#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 Im 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 Fixs JM Rieger details here.
Mondays comments quickly drew condemnation from the presidents critics, including from Twitters 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? Its true. Believe me. I wonder what other, little known facts there are about Donald Trumps accomplishments or roles in history. Please share if you know one. #LostTrumpHistory.
