You're right, Chelsea. It's not the first time Trump's shamefully exploited the 9-11 attacks
Chelsea Clinton? @ChelseaClinton 5h5 hours agoTrump repeatedly lies. What's more viscerally upsetting? His bragging toward the end about his higher TV ratings than after the 9/11 attacks
excerpt from transcript of Oval Office interview Friday with President Donald Trump by AP White House Correspondent Julie Pace:
TRUMP: ...I have, seem to get very high ratings. I definitely. You know Chris Wallace had 9.2 million people, it's the highest in the history of the show. I have all the ratings for all those morning shows. When I go, they go double, triple. Chris Wallace, look back during the Army-Navy football game, I did his show that morning.
AP: I remember, right.
TRUMP: It had 9.2 million people. It's the highest they've ever had. On any, on air, (CBS "Face the Nation" host John) Dickerson had 5.2 million people. It's the highest for "Face the Nation" or as I call it, "Deface the Nation." It's the highest for "Deface the Nation" since the World Trade Center. Since the World Trade Center came down. It's a tremendous advantage.

Glad Chelsea is calling him out. It's too bad the father of your one time friend, is so heinous, that you're compelled to shine the light on his ugly face.
