Trump Pulled 9/11 Victims out of Rubble

the man is a born liar

Trump’s Bizarre History With 9/11


Beyond perpetuating Muslim conspiracy theories, Trump once claimed he himself pulled 9/11 victims out of rubble

Quote:
It wasn’t the only time he used 9/11 as a political tool. “The World Trade Center came down because Bill Clinton didn’t kill Osama bin Laden when he had the chance to kill him,” he said during a debate in February 2016. “And George Bush, by the way, George Bush had the chance, also, and he didn’t listen to the advice of his CIA.” When the audience booed, Trump claimed that he “lost hundreds of friends” in the attacks. A few months later, during a campaign event in Buffalo, New York, he lied about putting himself in harm’s way to help clear rubble.

We should give some thought to the 3,000 who died that day and the 1000's that have died and are now dying. Presumably the deadly airborne cocktail released after those 3 buildings were blown up.

It gets worse:  On September 11, 2001, Donald Trump called a local news station and bragged about how one of his buildings was now the tallest in lower Manhattan.

Rich, would it be more appropriate to double fist pump like Trump did today?

I still don't get it!

Should he shake just one fist? Or maybe alternate between the 2?

Maybe hes practicing lifting barbells?

Fascists shake fists, Rich. Is acting in a dignified manner impossible for the man?

Stalin shook his fist - was he a fascist too or was trying to convey passion in his speeches?

Yes, yes, Trump's authoritarian role models all shook their fists publicly. Maybe even Trump's sleazeball mentor Roy Cohn shook his fist as well before going down on men in the loo. That would be a good research project for you, Rich!

Rich goes from putting a poster down because they weren't being respectful enough to the victims of 9/11 (because they were pointing out some of the horrible things Trump has done related to that even), to immediately reversing his position of showing respect on 9/11 by defending Trump being disrespectful once more in the photo.

And he sees nothing wrong with that? Complete 180 in a matter of minutes.

donald certainly isnt boring is he.

donald knows how to get the media to put him in the spotlight.

he understands politics and the people at a level that the left just dont get.

people look at trump and they see an interesting guy.

then they look at the left and they see a mildly disgusting "cautionary tale"

there's nothing interesting about these people.

5 minutes of watching these people and you would be done with the left

Hell we could pick a video of ingorant Trump supporters and show worse.

The problem is that you're right, he's a great politician.  He knows how to work a crowd and tell them what they want to hear leading to great applause and popularity.

The problem is he's a terrible leader and throughout his career it's been well documented that he wants the praise, the photo off, the adoring fans and applause but has no interest in actually doing the worse to get it and this has directly translated to him having no interest in actually doing the job of running the country.

He just wants to sign bits of paper, get the photo op then lie about how things are instantly so much better, praise be to Trump.

He just wants the applause and praise for a job well done without actually doing the job.

It's been his MO for decades.  Lie to investors about how great his plans are and how they'll make more money than they can count, use that money they invest very poorly resulting in an inferior outcome, lie some more claiming the outcome was first class, declare bankruptcy and try again hoping for an even stupider set of investors.

At the moment the latest stupid investors are the Trumptards.  Let's hope the next business he bankrupts isn't the American economy, but the numbers don't look good. 

Look at the numbers released by the Whitehouse.  Unemployment is set rise, the GDP is set to drop and the deficit is set to top 1 Trillion in 2019.

And he's doing nothing to help these areas other than trade wars with one of the US biggest trading partners which is the ONLY reason why the GDP hit the 4.1%.  The base rate of that was only 2.7%.  Despite Trump's claims of 5% being projected for July-September quarter, nobody is actually projecting that.  He's making enemies with the wrong people.

Trump either flat-out lies or exaggerates all of his achievements.

Remember when Trump said,

TRUMP: "We’ve created 3.9 million more jobs since Election Day - so almost 4 million jobs - which is unthinkable."

THE FACTS: It’s not that unthinkable since more jobs were created in the same period before the November 2016 election than afterwards.

It’s true that in the 20 months since Trump’s election, the economy has generated 3.9 million jobs. In the 20 months before his election, however, employers added 4.3 million jobs.

It's just another example of him lying to the people and more proof that he's squandering all the upward trend he inherited.

those 2 statements are mutually exclusive.

nowadays, in the cult of celbrity, if you know how to work a crowd, you are by definition a great leader.
Joe Lunchbox doesnt pay any attention to politics.
his mood when he goes to work is far more infleunced by the temperament of the leader then any policy.
trump gets this.
america is based on the sovereignty of the individual.
thats why his job is to inspire the individual and then set him free.

the all smothering, all embracing, oedipal mother of the "state' which wants to take precedence over the individual is poisonous to the american people.
they LIKE that trump is just dicking around on twitter and not screwing around in their lives
