I wish he went down there the day after. Nearly everyone who was there the day after has died or is living with cancer. One of this administration's first moves, through DOGE, was to dismantle the fund congress authorized to compensate and provide free health care for the folks that were affected.

He also does stolen valor repeatedly. Especially when he implies he served by showing his picture from when he got sent to a military reform school.

No the uniform was for a school for troubled kids he was forced to go attend by the his parents after he attacked a teacher at the private high school Trump was attendtion.
They had them marching and drilling strutting around in pseudo-military uniforms .
Trump was an emotionally disturbed kid but the school really had nothing to do with the real miliiatry.
At age 13, Donald Trump’s father, Fred Trump, sent him to the New York Military Academy (NYMA), a private boarding school in upstate New York having nothing to do with the military; just promising more control and strict atmosphere.
Trump had been getting into trouble at his previous private school, and he was caught carrying a switchblade and was bullying other kids and attacking teachers.
NYMA used military-style uniforms, ranks, drills, inspections, and a strict daily schedule.
It was a private school, but not in any way a. real a branch of the U.S. military, and students were cadets, not soldiers. It was for spoiled troubled kinds from rich families.
Trump attended from 1959 to 1964 and eventually became a senior cadet leader -- you either moved forward or leaved so there was no other choice..
The main disagreement concerns how Trump behaved as a cadet leader.
One former cadet, Thomas D. Jones, recalled Trump as aggressive and said Trump had been involved in confrontations with other cadets. Jones also described an incident involving Trump's discipline of younger cadets.
One important disputed incident
The article in the Washington Post discusses an incident involving hazing. Some former cadets said Trump was involved in or responsible for harsh treatment of younger cadets.
One example: From Trump's roommate Ted Levine, who said Trump became physically aggressive during arguments like one over a poorly made bed and Trump tried to push him thru a second-floor window. Two cadets reportedly had to intervene to save Levine's life. Levine was about a foot shorter than Trump but it did not deter Trump from trying to force out out the window.
The distinction is important because attending NYMA was not any form of military service. Trump later received repeated draft deferments during the Vietnam War and did not serve in the U.S. military due to a doctor's note and the. lastest of bone spurs..

He is going to create jobs. Very specific ones. Psychological will have sections of people specializing in tds. History professors will study the time lines and repercussions. Economics and stasticians will glory on the amount of data available to them. Lawyers and professors will fight for centuries over the legality of what is happening now. And everyone still ask how did this happen? So yeah he has his legacy it just won't look the way he envisioned.

He's been telling people that he's a businessman, that he knows how to run hotels and casinos, and can sell you anything, then tells every interviewer that he's a billionaire worth 10 billionaire dollars. I can't get over the fact that he scammed the IRS of taxes he owed.

This bothers me the most pre - presidential win. How stupid is the IRS. They go after small hardworking upper middle class people who a lot of the time are innocent but cant go after the big fish that would give them millions of missing money.

Video shows Trump near Ground Zero giving interviews, not clearing rubble or helping with recovery.
He later claimed he had 100+ men working there and personally helped clear debris, but fact-checkers found no evidence supporting those claims. A retired FDNY battalion chief who was there said he had no knowledge of Trump or his employees being at the site.
Trump was near Ground Zero. There’s no documented evidence that he participated in the rescue or recovery effort.

Trump showed up at ground zero a week later. He sat in his limo doing an interview with German television.

u/sam56778 26d ago
And yet he wonders why he was snubbed for the 25th anniversary of 9/11. All he wants to do is turn the remembrance of the victims into a political circus of self aggrandizement. What a pathetic loser.

Wow, I had no idea that the claim that his building was the tallest after the towers fell was also bullshit. Although it makes sense given his track record

He was in a plane with a bunch of models, running away from NYC in case there were more attacks!
This British model told the story on the talk show not too long ago! She was living in a model house in New York at the time and they were all trying to get out of the city.
She ended up not making it on the plane because she was a POC apparently. Later she was glad as she heard the girls were pressured? I forgot the whole story.

Trump working “long and hard”? I suspect that could only be said truthfully if he was on Epstein island.

Everything below 42nd street was closed off. People who lived in the area couldn't even get back to their apartments. Any random people just wandering around down there was just going to disrupt 1st responders.

Now he’s claiming he was in the rubble and two firefighters pulled him out.
There is no low that is too low for this abomination.

As president he signed long-sought legislation to permanently fund compensation for 9/11 first responders, a concrete act of assistance decades later.

First it I was in Jersey City and the Arabs were cheering, now it’s I went down to Ground Zero. You can’t be in Jersey City and Manhattan at the same time. Pick a lie and stick to it already
