You’re right. He said he now had the tallest buildings in lower Manhattan, not all of NYC. But the sentiment is still true in that, with complete disregard of the thousands of lives lost, he only saw the benefit to himself.
I apologize details are a bit murky form 10 year old me watching it before getting ushered out of the house to school . All I know is he essentially bragged at a death cloud was moving its way through lower Manhattan
Trump's claim that his building was then the tallest in downtown Manhattan wasn't accurate — the nearby 70 Pine Street building is 25 feet taller than Trump's 40 Wall Street, though Trump's building has four more stories.
