As the 16th anniversary of 9-11 is commemorated today, we remember the innocent victims, the sacrifices of the first responders and all the families impacted. We also have to remember one jarring and prescient note that was sounded on the day of the attack by none other than narcissistic sociopath Donald "Rump" Trump taking the opportunity to brag about his building at 40 Wall Street. Here's what he told New York's WWOR on 9/11/01:
“40 Wall Street 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.”It takes a special kind of sick monster to see things in that way while tremendous suffering was occurring.
BONUS: Raw Story has the many other times Rump has used 9-11 to keep the spotlight on him.
BONUS II: Here's the actual recording of a very matter- of- fact Rump yapping about his building being the tallest after the World Trade Center towers went down --
16 years ago, today, Trump talked about how his building was now the tallest one since the World Trade Center fell. pic.twitter.com/Dcr8OLF695— Brian Klaas (@brianklaas) September 11, 2017
