Trump claims that after 9/11, "I went down, I was building a building in New York, and I went down there very shortly thereafter -- the following day, you couldn't go down the same day -- and we worked long and hard"

Of all the things that didn’t happen, this didn’t happen the most! Or maybe 3rd or 4th on the list. Easy to lose count for this faker who doesn’t know what compassion or empathy means. He did brag that his building was now the tallest in NYC now that TWC towers were gone.

First, everybody knew a plane went into the first tower hit,they just thought it was accidental. After, 2nd one, we all knew it was terrorism. 2nd, the new tower is off the exact footprint and didn't start work until '06, opened in'14. 3rd, he did not help out at his building site or anywhere else.

This is hilarious. Now he’s up there with the first responders, heroically clearing rubble to find trapped survivors. People need to ask Republicans about this. It’s such an obvious lie and they have to defend it, tarnishing themselves with this stain.

I was on a bus to help look for survivors at the World Trade Center the night of 9/11. We were warned there might be body parts in the rubble. The whole thing was called off because it was too dangerous. Stuyvesant High School was the triage center

The Red Cross had set up hundreds of cots in the gym. I was there to help the afternoon of 9/12. No one came. Exhausted fire fighters were sprawled on the floors in the hallways. That’s when I realized there were no survivors. Everyone had been incinerated.

They thought it was a boiler. no one saw the 1st plane hit? I love the self serving reaction he says he saw the second plane hit and his first thought was we are now in a different place. No thought for the people inside...

"Reflects" - Trump is incapable of reflection. Narcissus gazes into the pool and sees only his own reflection. He can never get below the surface and see what lies underneath (nor would he want to. Given what's there in his case, who would?)

"......& we worked long & hard" lies the man whose idea of 'work' was to visit his favourite sex traffickers,Epstein & Maxwell, for a rape or sexual assault.You owe the world to get rid of this threatening lunatic USA.Follow the $.

Trump has never been a part of anything that involves work or “we.” It’s always been “I” or “me.” What a vile fucking lying piece of shit!

He continually gets away with this psychotic behavior because the mainstream news will not call it out each and every time. He is insane and MSM is basically sane washing him.

Funny how not one person who was at Ground Zero saw this unpatriotic fuckwad there, but everyone remembers him lying about seeing Muslims celebrate and how he bragged about having the current tallest building.

I remember the bitch-slapping backlash. We were among the gagillions of people glued to CNN hoping for some something visual of our loved ones. He never learns from his mistakes, especially the ones that piss off all of NYC.

I remember being so SHOCKED that someone had used so many innocent human lives as a deadly weapon. I just couldn’t absorb it. It changed everything. It still hurts me today.

JHC. This has been debunked over and over again by first responders on the ground, firefighters and cops. He was NEVER there. That he keeps pushing this lie around the anniversary is a slap in the face to all first responders who were there, including my husband and my brother.

The thing is, that everyone should know by now he's a coward. The "tell" that the PA shooting was a set-up is the fact that he stood up and posed in the arena, when in a previous incident when an UNARMED person rushed the stage, the Secret Service grabbed the guy while Trump moved way as fast as+

On 9/12 Trump claimed that his building at 40 Wall Street in Lower Manhattan was now the tallest in the financial district following the destruction of the Twin Towers—though it was actually the second-tallest standing structure in the area, behind 70 Pine Street.

All 100% true. Trump also personally rescued every survivor from the Titanic. He said it wouldn't have sunk in the first place if he'd steered the ship instead of Joe Biden. pic curtesy of Canadians hate Trump

Ghislane Maxwell was asking a friend about her new WTC design within days after 9/11 and I think there had to have been people with foreknowledge of the attacks who profited from it.

At the time of the 9/11 attacks, Trump was at one of his buildings just two blocks away; he went down to the area, but he had nothing to do with the event, nor was he involved, and he didn't have anyone working or helping there—contrary to what he claims

“Everyone says he is crazy – which maybe he is – but the scarier thing about him is that he is stupid. You do not know anyone as stupid as Donald Trump. You just don’t.” -- ladies and gentlemen, mesdames et messieurs, the inimitable Fran Lebowitz 👏👏👏

I'll never forget him incorrectly correcting a contestant's grammar on "The Apprentice", repeating it because he was so sure. Ignorance amped by arrogance, not a good combination.

Remember when he was in Nevada giving a speech and made a joke about how people mispronounce the state’s name all the while mispronouncing it and then repeating himself But he got applause

And we abroad see nothing else than stupid US Americans voting for Trump. They can’t even name a neighboring country of the US; 12-year-old children know to answer that question here in Europe.

That POS has literally never worked a day in his life. “Work” to him is talking on the phone and telling whoppers, which you could not stop him from doing for free.

And remember he was in New Jersey, Paterson I think where he saw people on rooftops (because Paterson has a lot of skyscrapers) cheering and celebrating. He was just everywhere that day. PA, the Pentagon, NYC…

Well, he did go down there a few days later--and apparently lied even back then that he had "his people" helping clear the rubble. bsky.app/profile/chri... He's been telling this lie for 25 years, and there has never been any evidence supporting his claim. www.newsweek.com/fact-check-d...

newsweek.comFact Check: Did Donald Trump help clear rubble on 9/11?Video from 2016 of Trump claiming that he helped at Ground Zero on 9/11 has gone viral.
This post is unavailable.

