This Article is from 2016 during the Primary Campaign. but the questions have never been answered and with his attacks on ilhan omar over 9/11 it should be brought up again (the media should have demanded answers back then).
<Two days after Donald Trump claimed that he lost hundreds of friends at the World Trade Center as a result of the 9/11 attack, his campaign continued to ignore a Daily Beast request that he name even one.
By his math, Trump is trying to tell us that at least one in 10 of the 2,983 who died on 9/11 were his friends.
The cop also wonders why nobody seems to recall seeing Trump at the seemingly endless funerals that followed the attack. The FDNY, which had lost 343 members, had so many funerals and memorials in those dark days that the city asked citizens to attend them to fill the churches.
Trump was also on record saying that none of his properties were damaged in the attack.
But, as the New York Daily News has reported, Trump accepted a $150,000 federal grant that was part of a program meant to assist small businesses affected by 9/11.>

During his first year he told an average of 4 lies per day. He is now telling an average of 22 lies a day. With all the chaos so much is being missed.

Just recently, he lied about his dad being born in a "beautiful town" in Germany. I mean, why even? That would make both of his parents immigrants and him an "anchor baby".

(63,221 posts)He only saw 9/11 as another chance to get publicity for himself.
First of all, he had no friends. Ever. Let alone any who perished during 9/11. He is such a disgusting opportunist.
