Witnesses say the man started climbing Donald Trump’s namesake skyscraper at about 4 p.m. He also lives there. “The man had multiple ID’s on him, and police officials have not yet formally confirmed his name”.
While police have not released Steve’s full name or actual goal, we do know from his YouTube video, that Steve is a Trump supporter.
He added “I am an independent researcher seeking a private audience with you to discuss an important matter”. He spent hours scaling the building Wednesday before police grabbed him through a window on the 21st floor. The Republican presidential candidate was not there Wednesday as he was campaigning in Virginia. So, to get the attention of the most infamous man in the United States right now, Steve made a decision to climb the side of Trump Tower.
It remains unclear whether legal action will be taken against Rogata.
This item has been corrected to show the tower is 58 stories, not 68. He was taken into custody by authorities who reached through an open window as he tried to pass the 21st floor. The reason I climbed your tower is to get your attention. I guarantee it is in your interest to honor this request.
Police warned Rogata as he climbed that the suction cups could cause the windows to crack. Believe me, if my goal was not significant, I would not risk my life pursuing it.
The climber wanted a face-to-face meeting with Mr Trump, as explained in an anonymous YouTube video, Manhattan South police commander William Morris told reporters after the incident.
“His sole intention was to meet with Mr. Trump”, NYPD Chief William Aubry said Wednesday. “I’m 100 percent certain the NYPD had better things to do”.

As for Trump, the Republican nominee briefly addressed the odd stunt on Twitter yesterday, writing, “Great job today by the NYPD in protecting the people and saving the climber”.
