If I were rich enough to afford a 68th floor Manhattan penthouse, you can be certain there would be a telescope on a tripod handy to the windows. And binoculars.
Decent binoculars would probably have been sufficient.
Of course you can see for miles and miles from New York skyscrapers. That was never the question, but rather whether one can see a falling human body from four miles away.
I don’t know.
Trump just needs to explain that he was watching through binoculars. That, or quit making stuff up. I truly don’t know which is the truth.
And therein lies the problem with Mr. Trump.
Trump will be called a liar in any case. He is faced with ‘have you stopped beating your wife’ question.
He says he saw them fall (which I believe based on personal experience without visual aid—read my earlier comments up-thread for the reason why).
Anyway, let’s say he was using a telescope or binoculars, because he gives no thought to using a telescope or binoculars in his apartment, uses them all the time, so he didn’t think to add he used them to watch it happen.
Because of that, imagine the howls if he clarifies he was using a telescope or binoculars-—you see, he didn’t say he was using a telescope or binoculars that means he wasn’t using them (even though those things are pretty standard in high-rise apartments everywhere), and if he does say he was using a telescope or binoculars, he is now lying.
He can’t win. The Trump haters won’t let him.
IF he saw people jumping - with or without binoculars - how is that embroidering? Why and to whom need he explain?
These attacks are getting pettier than a pack of Middle School girls.
