But later on people who had been alive then had no idea he was like this and voted for him in three different elections.

Youtube video timestamped to the quote:
"It was an amazing phone call. It was the second tallest, but now it's the tallest."
How anyone voted for this piece of shit to be president, TWICE, will forever be a mystery to me.
Woah this guy should be president and we ahould let him do whatever he wants. -americans for some reason
It would have been so good if it only were to happen in US, but it seems people worldwide are absolute shite and they keep electing this kind.
When liberals keep selling far-right positions back to the masses, why would the masses bother voting for the people who only just started saying those things were issues, when they could listen to the people who've been saying it the whole time?
The reason why fascism is capitalism in decline. Capital captured politicians can't reverse course on policies that increase suffering for the benefit of profit, so they have no answers to the growing problems of profit-seeking without end. Fascists don't have answers either, but they don't have to worry about things like reality or political possibility when selling their version of the future. They just agitate, villianize outgroups, and win when liberals/centrists try to repeat their politics in an effort to chase the Overton window.
Almost like these kinds of politicians without morals or shame are all being organized and supported by others that somehow benefit from them... strange.
Most people don't pay attention. They saw him say some funny stuff at a rally and then their mind was made up for the rest of their life.
Was he technically correct?
No. Not even close.
To drive this home, Trump tower is the 32nd highest building in New York
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tallest_buildings_in_New_York_City
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.
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
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
Good. So Trump IS stable... genius stable... one.
Yes, it was the tallest by number of floors. Only beaten by one other building in absolute height by 20 feet
Dutch comedian Arjen Lubach made a preview of what Trump will say happened to him the coming years (spoiler: he's not done making things up): https://youtu.be/T1amNlMeqbA?t=232.
The first 2,5 minute are in Dutch, as he lists all the things Trump previously said about his whereabouts on 9/11.
Worth noting that it has actual English subtitles, not machine generated, and confirms OP's post.

Nice, must mean they were expecting (or at least hoping for) foreign viewers.
I was there and when I saw Trump being carried out by those two burly firemen, my heart swelled that this great man had been saved, and I said to him, with tears in my eyes, "Sir..." (even THEN he commanded respect) "Sir, thank God you're alright." Then I touched the hem of his garment, he nodded, said "Bless you", and I'll never forget it.
I saw him that day. He just winked at me and said, ẗ̸͔́̕h̶̤̽̿ĕ̴̞ ̴͕̀a̸͓̣͐b̵̩͆͗o̶͚͐̂m̶̠̩̈i̷̝͔͊͘ṅ̴̮͒ã̷͙̱t̴̗̼͒i̶̯̘͌͂o̸̠̎n̴̮̑ ̵̩̊w̵̠̬͘i̷̲͒̂l̵̪̀̆l̶͕̇͛ ̷̙͈͒̒b̴̎͜ē̸͚̮ ̷̘͐̌b̴͚̈o̷͉̙͒r̸̄͜ṇ̶͎̇ ̵̹̂ͅo̷̻͘f̴͈͍̂ ̴̣͌͋a̵͍̯͒ ̶̭́ḍ̷̦́̀e̸̪̎͘f̴̤̚͝ì̵̝͚ľ̴͉̰͑ḙ̵̺̐̅d̶̟̉ ̴̛̘̎v̶̰̱̚i̵̠̿̑͜ȓ̸͇̏g̸̯̍i̵̚͜n̵̗̽ ̴̺̺̍p̸͔̓r̵̰͑͝i̶̪̝͝ë̵̗̲́s̶̮͐͒t̶̥̘͋͌e̴͚͉̚s̷͖̽ś̶͙̍ ̶̪͍̑̋f̶̧̔r̷̤͑̚ȏ̴̞m̷̛̝͖̌ ̸̝̱̓͘a̸͚͈͗ ̴̡̒͑f̵͍̦̈́o̵͈͊r̴͓̓̄ë̶͙́͝î̷͓g̷̯͇̒n̴͔̆́ ̷̼͒̋ĉ̷̼̜̏o̴̫͊n̵̛̜q̴̖̍u̷͖̇̔͜è̷̼͙r̴̖̳̄è̷̞d̸͖͍̈́ ̴̝̦̐̅t̴̬̺̾r̶̥̟̋͝i̸̫͋b̷̟͙͠e̵̥̕,̶̟̐ ̶̢͌h̴̳̿́e̴̹̾ȑ̸̪ ̷̭͖̔̿d̶͍̈́͛͜r̷͓̞̍e̶̻̰̚s̴̺̈̓s̶͇̋ ̸̖̺͐p̶̞̐u̶̢͔͒͠l̴̙͗ͅl̴̠̑̓e̸̪͛d̷̰̮̄̈́ ̷̱̗͋ä̵̡͖p̵͇̗̅̽à̶̛͓r̸̤̆ẗ̸̖͗ ̷̲̙̓å̴̜n̶̖̥̎d̶̫͊ ̷̡͍̀͘h̶̻̽e̶̠͗̀ȓ̴͕͒ ̷͔̝͝l̵̢͋̂o̸̗̕i̶̗͠ṋ̸͇̂̾s̶̬̹̋ ̵̗͕̓s̵͖̚ǒ̵̤̬ḭ̶̈l̴̜̟̉̌e̴͈͒d̷̠̂͑ ̵̛̹́w̷̮̕î̴͈̓͜t̷̖̘͂͝ḥ̵̪̑̆ ̵͍̻̒̀b̶̪̅͌l̵̘̩̄̉o̶͓͑ỏ̴͙͋d̸̻̖̈́ ̵͎̖̂s̸̼̉p̶̘̲̂̑ì̶̙l̴͙̪͑́l̶̜̰̿è̵̖͉͝ḍ̸̒͝ ̸̝̖̔w̸̮̐ḯ̴͍̀͜ẗ̷̻͔h̴̛̜̪ ̸̻͛͝ë̷̙́̀n̸͕̈́v̵̖̌́ỳ̶͕̭̐
Has a more selfish man ever existed?
Douches gonna douche. As much as we like to point out that he's a tasteless scumbag, his base already knows this and loves him for it. A lot of people relish the idea of not caring about anything beyond themselves and being able to openly express opinions without any actual knowledge. They respect that he acts the way they want to.
Is there source or just BS
My brother in Christ, the answer in one DDG search away.
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-911-tallest-building/
Why should they bother searching when they know someone will do it for them?
My experience with DDG has been that the thing I'm looking for is never just one search away. It usually takes two or three before I just give up and go to StartPage

Yes. I was alive and heard it when it happened. It was so fucking tone deaf.
