On 21 February 2016, the above-reproduced Facebook photo of Chicago's Trump Tower was shared with the following comment: The display apparently caught neither the attention of social media at large (which would have produced a number of shots from other angles) nor the news media, despite its proximity to Trump's win in South Carolina. That alone made the claim dubious, but a reverse image search located a few images identical to the NO photo, which quickly led to an earlier, unaltered version of the photograph: The angle and pattern of lit windows in the tower and surrounding buildings are identical in both photos (except for the NO in the second photo): While the NO is missing from the first photo, there's an identical pattern of lights on both Trump Tower Chicago and adjacent buildings. That suggests a political protest courtesy of Photoshop, not disgruntled residents of the building.
