It doesn't look like he stayed up all night dying his underwear but it sure does look like this guy put a lot of planning into his daredevil stunt yesterday.
The as yet unidentified man decked himself out in climbing gear yesterday and proceeded to scale Trump Tower in Manhattan using suction cups. Besides getting the GOP nominee's attention, his reasons for doing so are not 100% clear.

Police were quick to arrive on the scene and formulate a plan to pull the young man inside the building, however they may have been a little reckless in how they went about it.

TO CLARIFY: The NYPD is breaking windows so as the police are able to get close to him, they didn't try to kill him.

The man, who we're going to refer to as the Human Fly from here on out, posted a video message to Donald Trump on YouTube on Tuesday which gives a small bit of insight into the reasoning behind the climb.
We're not sure if he got Trump's attention but he certainly captured the imagination of the public.

All we have to say is that he's very lucky the Be Sharps didn't hold a reunion concert on the roof of Moe's at the same time.
