Trump Tower Partially Evacuated Due to Suspicious Package
Source: ABC News
The lobby of Trump Tower was briefly evacuated Tuesday amid reports of a suspicious package found in the Manhattan skyscraper, sources said.
The NYPD gave the all clear after investigating the suspicious backpack that was left in the lobby, which they determined contained children's toys.
NYPD and FDNY officials were called to the scene in midtown. The evacuation was protocol for a suspicious package and does not necessarily indicate how serious the situation is.
Footage from outside the tower shows the stream of people leaving the building.

Already I'm hearing a million dollars a day for that dump. This just adds to the price tag.

We have crossed over into territory with this person as president that will be devastating in so many ways we are yet to even calculate or realize.
It is going to be very bad for everybody but the rich.

(2,037 posts)The Trump Tower, built largely with unskilled undocumented labor between 1980 and 1983 and with lots of corner-cutting, is very much starting to show its age.
As tight-fisted and larcenous as Trump is, moreover, maintenance has left a lot to be desired. Who, indeed, would want to live there - other than hangers-on trying to enrich themselves through a Trump presidency.

(23,142 posts)NYC? Trump Tower? Seriously? What a joke. He's taking a personal joyride at the taxpayers' expense. The Presidency is not a permanent stay-cation. He should show up for work, not phone it in like bush junior.

(23,302 posts)for anything with DFT's name on it world wide. DFT towers, hotels and casinos across the globe will be soft targets for terrorists. Easy pickings for any two bit group wanting to make a name for themselves. Why wouldn't you bomb a Drumpf hotel instead of a well guarded embassy building? Since nobody is making him divest of his businesses, we're on the hook for paying for security...for everything...Once again DFT laughs all the way to the bank.

(29,225 posts)The image of tRump's head (trump tower) being evacuated because a suspicious package (occurrence of an idea that he should govern in the public's best interest, for example) arrives. The fire/emergency team scrambling up ladders to his brain include Bannon, Gingrich, etc.

(5,754 posts)just leave packages at the door, in the lobby, in the restrooms, of Trump buildings. Make sure the contents are harmless, perhaps Trump caviar or some Ivanka shoes. The buildings will be evacuated, folks will get annoyed, and his business will decline. Who wants to get up in the middle of the night and stand on the street? A lot of his buildings are condos or hotels, so folks sleep there.
