Summary

Trump and Zelenskyy’s confrontational Oval Office meeting advanced “mob boss foreign policy” serving Russian interests.

Trump and Vance bullied Zelenskyy when he refused their “extortionate” minerals deal or to thank them despite Trump’s stated intent to reduce support for Ukraine.

Zelenskyy effectively countered their claims by noting Russia’s 2014 invasion and correcting historical inaccuracies, which angered the Americans.

This represents the first openly “anti-US, anti-Western, anti-democracy foreign policy in American history.” Russians embraced it, and Putin ally and former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev celebrated the exchange.

That was the most beautiful building? I hate Trump but it’s so plain. I was expecting something actually cool looking.

No one said Trump Tower is better, only that the original building should, by basically any metric, be considered “among the most beautiful in New York”.

✨ Reading comprehension ✨

Never said Trump Tower was better I just said that other building wasn’t beautiful.

Maybe it looked better in person and the photos don’t do it justice. That said, the front entrance is gorgeous. I think the second link outlines its details better. I’m a fan of art deco.

I didn’t see the entrance. Yeah that’s a big loss for sure. Come check out Detroit, all our old buildings are Deco.

I live near Detroit, The Guardian Building especially the interior. I did a move job there for Wayne County. Beautiful building. One Detroit Center and The Fisher Theater too. The Renaissance Center can get pushed into the river though.

Wow, they replaced boring with tacky. Yea it was a downgrade but c’mon, that thing’s a plain block of concrete with a couple of carvings so high up that no one can even really see them. I was expecting it too at least look like the Flat Iron building or something(which isn’t wild, but at least it has texture).

Definitely a Brutalist structure. A building designed by an architect like Paul Rudolph would have done that style justice

I even gave you an example of where my preference was leaning and sure as shit wasn’t that. You’re either too stupid to communicate properly or one of those broken people who think trolling is fun and frankly I don’t have time for either.
