Trump Renews His Old 9/11 Lie
Sep 15^th, 2019 at 5:22am

President Trump Claims He Was At Ground Zero On Sept. 11. But Was He?

... there was still some surprise this week when at services to mark the 18th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, the president insisted, "Soon after, I went down to Ground Zero with men who worked for me to try to help in any little way that we could ... We were not alone. So many others were scattered around trying to do the same. They were all trying to help."

Richard Alles, battalion chief of the New York Fire Department at the time of the attacks, spent several months in the smoking, choking ruins at ground zero. He told PolitiFact this summer, "I was there for several months — I have no knowledge of his being down there." He added that there would be a record of Donald Trump sending a hundred or more workers to aid in the harrowing recovery efforts at Ground Zero; there is not.

To be fair, the F A T orange puke did help all of those suffering that day by proclaiming his building was now the tallest in N.Y.C.

You can't get any more patriotic than that.

Trump was there.

Where were you aia?

Hiding under your bed?

Were you even in the US back then or were you still living in Pakistan?

There is no evidence to support Trump's claim. Stepping out onto the sidewalk in front of Trump Tower and lying just doesn't count for anything. Sorry MAGAnic.

No no, Mr Trump went to ground zero a few months later for a photo shoot. The men who worked for him were his bodyguards. Mr Trump tried to help anyway he could by waving to construction workers and giving them the thumbs-up.

Now stop spreading lies about Mr Trump, okay?

Exactly. You see? When you're given lemons, make lemonade.

What a courageous man.
