While the ex-president continues to claim he won an election he lost, his real estate company is fibbing at scale on its website.
Visit the Trump Organization’s website, and you’ll find glassy New York skyscrapers, rolling Virginia vines and a shimmering Vegas pool. Alongside all the glamor, there’s hard data—facts and figures about the president’s business. Much of that data, however, is not true.
Consider the statistics about 40 Wall Street. The website calls the skyscraper a “72-story landmarked address.” It’s actually a 63-story building, according to a document filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The site says it has 1.3 million square feet of office space. It really has 1.1 million, according to the document.
What The Trump Organization Claims
Same building, two descriptions. The president’s website (above) boasts that 40 Wall Street is bigger than an SEC filing (below) says it is.
