“He created a fictitious event featuring himself, who did nothing, as the hero of 9/11.”
While Republicans express “offense” at plans for New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani to attend September 11 remembrances this week due to his Muslim faith, President Donald Trump provoked outrage on Tuesday when he told what seems to be a fabricated story about his heroism following the terrorist attack.
Before a crowd that included over 100 first responders, Trump described being at ground zero with a construction crew he said he’d deployed to help with the aftermath of the attack. He described walking beneath the US Steel building, now known as One Liberty Plaza, which was believed to be at risk of collapsing.
“The United States Steel Building was creaking, really creaking, and we thought it was going to fall down. The truth is, it creaked a lot. It creaked. It still creaks, but it never came down,” Trump recalled. “And I’ll never forget two firemen. We thought it was coming down on top of us, and two firemen, big, strong guys—and I’m not the smallest guy in the world—they grabbed me under the arm, said, ‘Got to get out of here!’ And they literally lifted me up.”
“This is not easy to do. I’m big,” Trump continued. “They lifted me up, and they started running with me. I said, ‘Fellas, I can run myself,’ but they were amazing. But they thought it was coming down. It didn’t come down.”
I remember Ronald Reagan mixing up facts with some of his film roles when the dementia struck. I’m sure this is also at least partly Trump losing his grip on reality due to dementia. This man has no business whatsoever in being in charge of a country. He should be in a nursing home.
Well. He should be in prison. But yes.
A grave would be a lot better tbh. No need to keep wasting resources on him.
Graves are for remembering and honoring the fallen. Dump his carcass into the septic tank of the nearest outhouse, where he can fester with a few other nameless turds, utterly forgotten by everyone.
Nah. We need a grave so we can have something to piss on. Shape it like a urinal too!
Body in the septic tank, but we place this on top and it’s drains into the tank
Only downside is you’ll have to get used to squat toilets.
I don’t disagree, but as someone who believes this life is all we get, he deserves to life in his failing brain, confined to a very small room with an uncomfortable bed, metal toilet, and contemplate all the evil he’s done in his life, knowing that he will never set foot outside of that cage ever again.
He should be at the end of a rope.
Traitors hang.
Or they used to, anyway.
Reagan would often recount events in films he was in as though they were real-life experiences, even before the dementia kicked in. He was prone to confabulation, though a less prolific liar than Trump. I think that was due to laziness rather than any matter of principle.
