#LostTrumpHistory: Trump's 9/11 claims become a George Conway-pushed meme

President Trump, who this month told Americans about the airports taken over in the Revolutionary War, had a new contribution to the historical record Monday at the signing of the Sept. 11 victims compensation fund extension.

“Many of those affected were firefighters, police officers and other first responders. And I was down there also, but I’m not considering myself a first responder. But I was down there. I spent a lot of time down there with you,” he said to a Rose Garden crowd that included 9/11 first responders.

There is no evidence that Trump went to Ground Zero after the 2001 terrorist attacks, but the president does have a long history of inserting himself into it, as The Fix’s JM Rieger details here.

Monday’s comments quickly drew condemnation from the president’s critics, including from Twitter’s unofficial Martha Mitchell, George Conway, the wayward husband of Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway.

Soon after, Twitter user @JoJoFromJerz joked: “Did you know that Donald Trump was the first aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean? It’s true. Believe me. I wonder what other, little known facts there are about Donald Trump’s accomplishments or roles in history. Please share if you know one. #LostTrumpHistory.”

Challenged Mickey Mantle to a race to 1st base. Mantle started from the right side of the plate and Donald started from the left side. Donald was clocked at 3.2 seconds and Mantle at 3.8 seconds. It was after this race that Donald's dad's doctor discovered that Donald had beaten Mantle having bone spurs on a yet to be determined foot.
