Just a black monolith that fades into the background for being so architecturally unremarkable.

And the inside is the epitome of 1980s Cheese.

BTW, exactly why does Trump World Tower, which is 47 stories, have openable windows hinged at the top? (I've seen the ugly-ass building personally. It has openable windows.)

Is there any evidence that Trump or one of his companies owns the whole building?
