onenote]

31. There are 101 buildings taller than Trump Tower in NYC

And around a quarter of them were built before Trump Tower.

[Earth-shine]

32. Well, your grandpa built slum apartments in Brooklyn.

I remember as a teenager encountering a crazy old man who lived in those projects screaming about Trump -- Fred Trump.

[BigmanPigman]

33. Trump has 2 boobs

And they aren't his man-boobs, they are Thing #1 and Thing #2.

What pisses me off on top of this is how the media, even MSNBC, refer to his 2 morons as "his boys". That makes them seem young and naive, not 2 middle aged, major criminals.

[Runningdawg]

34. Karma, please let the Trump building in NYC become the CARROLL building!!

[madinmaryland]

35. We built this city on rock.,

Uh, No you didn’t Gums. You didn’t build jack shit.

[DinahMoeHum]

36. A belated Valentine for Eric. . .

Roses are red

Horse shit is brown

Shut the fuck up

and sit your ass down

[GenThePerservering]

38. That's a beautiful demolition, though

of an ugly ass building.
