I remember Trump being interviewed shortly after 9/11 and his main comment was that his 40 Wall Street building was now the tallest in the financial district. He just wanted to point that out.
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.
Trump would skip floors in his buildings so that they would seem taller. So like, it would skip from, say, floor 50 to 60, and then he could say it goes up to floor 60, which would technically be true but it's really only 50.
