Among the things the *resident celebrates from the Nazi past is their concern with the public taste in art and architecture.
...the beauty that is being taken out of our cities, towns and parks will be greatly missed and never able to be comparably replaced!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 17, 2017
But when it comes to preservation of historic public art himself, the *resident loves it less than the Nazis.
In 1995 he revealed his taste as a patron of art, proposing a statue of Columbus- "six feet higher than the Statue of Liberty"- in an aborted Manhattan megapoject:
Mother Jones reported last summer:
The Baltimore Sun nicknamed it “From Russia With Ugh” when some local businessman tried to plant the statue there. But Baltimore, along with New York, Columbus, Ohio, and Miami, all rejected it. It wasn’t until this month, after almost 20 years of homelessness, that the statue found a taker in Puerto Rico.His own vision of public art runs along these lines, dubbed "Trumpitechture" by architect Doug Staker:
Trump Tower New York, Curbed NY's 8th ugliest building in the city. The New York Daily News and Prestige Car Rental ranks it 4th.
-Trump Tower, Las Vegas, Architectural Digest's 24th-ugliest building in the world.
-Trump International Tower and Hotel, Time Out's 5th ugliest building in Chicago.
