DNC taunts Trump by projecting 'Project 2025 HQ' on his Chicago hotel
Democrats trolled Trump Hotel and Tower Chicago Sunday night by projecting taunting messages onto the skyscraper ahead of their national convention.
Messages were reflected on the side of former President Donald Trump's eponymous tower at 401 N. Wabash Ave. in downtown Chicago, social media posts show.
““Trump-Vance: ‘Weird as Hell," one message reads. Another dubs the tower “Project 2025 HQ.”

The Democratic National Committee confirmed to the Daily Beast late Sunday night that it was responsible for the cheeky campaign tactic and had booked a hotel room across the street to target Trump's tower with a high-powered projector.
A Trump spokesperson did not respond to the publication's request for comment.

"Weird" is of course the word Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) used to describe MAGA Republicans in a viral video that sent him into the national arena and helped him secure his place on Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign ticket.
Project 2025 is the controversial policy agenda from powerful conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation from which Trump has tried to distance himself amid growing concern about the policies found within it.
His efforts have been foiled by reporting that about 140 of its contributors have worked with him and that his running mate Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) wrote the foreward for Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts' yet-to-be-released book.
The projected taunts spurred much laughter on social media after video was shared by reporters such as NBC's Alex Tabet.
"That is genius," replied Christopher Deutsch, the founder of a venture capital firm in Chicago.
