Trump has been front page news in NY for serious decades.
40 Wall was built in the 1930's. It was eventually acquired by President Marcos of Philippines via a secret trust. When the ship hit the fan, the US seized Marcos' assets and the building deteriorated. Trump bought it and has been trying to unload it, ever since. No takers.
40 Wall was not damaged on 9/11 because it is nearly a mile away from WTC. This did not however prevent Trump from asking for and receiving a handout from the 9/11 Fund earmarked for small businesses, below 14th street. Trump is among the many who had no damages and asked for and received grant money. Ford Motor, Dell, Bank of China and so on all received grants without having sustained damages.
The small corner pizza place that was destroyed got less, because money was handed out like candy due to intentionally lax state requirements to companies that had no business sticking their hand out.
I must walk really fast because I can get from WTC to 40 Wall in less than 10 minutes.
It's not almost a mile away, but it's definitely out of the neighborhood of the 20 or so buildings damaged on 9/11. There are lots of other buildings in between.
He has met the criteria for NPD his entire adult life. His public, child-like overreactions to any criticism is classic.
He's got a good shot at winning. What the hell is he going to do when he and his family become constant targets of ridicule and hate that accompanies the job of POTUS, in this age of Social Media.
Have you seen the number of press organizations he has "banned" from traveling with him? This is only the warm up act. Could he handle the scrutiny of being leader of the free world? Of course not. He can't handle the warm up act.
Is this what they're using to distract everyone from the fact that Hillary is allergic to oxygen and randomly falls down?
So you're complaining that the Democrats are distracting people from one issue, and the way you are complaining is to attempt to distract people from the topic of the thread.
Do you have reading comprehension issues? Or perhaps nuance is not your strong suit. 3000 people were murdered and the one thing you want to talk about is the height of your building?
Only conservatives fail to make the connection.
The interviewer brought it up.
Was Trump supposed to put his fingers in his ears and sing "La, La, La,...I can't hear you!"?

And yet he has gone on numerous news shows such as chris matthews.....would you like to see the same style and arrogant chris matthews lay into hillary like he did trump?
Hell, it was 270 (I could be wrong on these days) days for hillary before she even started talking to the press....

Trump won't release his tax records and claims that his doctors were "amazed at how healthy he is" or some other drek that you'd expect a child to make up about a visit to the doctor. He's a raving egotistical nutjob with delusions of competence in a field he cannot begin to understand. I've heard him described as a "sociopath toddler" and that is perhaps the best description of his mindset and maturity that can be written.
Even setting aside his monumental ignorance, bigotry, and sleaze that still manages to outdo Clinton's - and that's before Trump has had access to national level secrets or power - it still amazes me that the regressive wackjobs on the far right are supporting this nut. Oh, sure - the bigotry plays well with them, as does the empty-headed "tough guy" stance, where we're to believe that Trump is somehow going to bully the world into obeying him, but what ever happened to the conservatives' supposed fear of corrupt government with way too much power? I suppose they really are too damn stupid or ignorant to see in Trump all the tell-tale signs of a dictator in the making: the utter inability to handle any criticism, the immediate use of attacks and force in response to the smallest slight, the steps taken to neutralize any dissent, and the most opaque presidential campaign in history.
But we're all to believe that electing a corrupt loon who's so crooked no sane person would let him watch their house for a month or chaperone their daughter to the prom will somehow work out well for us. Because I guess tyranny is better than the nebulous "socialism" regressives so fear (without understanding), and even though they also claim "government is the root of all evil and corruption," electing an already corrupt sociopath into office will somehow cure him and make him into a great leader. Yeah... sure!

Oh man, that was wonderful. Really well written, and steel on target. If only the low information deplorables could understand it.
Either way, well said.
