Residents of downtown Chicago discovered something unique at Trump Tower on Sunday night when images were projected onto the skyscraper on the eve of the Democratic National Convention.
However, these images conveyed a very different message than the one the former president spread during the election campaign.
Instead, “Trump-Vance: Out For Themselves” as well as “Trump-Vance: ‘Weird as Hell’”, “Harris-Walz: Fighting for You” and “Project 2025 HQ” shone.
The DNC confirmed in a statement to the Daily Beast that it was responsible for the brazen move. Abhi Rahman, deputy communications director for the Democratic National Committee, also confirmed the reporting by Rolling Stone that the group booked a room across from the Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago and projected the messages onto the 92-story building using a high-powered projector.
“He is a fraud and nothing we said was true!” Rahman said.
As of press time, a Trump spokesman did not respond to a request for comment.
“Tonight, everyone is seeing a preview of the contrast that will take center stage this week during the Democratic National Convention,” Rahman said in a statement. “Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz have proven they are committed to working families, and now they are stepping up to lead our country to a better future.”
The statement continued: “Donald Trump and JD Vance are pursuing their backwards ‘Project 2025’ agenda that would undermine working families and strip away their freedoms. This week, the entire country will see what it looks like to unite behind hope and a clear vision for a better future as Democrats rally behind Vice President Harris and Governor Walz. While Donald Trump and JD Vance look out for their own gain, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are fighting for you.”
Rahman also posted images of the projection on X, claiming: “While @TheDemocrats celebrate joyfully in Chicago, residents of Chi-town see a special message projected onto Trump Tower.”
Trump is expected to hold daily briefings from the building during the convention.
Despite hours of ranting on Sunday evening on his social media platform Truth Social, he has not yet commented on the forecasts.