But what is a fact is him bragging shortly after the 9-11 attack that this made Trump Building at 40 Wall Street again the tallest building in Manhattan. But it actually made it the 2nd tallest. ttps://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trum

No record of Trump or his employees at Ground Zero after 9/11 — Ever. "...over a hundred; 125 more coming ..." "Trump headquarters has no more than 100 employees." -- NY Times Where was Trump really? Lying.

he was 4 miles away at his home watching on tv and he called into wwor/upn 9 news to brag that he now had the tallest building in manhattan because he is and always has been a psychopath.

America twice elected a serial liar, public adulterer, admitted sexual predator (please see “grab them by the pussy” tape) with ZERO political experience convicted of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in NY in 2024 and found liable for sexual abuse and defamation in 2023. Voters?

This is all revisionism and lies. (Just like the lie that he went to the site to help. He did not.) Donald Trump's *real* reaction to the destruction of the World Trade Center towers was to go on TV and brag that he now owned the tallest building in downtown. Yes, he is that crass.

I remember that from replays of that phone call. He sounded like a reasonable person describing a horrific event until he made it about himself. Apparently the writing on the wall was done in that invisible ink crap that too many Americans can’t get past.

Trump is not only mentally unbalanced. He is a true pathological liar, unable to tell the truth even when it would actually benefit him.

But how great would it have been if he had gone down there, and someone had told him to wear a mask, and he refused because it would fuck up his hair, and he inhaled all the shit the first responders inhaled, and this whole nightmare of 2015-present could have been avoided?

He also claimed that he saw, with his own beady eyes, "thousands" of Muslims cheering across the river in NJ. Why hasn't evidence-based, I-do-my-own-research MAGA never celebrated the powers of his superhuman optic nerve?

Remember that from that day. He was quite enthused, despite being wrong. He cleared rubble? With his delicate hands and responders testing the rubble for safe recoveries? Give me a F-ing break.

This is true & he was on camera when he gloated..not giving a damn about the nearly 3000 murdered, while lying about how many "friends" he lost in the twin towers! Now he makes deals with the Saudi's for their money! He's a monster! To Magats: Investigate the history of the maniac you praise!

Larry Silverstein was the big cheese in rel estate at the World Trade Center site. I never heard Trump mentioned (or read about him) regarding downtown when I lived and worked there (before and after 9/11). Some photos I took after 9/11.

I was 10 blocks away when the World Trade Center was attacked with a bomb in 1993. NYPD told Guiliaini don't put the emergency command center in a place that is a target. Giuliani ignored them. He used to use the command center at 7 WTC for sex with Ms. Nathan, I had friends who worked in City Hall.

Trump's pal made things worse. He stored diesel against code at 7 World Trade Center, that building burned/smoldered for months, large black ashes in the air. Electric cables were run on the street. Trump did shit downtown. www.nytimes.com/2008/01/26/u...

nytimes.comMemo Details Objections to Command Center Site (Published 2008)The New York Police Department produced a detailed analysis, not previously disclosed, opposing plans by the city to locate its emergency command center at the World Trade Center.

I don't see how he could go the next day either. I lived 10 blocks north of 7 World Trade Center, I heard the first plane fly over the apt. Streets were blocked from 23rd St. or 14th St. to go south. After maybe a month that blockade was moved to Chambers, I had to show ID w/address to go south.

Canal St. (I wrote Chambers, Chambers is further south). I remember the checkpoint on Canal Street near the post office. I showed my driver license (which had my address, that was further south) to a NY State Trooper so I could get home, that was more than a month after the attack at that checkpoint

He's an 80 year old dementia-addled pathological liar coupled with a malignant narcissist personality disorder. He's repeated these lies so often he's long lost the ability to separate reality from his confabulations.

He’s beyond full of shit. Where’s the video? 1. He’s lazy and narcissistic and would never volunteer for anything. 2. They didn’t allow any old Tom, Dick or Harry on site to volunteer. That’s not how that works. Imagine the chaos. Adding untrained people to that? Nope.

He’s lying again. He never lifted a finger at Ground Zero. He also claimed he had a building damaged in the attacks, no he didn’t. It was another grift for insurance money.

He’s lying. He couldn’t wait to brag about the fact that his building was now the tallest in New York once the two towers fell. Disgusting piece of shit.

The world didn’t change. We as a nation were forced to pull our heads out of the sand and see that the world was bigger than we had imagined. And before we could reckon with the truth about how our actions affect the rest of the world, we got busy burying our heads in the sand again.

The only thing Trump did at the time was call in to brag that he now had the tallest building on Wall Street as reporters fawned over him as a "visionary". www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcKl... bsky.app/profile/atru...

Trump claims that after 9/11, "I went down, I was building a building in New York, and I went down there very shortly thereafter -- the following day, you couldn't go down the same day -- and we worked long and hard"

Interesting clip, that illustrates both how much Trump has declined since then & also how stupid he was at the time.

We worked bigger and harder than anyone ever thought of, everyone said we outworked the workers let me tell you. Nobody knew what work was until I said it, and now everybody's saying it.
