This time the 27-year-old, from Weehawken, New Jersey, has climbed up the Empire State Building, as reported by Need To Know.

He scaled the 102-story art deco skyscraper in Manhattan, New York City, on Monday, 29 July.

Justin also shared a clip of the event to his Instagram, where he has gained over 1.2 million views.

“Had to wait a long time to post this. Let’s get @‌realdonaldtrump to collaborate on this post. Together, we are going to Make America Great Again,” the comment reads.

Social media users have been left in shocked by the climb.

One person said: “Legend has it, he rode the American eagle down.”

Other viewers urged the influencer to give up his dangerous hobby, telling him to “stop risking” his life.

In 2016, Justin was sentenced to 30 days community service in charges of reckless endangerment and trespassing for scaling the 1,776-foot-tall One World Trade Center.

In 2017, the then teen was sentenced to three years’ probation after climbing a 52-story condo building, as well as dangling from a spire at the top of another complex.
