The "Donald" - self-proclaimed developer extraordinaire - has been taking swipes at the spanking-new CityCenter here in Las Vegas which is scheduled to unveil one of its sumptuous centerpieces - the Aria Hotel - amid a lot of hoopla and fanfare tonight just shy of the witching hourt.
Say it ain't so!
The complex is a stunning architectural delight literally transforming the Vegas skyline before our very eyes.
On Larry King Live! - the ever-pompous, slightly-stuffy, full-of-himself know-it-all - labelled the dazzling complex an "absolute catastrophe".
Did I tune in a little late and miss something?
Surely it was his "do" that he was referring to!
On the heels of bad-mouthing the project on CNN, Trump - known for erecting monuments to his ego - was so possessed by the green-eyed monster that he found it necessary to call up one of the local gossip mavens and expand on his acid-tongued criticisms.
In today's "Vegas Confidential" column - published in the Las Vegas Review Journal - a columnist known-locally as "Norm" quoted Trump verbatim.
"The biggest problem is it costs so much," Trump lamented (as if it was any of his business!)
"It costs billions more (!) than anticipated and it's going to be hard to recover from that."
Hogwash!
A vulgar man with taste up the wazoo - and a tendency to over-decorate - Trump has some nerve criticizing a handful of developers who have already proven their aesthetic capabilities (and fiscal responsibility) by virtue of the dazzling "greeen" gem that now rests in the "heart" of the city.
In all reality, Trump is just a migraine in a nerve center down the street, who'd be wise to shut his yap.
Vegas has been pining for a jump start - of the kind that CityCenter can deliver up right now - provided selfish mouthy a**holes like Trump don't screw it up.
The man should be strung up by the ba**s.
Unfortunately, he doesn't have any.
All mouth, and no potatoes, if you ask me!
