Everything always has to be about him, and he'll fabricate stories (like this one) to make that happen.
“I will never forget. Two firemen, we thought [the US Steel Building] was coming down on top of us and two firemen, big strong guys — and I’m not the smallest guy in the world — they grabbed me under the arms and said, ‘Gotta get out of here,’ and they literally lifted me up.”
"This is not easy to do. I’m big. They lifted me up, and they started running with me. I said, ‘Fellas, I can run myself.’ But they were amazing, but they thought it was coming down. It didn’t come down.”
I like this reaction from a former Republican strategist: "Don't allow Trump to sully the 9/11 tragedy with his sick fantasies."
Thousands of people died that day but, within hours of the collapse of the Twin Towers, Trump was bragging that his 40 Wall Street building was now the tallest in Lower Manhattan. That's what was foremost in his mind.
Complete POS. The stain he's left on the country will last for years, but hopefully things begin to change with the November elections.
