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