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.

Ok I’ll bite, in what weird way was somebody trying to look at his hands? In some screwy manner that might make you call him a name in response? Seems like fair game to me.

“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...”

Maybe the prick was so angry and so consumed wiih hate that he was a victim of spontaneous human combustion. After 8 years of Obama and the democrats behavior now I’m surprised I myself haven’t ignited or gone up like a sky rocket.

“Hmmm... The guy was Jewish and obviously mentally disturbed. Hence, “Crazy Jew”. So what exactly is the problem here?”

Not Jewish, but definitely mentally disturbed, is probably where the cause of the fire lies. Just remember the last episode of “Better Call Saul” where Jimmy’s mentally ill brother Chuck burns down his house due to an accident with a gasoline lantern and kills himself in the process.

"...I won’t call them crazy...if I could come up with a term..."


As an easygoing Christian Protestant it is astounding to me I am far more supportive of Israel and her best interests than most of my Jewish friends and acquaintances.

“As an easygoing Christian Protestant it is astounding to me I am far more supportive of Israel and her best interests than most of my Jewish friends and acquaintances.”

Weird how that works - I guess their hatred of conservatives is stronger than any love they may have towards Israel.

I wonder how many Muslims put a higher value on Israel’s survival than they do on Mecca...answer, less than 1.
