Was he technically correct?

He didn't say NY, he said tallest building in downtown manhatten.

That sounds more likely to be factually correct, but of course he's still a psychopathic narcissist who's clinincally incapable of understanding that other people feel pain.

Also, “own” is unlikely to be a fact either.

isn't Trump tower in Midtown? If you include Midtown as part of Downtown that covers pretty much every very tall skyscraper in the city

40 wall st was the address of the building being referenced, but i'm not super familiar with the layout of nyc.

[–] Peasley@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

That's my bad, i was thinking of a different building

That’s some “Joe hasn’t hit a home run since it was raining and Tuesday” stat guy shit, which tracks well enough given how it describes things, just make noise in front of a camera

To drive this home, Trump tower is the 32nd highest building in New York

Yes, it was the tallest by number of floors. Only beaten by one other building in absolute height by 20 feet
