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 Trump’s petite hands — which gained notoriety in the late 1980s and suffered another wave of scrutiny during the 2016 presidential campaign.

Shhhh, you! It obviously was an assessment of all Jews! Just ask a Democrat and they’ll confirm it was.

He starts with a hearsay smear on Trump then throws in a gratuitous "Resistance" insult. This guy is a phony who is using the death of his friend (if he even knows the guy) as a chance to bash Trump. He's a ghoul.

They are really scraping the bottom of the barrel nowadays. This “newspaper” doesn’t even qualify for birdcage liner or fish wrapper. Pathetic.

Just straight facts in this/ NOT. Honestly, they have dragged any innuendo against Trump out to put into this article (such a surprise/s).

Per the rag: fire appears “accidental”.

Whoakaaaay. How does an “accidental” fire start in a $2.5 mil apartment in a modern highrise...?

Dead vic a smoker? Burn the roast? Use a faulty electric space heater?

Or is sonething else going on...

A comment allegedly spoken 22 years ago is making the news?

They truly are desperate.

I thought body shaming was a big no-no? But Trump's "notorious hands" are apparently fair game.

Can you imagine Hillary's fat cankles getting the same treatment?

He's a ghoul.

Or a perp...? I'd be looking at him if anything is squirrely regarding the fire and/or the dead guy.

Yep, if he did say it he was right, and I don’t think he did say it. Does “Oh that crazy Jew” sound like something Trump would say? Read the story this guy is putting forth: He says he was staring at Trumps small hands and then Trump looked at him and said “Oh that crazy Jew”. What?? I grew up in New York city and knew about Trump since the early 1980s. Not ONCE did I ever think he had small hands or focus on his hands. This guy is lying. He is just mentioning his hands because he got it from the leftists focusing on them today.
