Trump Is Right About The Twin Towers

Donald Trump recently sounded off about the design of the new World Trade Center in NYC. I'm glad someone with clout is speaking out about this.

Whatever goes there, it needs to be twins. Twin structures resonate deeply with the human psyche.

The original Twin Towers were like two companion giants standing tall over the city, like two masts on a gigantic ship of commerce.

Some people didn't like the rectangular design, but to me, it was like two enormous, perfect crystals, a visionary, pure design.

The proposed replacement, a single tower with a skeleton at the top, just doesn't cut it. It looks timid and uncertain.

I don't think a new Twin Towers needs to look exactly like the original, but it was a good design, and the new design should echo the spirit of it. It isn't just an office complex, it's a symbol of who we are as Americans. We don't want to make it into a monumental mistake.
