Before he was nominated Republican presidential candidate earlier this year, Donald Trump was perhaps best known as an outspoken business leader and property magnate.

Among Trump’s portfolio of real estate were a number of high-profile buildings across downtown Manhattan, including 40 Wall Street, an imposing structure close to the site of the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Centre buildings.

Now, 15 years on from the tragedy, incredible footage has emerged of the controversial billionaire describing the moment he found out about the atrocity which claimed more than 3,000 lives as “amazing”.

“Well it was an amazing phone call,” he told local news channel 9News.

“40 Wall Street actually was the second tallest building in New York and downtown Manhattan and before the World Trade Centre, it was the tallest.

“Then when they built the World Trade Centre it became known as the second tallest but now it’s the tallest again.”

Furious Twitter users have been recirculating the clip after archived footage of the mind-blowing interview appeared online.

“Every disaster, every person’s misery, Trump makes it about himself,” one viewer wrote.

Another comment read: “Do we need any other proof that this man cares about nothing other than himself?”

The road to the US presidential elections in November took an interesting turn this week after a worrying video clip emerged online showing Hillary Clinton collapsing into her car following a public appearance.

Doctors say the 68-year-old had been suffering with pneumonia and has since cancelled a campaign trip to California in order to aid her recovery.
