*Yawn* Even more instances where Trump lied about 9/11. But who cares anymore.

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/09/14/hundreds-more-9-11-questions-that-donald-trump-won-t-answer.html

Trump says he lost hundreds of friends on 9/11. Can't name a single one of them.

Nobody remembers Trump showing up at a 9/11-funeral.

Trump says he employed hundreds of workers for the cleanup. Won't say whether they became sick from the bad air and whether he helped them.

Trump tweeted: “Let’s all take a moment to remember all the heroes from a very tragic day that we cannot let happen again. 9/11/2015.”
Despite this, he didn't support the extension of the James Zadroga Act (healthcare for 9/11-responders). And there is no evidence that Trump donated to the victims of 9/11, except that Giuliani says he did so anonymously.

Trump DID apply for and receive $150,000 out of a 9/11-fund meant to help small businesses. He cited “rent loss,” “cleanup,” and “repair”.
On 9/13/2001 he said in an interview that his properties had not been damaged.
Trump later claimed that these $150,000 were a reimbursement for him allowing other people to use his property in the wake of 9/11 free-of-charge.

Trump, who loves to voice his opinion and outrage and who claims to be a big fan of police, firefighters and construction-workers, had no comment when it was revealed in 2003 that the government knew all along that the air around the WTC-site was toxic.
He had not a single word on that topic.
Hillary Clinton did have a few words.
