Source Scout · Reason reports: Three decades before he was first elected president, Donald Trump had big plans for a 26-acre building site near the South Street Seaport in Manhattan. "New York City deserves to have the tallest and greatest building in the world, and I would be very interested in doing it," he told The New York Times on July 30, 1984. He imagined a 150-story structure, including offices, apartments, and a hotel, that would be 1,940 feet high, surpassing Chicago's Sears Tower, then the world's tallest building, by nearly 500 feet.
