Architects have proposed a way to block the 20-foot tall Trump sign affixed to the president-elect’s Chicago skyscraper.
They are suggesting the use of four giant, floating golden pigs.
The solution to freeing Chicago from what has, since its installation, been considered by some a blight on the otherwise breathtaking riverfront vista was devised by New World Design Ltd.
Their design is not only functional, but it is also imbued with many layers of commentary on Trump and his election to the high office.
The number of pigs is, according to the firm, representative of “each of the four years the world will need to endure the Trump presidency,” while their color serves as a statement on the, “gaudy style of Mr. Trump’s own gold ensconced penthouse interior he has labeled ‘comfortable modernism.'”
Also referenced is the belief once held by many – that Trump will become the U.S. president "when pigs fly," reports the Huffington Post.
