Chicago’s Trump Tower was lit up on Sunday with some messages that likely irked its owner.

The missives projected onto Donald Trump’s skyscraper hotel include “Trump-Vance ‘weird as hell,’” “Harris Walz fighting for you” and “Project 2025 HQ,” in a reference to the extreme conservative policy blueprint for a second Trump administration that the Republican nominee has been seeking to distance himself from.

The Democratic National Committee confirmed to several media organizations it was responsible for the stunt. The Democratic National Convention kicks off in Chicago on Monday.

Party operatives booked a room across the street from the Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago to display the slogans with a high-powered projector, Rolling Stone reported.

“Tonight, everyone is seeing a preview of the contrast that will take center stage this week throughout the Democratic National Convention. Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz have proven records of delivering for working families, and now, they’re running to lead our country into a brighter future,” DNC spokesperson Abhi Rahman said in a statement.
