Construction Worker Hangs Mexican Flag at New Trump Tower

A Mexican-Canadian construction worker is receiving praise for a Facebook post he shared showing the Mexican flag hung on the new Trump Tower in Vancouver, Canada.

On April 2, Diego Saul Reyna shared a photo on his Facebook page of him sitting at the top of the Trump Tower with the Mexican flag hung up behind him.

Reyna explained that he made the choice to hang the flag because of the infamous comments Trump made about Mexican people last summer.

"From the concrete pouring, finishing, drywall, taping, wood forming and general labour, Mexicans were there, building it, doing good work, the comments Trump has made about us, did not stop us from doing the high quality work we have always done, in our home country or when we migrate to the US/Canada," he wrote.

Reyna has also spoken out about the fact that Trump criticized the very same people who he has employed several times over the years.

"I put a Mexican flag on the roof of the Trump Tower in Vancouver, just to show that he is benefiting from us and that we are working hard on his projects and that we are not all criminals," Reyna said in an interview.

Reyna isn't the only one who has spoken out about the tower. Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson urged developers to remove the name Trump from the tower because the political candidate's views don't coincide with the city's "commitment to diversity."

“Donald Trump’s hateful positions and commentary remind us all of much darker times in our world’s past — and it is incumbent on all of us to forcefully challenge hatred in all of the ways it confronts us," he said.
