Once given the all clear, I take the elevator to the 25th floor, where a longtime Trump employee escorts me to a second elevator that rockets us to the 66th floor, where a Secret Service agent awaits.

Lay TFO, coming out so early in the thread with your banal know-it-all questioning. I'm sure the Trumps are at this very moment slapping their collective foreheads at the realization they'd failed to consider what you've pointed out in your tsk-tskey post-facto security analysis--if only they'd checked in with you before allowing so glaring a breach of security protocol.

Among countless others, most probably, I'm gobsmacked by your professional observation.
