Best (worst) ones...

Twin Towers but just gold
Big stack of three presents wrapped in USA flag
Building everywhere except the original footprint of the two tower
Colourful tentacles of peace that don't seem to have any usable space in them
The terrible one that spells 911 like a doodle in school notebook

Only one they should have done:

Twin Towers made of light projected out of a park

Wild that trump didn't suggest the pissgold towers. Of all of them the light towers are among the coolest, but the light pollution would make me sad - Incredible that they found a way to make the NYC night sky worse

Yeah. The light pollution would be bad, but I just kind of assumed Manhattan was probably a lost cause when it comes to that.

Oh yeah for sure, I was more thinking that two large beacons would probably manage to do even more damage to wildlife somehow

Is there even any wildlife in Manhatten at this point?

Pretty sure all that's left is rats and pigeons.

I was thinking of things like migrating birds, ocean life and bugs. Lights can mess them up and I'm thinking that adding two large beacons would probably make it worse. It's already bad, but I'd imagine two massive beacons make the light pollution cover a larger area or intensify the current damage. I don't know though
