Trump Towers' website -- the online home of one of Donald Trump's glitzy skyscrapers in Manhattan -- went offline for around an hour on Friday... and the activist hacker group Anonymous is claiming responsibility. Anonymous left this message on Twitter, saying the site was taken down as a statement against racism and hatred.
