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.
@realDonaldTrump @chicagotribune You thought wrong, Donald. I was privileged in 2012-13 to be on a Nieman journalism fellowship at Harvard.

Before I bought the site, the Sun Times had the biggest, ugliest sign Chicago has ever seen. Mine is magnificent and popular.

@realDonaldTrump @chicagotribune Wrong. The Sun-Times sign is mentioned in today's story. That sign doesn't excuse your ugly,unpopular sign.

Tribune website poll: 76 % don't like Trump sign. That's a landslide.
