Hours after Twin Towers fell, Trump bragged his building was now the ‘tallest’ in lower Manhattan

[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

Buried in a Politico story about Trump and Clinton is this nugget.

Only parenthetically in the middle of the 10-minute conversation did Trump turn to a favorite topic-size. "40 Wall Street," he said, referring to his 71-story building blocks away from the now-collapsed twin towers, "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."

[Alan] Marcus chalked up the remark to "Donald being Donald. ... He is the brand manager of Trump, and he is going to tout that brand, and he does it reflexively," he said. "Even on that day."

UPDATE: Here is an audio recording of Trump’s spectacularly tone deaf remarks from the day of the attacks.

it won't matter...there could be never-before-seen footage of him taking a piss on a fireman's corpse moments after the buildings' collapsed and it wouldn't matter @ all to his supporters

 

[Dr. Truth]

Trump Could burn the flag while holding a voodoo doll of the chief of NYPD. His racist fans don't give a fuck. If his support doesn't drop after his idiotic town halls and all that nothing matters.

Trump could have took a dump from his helicopter on top of the towers as they fell and it wouldn't matter.

His followers would say, 'That fireman was in flames. Donald put out the fire & saved his life, from what I heard..."

His followers would say, "That NYPD police chief was appointed by Mayor Dinkins. It was the only way he could be removed from his post."

There is nothing, absolutely nothing Trump can say now or have said in the past that will negatively affect his candidacy. That orange CAC has said and done more than enough stuff that should have disqualified him in the mind of the free world, yet the polls are close.

The takeaway is that white men hate People of Color the most. After them, they hate women. If you aren't a POC or a woman, they will forgive you and your sins/foibles.

His followers would say, "Did you smell that area after the towers fell? Trump knew what the smell would be like and he had the vision to do something about it early on. His do-do smells like roses, from what I heard on Hannity's radio show..."
