Trump Appears to Be Making Stuff Up About 9/11. Again.

Trump told Newsmax Tuesday night that he was “down there” near the World Trade Center and helped out after the attacks, a claim he’s been making for two decades now. But while he was near the site in the days after the attack, he’s never proven that he helped—while lying about charitable donations to support 9/11 victims.

“Well, I was down there right after the event and I brought a big crew of people down and I helped, a lot of other people helped. Those first responders are very brave,” Trump said.

Trump, who plans to spend the 20th anniversary of 9/11 by calling a boxing match, went on to claim that he heard another building nearby creaking as if it might collapse.

“We were hearing creaks—I’ve never forgotten it, it was I think the United States Steel Building it was called at the time, it was 50 stories tall, and we heard creaks. I said, ‘That building is going to come down,’ and two big firemen grabbed me, and grabbed other people, and they just moved out of that area. Never came down, but I never heard a noise like that. And it was a scary situation.”

This is obviously bullshit because the firemen didn't have tears in their eyes.

1. "I brought a big crew of people down and I helped" - surely, one member

of that "crew" would have had a camera to document his wonderfully philanthropic efforts that day!

2. That statement also ties him in with first responders

the way he tells it makes it sound like he was a first responder of sorts.

"I brought a big crew of people down and I helped, a lot of other people helped. Those first responders are very brave,”

Gawd, what a jerk

3. I read once ...

I read once (true or not) that Trump showed up a few days latter,
stepped out of his car,
had a photo taken,
and then left.

4. ...and the firefighters said to him:

"SIR, We need to move your fat azz out of here."

There's always a "Sir" in his recountings.

With one of his many thrilling narcissistic tales...

5. Reminds me of that time Trump saw a "pimp" beating a woman up on the street.

He ordered the limo driver to stop, even though the driver objected.

Then Trump jumped out of the limo, confronted the "pimp", backed him down, then took the poor woman into his limo and gave her a ride home.

The driver was in awe, couldn't believe that his boss was so fearless.

Another "true story" from Trump.

6. So that's how he met Melania

9. pretty sure...

...the imaginary woman in the story was safer with the pimp than in the back of Trump's limo.
