As 3,000 People Were Dying, Trump Bragged About How 9/11 Attacks Were Good For Him

He is disgusting excuse for a human being!

Here’s what your GOP nominee had to say during a 2001 live phone interview with WWOR on 9/11, on the very day of the terrorist attack, unearthed by Michael Kruse at Politico Magazine:

“40 Wall Street actually was the second-tallest building in downtown Manhattan, and it was actually, before the World Trade Center, was the tallest—and then, when they built the World Trade Center, it became known as the second-tallest. And now it’s the tallest.”
...
Yet another example of Trump’s stunning lack of humanity regarding 9/11 is the New York Daily News’ exclusive story that Trump claim that he used $150,000 in 9/11 government money to help people is “unfounded.”
...
The News obtained documents that revealed the truth. Trump used those funds for “rent loss,” “cleanup” and “repair”, even though he also stated that his building wasn’t impacted by “what happened” to the World Trade Center, though the News notes he said this before businesses were shut down in the aftermath.

But Trump did not use the funds to help people.
