http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/02/17/donald-trump-s-hundreds-of-9-11-lies.htmlBy 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.
If he has hundreds of friends, he should be able to tell us about them, said a Port Authority police officer who never talks about how many comrades he lost. If he can tell us about the hundreds of friends he lost, who they were, what kind of person they were, I might have some respect for him.
The PA copwho has sought to learn all he could about every single person who died in addition to the many he personally knewwonders why nobody has seen Trump at the September 11 Memorial and Museum.

but I give him a little leeway on this. I lived and worked in New York on 9/11 and knew people who died in that building.
So he exaggerated with the word "hundreds" but I'm pretty sure he knew of and/or had business connections with some of the people in those financial services firms that had offices in those buildings.

Met only one of them. Sadly, I can only remember the name of the one I met. Mostly knew them through phone conferences.
But I got Trump beat.
