Donald Trumps bizarre quotes about 9/11 before becoming president
On the day of the 9/11 attacks, Donald Trump claimed that the destruction of the World Trade Center meant that one of his buildings was now the tallest in lower Manhattan. His bragging was not only tasteless, it was untrue.
Despite claiming he knew hundreds of victims of the attack, Trump never named or expressed condolences for any of them. However, years later, Trump did tweet, I would like to extend my best wishes to all, even the haters and losers, on this special date, September 11th.
It may be a special date, but Trump has bragged he has since gotten better ratings than any of the broadcasts about the tragedy that day.
And, in the aftermath of the 2001 terror attack, Trump made not a single charitable donation that can be verified to any of the not-for-profit groups that provided aid to survivors, rescue workers, or the families of cops and firemen who died trying to save others, However, Trump did take $150,000 in federal aid for economic damages from a disaster that occured one mile away from any of his buildings.
