A brief history of Trump making 9/11 about himself

#neverforget #AmericaNeedsBiden #911remembered

washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/…
A trip down memory lane, if you like: Trump justifies holding a rally in Illinois after an attack on a synagogue in Pittsburgh by telling a lie about the World Trade Center, NYSE, and 9/11.

#neverforget #AmericaNeedsBiden #911remembered #911anniversary

I'll never forget this story of Canadian friendship on 9/11.

Gander, population 10k, opened their tiny airport to hundreds of grounded flights and took care of 7k Americans on 9/11.

And here's Trump on the campaign trail talking about literally clearing rubble at ground zero after #september11

(I know it's shocking but...this is a lie.)
#neverforget #AmericaNeedsBiden #911remembered #911anniversary

And here, Trump says he was down at World Trade Center/Ground Zero with first responders.

PS: This, too, is a lie. In fact, he did a photo op down there.

Once.

Do you remember who *was* at the World Trade Center/Ground Zero on 9/11?

That's right. The email lady.

#neverforget #AmericaNeedsBiden #911remembered #911anniversary

Here's Trump talking *on 9/11*, while the towers were literally still falling down, about how his building is now the tallest one in Manhattan.

#neverforget #AmericaNeedsBiden #911remembered #911anniversary

And here's Trump lying about how he saw "thousands and thousands of people" (he means Muslims), CHEERING on #September11 while watching the #twintowers at the World Trade Center fall.

#neverforget #AmericaNeedsBiden #911remembered #911anniversary

"We have 100 men down here..."

Has anyone ever spoken with *any* of the "men" Trump is referring to here? No? Because they don't exist.

Also, stepping out of a limo 1/2 mile away from ground zero and giving an interview doesn't count as "helping".

I count 4 scandals that broke just today that would kill any other Presidency, assuming the Republicans weren't sycophantic asslickers:

1) Trump knew coronavirus was "5x more deadly than the flu"

#TrumpKnew #TrumpLiedPeopleDied
2) US Brian Murphy says Chad Wolf told him to stop providing intelligence analysis on the threat of Russian interference in the 2020 elections because it “made the President look bad"

This motherfucker.

200,000 people are dead because of this lying motherfucker.

In early February, Trump told Woodward he knew how deadly the virus was, and in March, admitted he kept that knowledge hidden from the public.

ON TAPE.

I am shaking with anger.

Trump to Bob Woodward: "It goes through the air...But the air, you just breathe the air and that's how it's passed. And so that's a very tricky one. That's a very delicate one. It's also more deadly than even your strenuous flus."
By March 19, when Trump told Bob Woodward he was purposely downplaying the danger...he also acknowledged the threat to young people. "Just today and yesterday, some startling facts came out. It's not just old, older. Young people too, plenty of young people," Trump said.

I thought that not having an audience would make all the late night shows worse, but John Oliver's "Last Week Tonight" has only gotten better.

This video of Kenosha sheriff David Beth has made the rounds, but Oliver really puts them into context here.
Can we #FireDavidBeth trending?

Kenosha Sheriff David Beth said that black men who committed theft should be "warehoused" in prisons until they died and not allowed to procreate.

And Trump is meeting with law enforcement in Kenosha today.

1/ Civil war & chaos are what Trump wants.

Patriot Prayer, Qanon, and Boogaloo Boys are his weapons.

He just points them in the direction he wants to shoot and then blames the people he's shooting at for getting hurt or fighting back. #TrumpRiots #sundaymorning #sundaythoughts
2/ I know it's your right to protest.
I know we aren't anywhere near justice for BIPOC.
I know that 100% of the daylight protests & 99% of the nighttime protests are peaceful.
But there has to be a better way to do this that doesn't give Trump the fuel he needs to get re-elected.
3/ I don't know what that is.
I don't have all of the answers.

All I know is that Trump's strategy is this:

foment violence
appeal to "suburban housewives"
hold rallies without social distancing or masks to indicate that the coronavirus is over

This is Kristi Noem, governor of South Dakota.

You might know her from such hits as ignoring a massive COVID-19 outbreak at a meat packing plant in her state and encouraging a super spreader event when bikers to converged at Sturgis. #TrumpChaos

Remember back when Dan Crenshaw was a never Trumper?

“On the one hand you have idiots like Trump, and on the other you have equally ignorant liberals who refuse to acknowledge a problem at all,” Crenshaw added. “The rest of us in the middle are getting sick of it.”
#TrumpChaos
Marsha Blackburn says that the Democrats want to lock everyone in their homes just like the "Communist Chinese" do, and I'm not 100% sure, but I don't *think* the Chinese do that.

Fear mongering is all they have left, you guys.

Ronna Romney: "Donald Trump has incredible respect for the military"

LOL

Really?

How many days has it been since Trump learned about the US soldiers that Putin put bounties out on?

#TrumpChaos #RNCconvention2020 #rncfactcheck #BountiesForKillingUSTroops
Yes, Trump cares *so much* for the military that he fucked them over by slowing down the mail so they can't get their meds.

Thanks, Trump.

“[Trump] is going to talk to you about law and order. Virtually everyone who worked for his campaign has been convicted of a crime or is under indictment, myself included. You don’t have to like me but please listen to me.”
