"Tallest Building or not. Trump got off to a quick start, bragging on 9/11/2001 that since the Twin Towers had been destroyed hours earlier, he now owned the tallest building in the area. Forty Wall Street actually was the second tallest building in downtown Manhattan, Trump said, adding 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."
"During an appearance on The Howard Stern Show on September 11, 2002, Trump marked the first anniversary of the attacks by joking with Howard Stern about replacing the World Trade Center with a statue of then-girlfriend Melania Knauss. Maybe we should build a television tower there, Trump suggested during the interview. Believe me, a statue of your girlfriend would be perfect right there, Stern quipped."
Donald Trump repeatedly made insensitive and inaccurate comments about the September 11, 2001 attacks. He boasted that his Forty Wall Street building became the tallest after the Twin Towers fell, despite the claim being false. He joked about replacing the World Trade Center with a statue of then-girlfriend Melania and laughed with hosts about flying into the statue. He contrasted Muslims with other nationalities in a March 31, 2011 interview, saying, "I don't notice Swedish people knocking down the World Trade Center." He used anniversaries to mock critics, tweeting wishes to "haters and losers."
