Donald Trump copied one of my house's architectural plans?

So I had this house designed specially for me upon landing my first major account (I'm an investment banker). All in all it took about 2.5 years to build, and I personally oversaw the architectural planning in order to ensure that the house was built to high standards of engineering and aesthetic design.

Here is a picture of my house:



Notice the semi-circular, columnated facade and the position of the Italianate tower. Also notice the walled stairs which I put at the west end of my pool

Now I happened upon an article which described one of Trump's houses, and it had a small picture of it.


To me, this is more than a coincidence. Either they have taken a picture of my house and are claiming it is his, or he has copied my plans without my permission. I'm flattered either way, but it is still all rather odd.

Yes, they took a pic of your house.

I don't get it. It's obviously the same house photographed from different angles.

Even the two palm trees on the left are the same. He ripped you off. However, if you notice, Teh Donald lives is a slightly cloudier location, your sky is clear blue. So, you have the better deal.
