Shortly after the construction of the twin-towered Time Warner Center in Manhattan (home to twenty million dollar condos featuring, its owners claimed, the "most commanding view of any residences overlooking Central Park"), Donald Trump had banners hung from his own World Tower, a neighboring building to the north. Trump`s message? "Your views aren`t so great, are they? We have the real Central Park views and address! Best Wishes, The Donald."
