Follow-up article in Esquire about dumpy drumpf tower-- it has improved

Five days ago, SPY published a punch list for Trump Tower, detailing its less than "the best" conditions. Well, guess what? Advocacy journalism works. We returned and discovered that the organization of a certain Presidential candidate who hates the media was actually paying attention.

The garbage and ladder have been removed from the 5th Floor Public Garden and the tipped-over pile of chairs have been set right. Score one for Trump. Unfortunately, the clean-up revealed what the garbage was covering: four missing paver tiles and probable water damage. Net gain: -2.

The Trump pantry door—which had been left open, exposing faux-stainless-steel appliances and boxes on the floor—is now closed. We watched several workers go in and out, assiduously shutting the door behind them each time. Memo received.

Net gain: Unclear. Maybe inside that door stands a gleaming new real stainless-steel refrigerator sitting next to a perfectly-aligned tower of sealed boxes. Or it's the same mess behind that closed door.
