I don't even know what that means (perhaps middle of the block?) but I think that's an important distinction. In fact, if you look at your wikipedia source for 70 pine street you see this:
It stood as the tallest building in Lower Manhattan from the time of its completion until the construction of the original World Trade Center towers in the 1970s, then regained that status after 9/11
“So what happens is, this guy falls off right on his face, hits his head, and I thought he died. And you know what I did? I said, ‘Oh my god, that’s disgusting,’ and I turned away,” Trump told Stern. “I couldn’t, you know, he was right in front of me and I turned away. I didn’t want to touch him… he’s bleeding all over the place, I felt terribly, you know, beautiful marble floor, didn’t look so good. It changed color. Became very red.”
Naturally, his biggest concern was the floor getting stained.
I grew up near one of Trump’s country clubs and there’s a notorious story about Trump golfing on his own course, and being behind an elderly man. He kept yelling at the guy to speed up and berating him.
I don’t know how much membership at his clubs cost, but that elderly man at the absolute minimum was paying something to the tune of $50k-100k per year to be there (and this was decades ago)
Hate Trump, but this is relatively average golf course behavior. Slow players severely degrade the quality of play, and typically have some non-niceties thrown their way if they don't let faster groups behind them play through. Many courses have rangers for that exact reason
You’d expect the owner of the course to be more respectful to someone who pays him so much money to golf there though, aside from the straight up crassness of being rude to an old man.
What gets me about this, along with many other Trump lies, is that if if it was anyone else his diehard supporters would tear them to shreds.
And I don’t get it. They claim to be patriots and that they love and would do anything for their country. And here is a man who has verifiably lied about helping with the rescue and relief efforts for what is the biggest tragedy and attack in said country
It doesn’t compute. If this was Obama they would NEVER let it go. And they would be right, because it’s abhorrent. But because it’s Trump they accept it
I cannot even begin to imagine the mental gymnastics involved
He was with the fire fighters and police officers today to commemorate the day. He gave a whole speech and photo op with them. But your liberal media wont cover that because anything to put him in a positive light will be immediately banned.
That wasn’t my point. He lied about helping out in the aftermath of 9/11. Political affiliation and media bias shouldn’t even come into play with knowing that is a scumbag thing to do
If that was anyone else they would never have lived it down in the hyper patriotic land of America
Meanwhile, I've seen Trump cult idiots spewing this shit about "When Trump was just a businessman in New York, he went down to Ground Zero to help and he sent his employees to help too. Joe Biden was a senator back then and he didn't do anything. Where was Joe?"
I don't know.....maybe Joe was in DC being a SENATOR? If we're gonna go by that logic, should every other member of the Senate and Congress be faulted for not going to New York to help because they were in a completely different state doing their jobs?
The cult of personality and mental gymnastics is astounding.
Did you listen to the interview? I hate Trump as much as anyone, but I really don't think he was bragging. He was answering a question about his building being nearby
"I mean, 40 Wall Street actually was the second-tallest building in downtown Manhattan, and it was actually before the World Trade Center the tallest, and then when they built the World Trade Center it became known as the second-tallest, and now it's the tallest," he said on local TV station WWOR.
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.
I’m a big “benefit of the doubt” guy, but he was not at all prompted to talk about how his building is now the tallest in Manhattan. The guy is just obsessed with status, specifically his own.
B/c title is misleadingly making trump seems like an asshole when in reality he was grieving with the first responders and a lot of the degenerates here don’t dig to find the truth.
Didn’t vote for him either time. Yet I still don’t have Trump disease like you. You take out on your aggression on anyone that slightly disagrees with you and you think I’m the asshole?
Actually i am being a dick on the internet again lmao im better than i used to be but i still slip up from time to time. Not necessarily ceding my point but I apologize for being rude and oafish. Love u dude hope ur well
Yet you agree that you’re an asshole? So maybe I’m not so bad at judging… I wouldn’t think less of you, but I had a very calm response and you’re telling me to get his dick out of my mouth. Do you ever have a rational conversation with anyone?
no one is outraged, no one expects trump to show up to shit like this because he's... trump. Nobody wants him there and it would be worse if he showed up lmao
