Trump brags on 9/11/01 about now having the tallest building.
What was he thinking?
We all know by now that Donald Trump wastes no opportunity for a dick-measuring contest, and apparently that includes the tragic events of 9/11. Like, how did he even do that?
Hours after the World Trade Center towers fell on September 11, 2001, Trump called into WWOR-TV to discuss the attacks.
Here is how Trump responded to the question: “You have one of the landmark buildings down in the financial district, 40 Wall Street. Did you have any damage? What’s happening down there?”
“40 Wall Street actually was the second-tallest building in downtown Manhattan, and it was actually, before the World Trade Center, was the tallest. And then, when they built the World Trade Center, it became known as the second-tallest. And now it’s the tallest.”

Max Powerless already tried that incorrect reasoning.

Incorrect reasoning? Are you talking about Trump?

You mean someone actually tried to defend this? That's awesome.

It's weird how Fitbud and Maxie both found this obscure radio interview and post it the same day. It is almost as if they receive the same talking point...every day.

They do some dumpster diving looking for far left radicals writers to post their links.
Here is "writer" of this article. Melissa Click's daughter?

She is a far left socialist. Gotta love that Emo haircut.

Empire State and Chysler are taller than Trump Building. After 9/11 that building would have been 3rd tallest. In the interview he said 2nd tallest. This is all the left has to cling to?

Actually, Trump said downtown Manhattan, where 40 Wall Street is located. Empire State and Chrysler are midtown.

Trump is a builder in NYC. He knows to the centimeter exactly how tall each building is, and knows exactly where they are located.

Do we know this for a fact or are you using rigged numbers?

You can use Emporis, Skysraperpage, or Wiki.

In lower Manhattan post 9/11, The Trump Building would have been the tallest building. Trump's statement is accurate.

He was in fact correct. I think what people are questioning is why he would mention this during the worst attack in U.S. history.
