"I was down there also, but I'm not considering myself a first responder," Trump said. "But I was down there. I spent a lot of time down there with you."

Thus spoke the con artist today when real responders to the 9/11 attacks were nearby when he signed a bill to permanently fund the 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund. The same bill Republican Mitch McConnell held up and even asked why it needed the money.

Needless to say, the lies keep a comin. What was the con artist doing on 9/11? He was on WWOR talking to Alan Marcus about the attacks:

"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."​

A few days later, the con artist did an interview with a German news station a few blocks away from ground zero:

"The sight of Donald Trump, every hair in place and impeccably dressed in a black suit, pressed white shirt and red tie, walking into the plaza with his cellular phone to his ear.

"'No, no. The building's gone,' he says into the phone."​

In 2016, during a speech in Buffalo, the con artist had this to say about his magnificent role in cleaning up:

"Everyone who helped clear the rubble -- and I was there, and I watched, and I helped a little bit -- but I want to tell you: Those people were amazing," Trump said in a speech in Buffalo in 2016. "Clearing the rubble. Trying to find additional lives. You didn't know what was going to come down on all of us -- and they handled it."​

Still further, the con artist claimed he helped pay for several hundred workers to help clean up the wreckage. Alas, like his fake wealth, no records exist of him every paying a single penny toward the clean up.

But what have we come to expect from the most corrupt, incompetent, and least honest so-called president we've ever had? It's all about him. No matter how little he may be.

‘First responder to the Titanic’: Internet mocks Trump’s 9/11 lies with #LostTrumpHistory meme

President Donald Trump on Monday said that he spent “a lot of time with” first responders after the 9/11 terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center, despite the fact that there is no evidence to back up his claim.

In response to Trump’s blatant revision of history, many Twitter users started posting memes about “Lost Trump” history in which they similarly injected the president into historical events at which he was not present.

He took the mold off if his bone spurs and developed it into Penicillin. He’s amazing.

DT was the 5th Beatle, But he didn’t stick around because he was so good he didn’t wanna upstage everyone else. #LostTrumpHistory

Sliced bread. I invented that. Many people don't know this. But before me it was just bread#losttrumphistory

:D
 
Trump has been caught lying many times. This is just one more example of how you can't trust anything he says.
 
According to the words out of his own mouth, Trump was
in three different locations, all at the same exact time.

He was at the Trump Tower location, advertising Trump Tower,
and telling lies. He had a lawyer lie for him, in 2018.

Journalists noticed.

‘And now it’s the tallest’: Trump, in otherwise somber 9/11
interview, couldn’t help touting one of his buildings

“He wasn’t looking out the window of the Empire
State Building,” Marcus told The Post of Trump’s
claim he could see the World Trade Center from
Trump Tower.

(George Ross, a longtime attorney for Trump, supported
Trump’s statement to Politico in 2016 that he saw the
World Trade Center from his Trump Tower office.)

The WWOR interview with Trump, used, in part,
to fill time, almost did not happen.

With many news stations across New York having transmitter facilities
located at the World Trade Center, local outlets initially had a hard time
getting on air. That was not the case for WWOR, Marcus said, which
had an antenna located in Alpine, New Jersey, that allowed them to
broadcast immediately.

WWOR dropped its local news coverage in 2013.

"Donald Trump is on the line."

It was the afternoon of Sept. 11, 2001, at WWOR's station
in Secaucus, New Jersey, and Rolland Smith, the lead anchor
for the news outlet's coverage of the day, was apologizing for
the channel's technical difficulties. The crushing pictures and
videos of airplanes hurtling into the World Trade Center were
seemingly on a loop for hours. That's when Brenda Blackmon,
the co-anchor of the coverage, interjected to let her colleague
know that Trump, the real estate mogul with well-documented
ties to Lower Manhattan, was on the phone.

Instead of thinking about the brevity of Trump's 10-minute spot,
Blackmon, who said she was with the station for 27 years,
remembers working for days on end and going down to
Ground Zero. Blackmon said she kept every newspaper
and magazine she could find from that month in a box that
she believes she still has today.

"I had kind of forgotten about [the interview] because
there were so many other things from that day," said
Blackmon, founder of The Kelly Fund for Lupus, a
nonprofit founded after her daughter was diagnosed
with the disease. "I had lunch with Alan Marcus recently
and we talked about [the interview], and I said,
Oh my God, I forgot about that.' He said,
'How could you forget about that?' I said,
'I guess it was just the day."

The same goes for Marcus, who prefers to remember the station's
comprehensive coverage of thousands of people supporting and
the first responders and volunteers in the days, weeks and months
that followed rather than the Trump segment.
