Donald Trump‘s whereabouts on 9/11 are well documented. As per his own account, he was in his apartment at Trump Tower in Midtown Manhattan watching TV when coverage cut to reports of an incident at the World Trade Center. He says he then looked out of his window and saw the second plane hit the tower.
Trump himself called into WWOR/UPN 9 News on 9/11, saying he saw “this huge explosion” from his window and describing his shocked reaction. During the call, he was also asked if there was any action being taken in Trump Tower. Trump didn’t indicate that he felt any danger, “there’s very little you can do about planes crashing into a building,” before pointing out that the attacks mean his building, 40 Wall Street, is now the tallest building in Manhattan.
