‘You Won’t Believe What He Said!’: Trump’s Awkward 9/11 Size Claim Resurfaces

A decades-old interview featuring President Donald Trump has resurfaced, drawing criticism for his seemingly insensitive remarks following the September 11 attacks. In this interview conducted shortly after the tragic events, Trump shifted the focus to a boast about 40 Wall Street, claiming it had now become the tallest building in downtown Manhattan. This occurred on the day of the deadliest attack in U.S. history, which resulted in thousands of casualties and significant geopolitical consequences. During a local television segment with WWOR, Trump, responding to questions about any damage to his property, described the scene near the still-smoldering Twin Towers, focusing on the height of his building rather than expressing sympathy for the victims.As two years passed, critics highlighted the tone-deaf nature of his comments, viewing them as self-serving. Social media reactions varied, with some users expressing disbelief over his lack of empathy during such a somber moment in American history.
