The tweet came as fire officials responded to a four-alarm fire on the 50th floor of Trump Tower. One death has been reported.
It was the second fire to break out at the building in about three months. The New York Fire Department responded to a minor fire in a cooling tower on the roof of the building in January. Two people sustained minor injuries in that incident.
