At 2:35 this Labor Day afternoon, Donald Trump was still on vacation at his private golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey, when he posted a video of himself with the words, “What Donald Trump saw at… Ground Zero hours after 9/11.” The video was actually taken days later, on September 13, when he was blocks away. In the video, he is wearing an immaculate black suit and a crisp white shirt as he told a German news reporter, “I have about 100 men working down here… and we have another 100 coming in a little while.” He continued, “I was just down at Ground Zero. It's a disaster, and I've never seen anything like this.”
Hours after he posted the video on social media, the president’s interview with Trey Gowdy was posted on Fox News. This time, he tells a much different story of those terrible days. He told Gowdy, “And I went down… like the following day. Very quickly afterwards, and we worked long and hard.”
The Loser can’t resist any moment to make himself the center of every important commemorative event. He wasn’t at Ground Zero until days later, he never sent workers to assist the first responders and he didn’t lose 100’s of friends on 9/11. He is a grifter and conman who looks to make a buck off anyone suffering tragic losses and a narcissist who craves being the center of attention. That’s the story in a nutshell.
Trump also has a particular affinity for stuffing his pockets with our hard earned taxpayer dollars. “A grifter, thief, rapist and sociopathic conman.” That’s Trump in a nutshell, and it will one day be a befitting epitaph.
I don’t think they should have taken the sign down, whoever did it did a beautiful tasteful job
Trump is incapable of thinking of anything other than himself and it is really sickening that he wants to make 9/11 about himself. If you ask people it was such a horrendously memorable day they can tell you what they were doing.
I was ironing before going to collect my boys from school when a friend phoned and said put the television on.
It was appalling in USA and UK as many people working in the towers were British too and so far away to be able to get to their loved ones.
The man has no conscience or shame or empathy for those who lost family members in such awful circumstances - I am really glad he will not be at ground zero and would prefer JD Vance not to be there either. It is in memorandum with huge sadness to be attending not just a shoe in.
Yes, Donald is a malignant narcissist. Yes, he lies. But the fact is that he is severely mentally ill. As a country, we have the power of our Constitution to do something about it, yet we are not.
He does not belong in the Oval Office; he belongs in an institution.
Nothing about Donald Trump is true. His existence is true; we see him, he exists. But nothing about who or what he actually is in terms of validated truth, is real.
Nothing about Donald Trump represents truth if you measure what is actually happening as truth.
How bizarre is that. Do we see what we see or not? Do we feel what we feel or not? Is my view of truth just an opinion? Or are there different truths for everyone?
Do I pay for gas at a cost that is real? Do groceries I buy cost more than what it used to? Am I better off than I used to be?
F*ck Trump. Liar. You are the Liar in Charge, because I see what I see, I know what I know, and I know what I see.
So very thankful that he is not allowed to speak at this sad and solemn moment. I am grateful that SOMEONE has denied him this opportunity to speak about himself and undoubtedly bash Democrats! RIP SWEET SOULS OF 9/11
Well, there's no surprise that the Donald makes this coming 25th anniversary about himself. And the fact that he's lying through his teeth. How could he be in two places at once, his apartment in midtown Manhatten or Jersey City? I'm so glad that he won't be at the memorial because he would take the opportunity to make a speech.
A friend and I were actually in NYC that day, staying at a hotel in midtown Manhattan. We were due to leave that day but because the airports were closed we were stuck in the city for another week. I'm sure the commemoration will be televised on Friday and I'll definitely be watching and remembering.
Those of us who will never forget exactly where we were and what we were doing when we saw and heard about 9/11... know otherwise. We saw the truth unfold before our horrified eyes in general . We know Trump is lying. He also tried to lie about it fairly soon after the tragesy..and was soundly called out and exposed. NYC has akways known who and what he is.
Delusional liar thief…pay no attention to him and on September 11 don’t speak or write his name ..anywhere..make the day about the people who DESERVE to be remembered and honored certainly NOT HIM.
On a different note, Heather, thank you for reminding us during this time of uncertainty and anxiety, that caring for our mental health is essential to keep the fight strong. Your positive picture of the day and reflections on your evening walks are beautiful reminders that we must continue to seek moments of peace. Taking care of ourselves helps ensure that we have the strength to keep going. And you sure are a wonderful example of a strong warrior.
1) If Tramp ever did send any of "his men", you can bet they would have been immigrants who worked for him...maybe he would have even offered to pay them all the "back pay" he had withheld from them 2) Tramp HAS no friends 3) At least saying he was donating $10,000 to the fund ("chump" change for Tramp) was much more believable than $10,000,000. 4) Ya gotta LOVE Canada and their sense of humor!!!!!!😂
REALLY??? He applied for, and got, $150K from the fund to rebuild “small businesses,” EVEN THOUGH his building was undamaged?? And then DIDN’T make the $10K donation he “promised”?? So tRumpian! He DESERVES his name over the toilets at the Canadian park!!
I will forever wonder that so many have supported a man who not only lies but constantly changes his lies to appear smarter and greater than anyone on the planet. He claims to be transparent. He is. Transparently stupid. corrupt, and cruel.
He will do what he does and We will give honor and grace to those individuals who are gone on 9/11. I remember exactly what I was doing and the effect it had on me and the country. Like J6, etched in our minds and hearts forever, We will not forget. Thank you Heather for your excellent journalism. You are a blessing.

on a tombstone with the additional inscription 'please wash your hands after urinating'.

And yet some Americans still vote for him! It really beggars belief
He spends all his time claiming unearned valor

We have George Washington, a president who never told a lie and Donald Trump, a president who never told the truth.
trump is an idiot. We never had wide spread problems with elections until he got involved.
