Trump International Hotel and Tower on Nov. 8, 2013.

The architecture critic for the Chicago Tribune, Blair Kamin, has been very vocal about his distaste for the 20-foot-tall “TRUMP” letters being installed on Donald Trump’s Chicago tower.

Trump took to Twitter Thursday. He didn’t link to a particular article that spawned his tweets, but Kamin did post a piece Thursday reporting that Mayor Rahm Emanuel “thinks the sign is awful,” according to a spokesperson.
