Close friend of man killed in Trump Tower fire says President once called victim 'crazy Jew'
He died in the home he hated, in a building owned by a man who apparently hated him.
Todd Brassner, a 67-year-old art dealer who lost his life Saturday in the Trump Tower fire, despised building owner Donald Trump, a friend of the victim told the Daily News. The feeling was evidently mutual, with now-President Trump allegedly calling Brassner a crazy Jew soon after the art dealer moved into the Fifth Ave. high-rise more than two decades ago, Brassner pal Patrick Goldsmith said Sunday.
A fellow art dealer, Goldsmith said he heard the vile remark in 1996 as he entered the building and passed by the exiting Trump. Goldsmith, who like Brassner opposes the President, took the opportunity to glance at Trumps petite hands which gained notoriety in the late 1980s and suffered another wave of scrutiny during the 2016 presidential campaign.

Will have to be patient.
My guess is his art friend is after his art. Nothing would surprise me.
Maybe he was.
I agree with you. Check this guy out. Maybe this BFF is really BFF until you happen to die!!
So why didn’t he move?
Good one.
Either that or the story is a total fabrication. I lean towards the latter.
now Trump is burning Jews! Holy Moses!
I have a friend who sometimes calls some of his employees “crazy jew,” “crazy nigger,” “crazy bitch.”
They in turn call him names. Its all in jest, of course.
It shocks outsiders looking in, but these people have all been with him for 20+ years, and they are good friends outside work, and they all help each other out in their personal lives.
So without deep context and knowledge, this article is just more MSM propaganda.
DailyNews trying to become The Onion.
How much Insurance do they have on the contents?
If I called anyone those names where I work, I wouldn’t get the words out of my mouth before I was cleaning out my desk.
And that is OK.
I understand your point. I started working at a place where the language was very harsh. Then I went to work where none of it was tolerated. I have to say the latter is a nicer place to work.
And for the past thirty years I’ve managed a bunch of call centers—and profanity of any kind is not allowed within a significant range of an open telephone mic.
It doesn’t make us less or more racist. But it does make us sound more professional.
I guess one could ask why Jews are the only group that consistently votes AGAINST their own pocketbooks (1), and, for that matter consistently votes AGAINST their own personal safety (2).
I won’t call them crazy...if I could come up with a term.
(1) - Jews are considerably wealthier than the public as a whole, yet they empower the takers of society
(2) - Jews are consistently the target of waves of hate-driven violence, yet they empower those would jail the bad guys and take guns away from the good guys.
From unnamed sources... “Trump was also known to ring the guy’s doorbell and run.”
Probably didn’t hate Trump until 2015. Besides, doesn’t Love Trump Hate?
To be fair, my friend's business is 100% his own. He has about 30 employees and many have been with him since he started the business. He's very generous and treats employees like family - which for him, means joking with them with the familiarity of family. I agree it would never work in any other, especially corporate, setting.
Sure it does. Just make sure to put the newspaper back in the vending machine when you’re done.
Yep.

I think there’s a pretty decentertaining likelihood there’s foul play involved here somehow. Be interesting to see who’s handling the case and how.
That didn't used to be a problem when we trusted the PTB. If the Feebs get anywhere near this case, though, I will start to smell a rat...
99.99% of the time when PDJT calls someone a name..it turns out to be true.
