Manhattan: Man Scales Side of Trump Tower
-----------------------------------------

And here in New York City, a 20-year-old Virginia man scaled the side of
the Trump Tower using industrial-grade suction cups and a rope and
harness on Wednesday. The man, who is a Trump supporter, said his goal
was to reach the top of the tower and ask for a personal meeting with
Donald Trump. After an hours-long standoff, the police pulled him
through a window on the 21st floor and took him to Bellevue Hospital.
