Today when speaking in front of law enforcement officials, Trump said that he “was there” on 9/11.

TRUMP: “When [New York’s finest] gave their lives on 9/11, I was there….”

Trump was in New York…. trying to take advantage of the tragedy to benefit himself.

He bragged that his building had become the tallest in Lower Manhattan…

Washington Post: “On 9/11, Trump noted that he now owned the financial district’s tallest building”

He collected a recovery grant intended to help small businesses hurt by the attack…

New York Daily News: “Donald Trump took advantage of program designed to help small businesses after 9/11”

New York Daily News: “EXCLUSIVE: Donald Trump’s claim he got $150G in post-9/11 state funds for small businesses because he helped people in need is unfounded, docs show”

He spread a conspiracy theory, saying he saw “thousands” of Muslims celebrating on 9/11…

Politifact: “Trump’s recollection of events in New Jersey in the hours after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks flies in the fact of all the evidence we could find.”

He worried about how much the rent would drop in his own skyscraper…

TRUMP: “When you see pictures of people on fire jumping off the building when the World Trade Center was hit, you think: ‘This may be hard to rent.”

He promised to donate $10,000 to the Twin Towers Fund after 9/11, but records show he did no such thing…

New York Daily News: “City Controller Scott Stringer conducted a review of hundreds of pages of previously sealed records … and found that Trump and his charity hadn't donahttp://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/donald-trump-lied-donating-9-11-charities-article-1.2829908ted a dime in the months after 9/11.”

And he used 9/11 as an excuse when requesting leniency from the SEC on a civil fraud investigation…

Wall Street Journal: “The company’s lawyers argued that its cooperation with the SEC’s probe and the distress caused by the terrorist attacks ought to win it some leniency.”
