New Trump Ad Stars 1 WTC, Which Trump Once Called “Disgusting” Proof That Terrorists Have Won [VIDEO]

First, a recap from the New York Times:

The $10 million ad buy is the largest to date for Mr. Trump in the general election. His message will be broadcast in Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Florida, New Hampshire, Virginia, Iowa, Colorado and Nevada — a batch of battlegrounds that will likely determine the outcome of the race in November.

Titled “Two Americas: Economy,” the new ad features struggling workers in crumbling neighborhoods and declares that under Mrs. Clinton’s leadership the country would experience “more of the same, but worse.” The ad then cuts to Mr. Trump’s economic vision, with happy workers enjoying higher wages and more jobs. It concludes with a shot of the glistening new 1 World Trade Center.

But hang on, says Brian Tashman:

The tower’s inclusion in the ad is curious because Trump himself was a vocal opponent of the One World Trade Center project, claiming in 2005 that design of the tower let “the terrorists win.”

“I don’t want to have the terrorists win … and that’s what’s going to happen if we build this pile of junk,” he said.

Trump had proposed instead building a taller version of the Twin Towers, calling the design that was ultimately chosen “disgusting,” “just terrible,” “a catastrophe” and “the worst pile of crap architecture I have ever seen in my life.”
