Lovely Rio...will get a bit uglier...when billionaire USA developer Donald Trump gets his way.
The son of TV personality/developer/ruthless capitalist and super-egoist Trump announced plans for a massive and gaudy $2.6 billion Trump towers project...in Rio's rundown port/ferry area.
2 images of The Donald's disembodied head floated over his son's presentation...like some mysterious and malevolent Being...or like the Wizard...from the movie 'The Wizard of Oz.'

It is supported by Rio's recently re-elected Mayor Eduardo Paes.
Construction on the first tower could begin by late next year.
Trump recently completed a 277 meter hotel in Toronto, Canada...just short of that city's tallest structure...the 72-story First Canadian Place.
