As one who spent 9/12 participating in a mass effort to buy supplies for 1st responders and ferry them down to Ground Zero checkpoints this is bullshit

@realDonaldTrump can't produce anyone who can testify to his doing anything, except bragging he now had tallest building in NYC
@realDonaldTrump What Trump is doing should rightfully be called a version of stolen valor.
@realDonaldTrump It's not like it was possible to get through those checkpoints unless you were a first responder or some members of the press.

Even if Trump had, he'd have made damn sure everyone knew at the time.

Besides, he's clearly a coward. And squeamish. This was not the place for that
@realDonaldTrump Mayor Rudy Giuliani to ordered everyone south of Canal to evacuate, if they hadn't already. Everything south of 14th was closed to vehicle & subway traffic. Residents of TWC area weren't allowed back for days. There were police and soldiers enforcing this.
@realDonaldTrump Lots of ordinary people did try and help. They bought supplies for workers and search dogs. They brought food and flowers to police and fire stations. They took in those who were homeless.

Trump did none of these things. Nor used his power and money in any meaningful way.
@realDonaldTrump Trump is a disgusting liar about many things. But to lie about this, on this day, from a podium with the presidential seal, in front of first responders, victims and their families, it's really unspeakably terrible.
@realDonaldTrump My local firehouse, Squad 1, lost 12 men that day. 343 firefighters died.

Trump dishonors them and everybody else who was lost by this outrageous lie.
@realDonaldTrump If you want to hear some truth about what happened on 9/11, @DavidCornDC talks to @vermontgmg about some of the heartbreaking stories of teachers, first responders, airline workers, and Pentagon officials on this ep of @MoJoPod: apple.co/2kH890z
