Donald Trump claims that "thousands" of people in New Jersey were "cheering" amid the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on US soil.
In an interview on ABC's "This Week" on Sunday, Trump doubled down on his assertion that he saw people in New Jersey — where the real-estate mogul claims there are "large Arab populations" — cheering as the World Trade Center came down.
"There were people that were cheering on the other side of New Jersey, where you have large Arab populations. They were cheering as the World Trade Center came down," Trump said on Sunday. "I know it might be not politically correct for you to talk about it, but there were people cheering as that building came down — as those buildings came down. And that tells you something. It was well-covered at the time."
Well if you watched cable news yesterday you saw this "fact" refuted multiple times, by multiple sources:
Despite Trump's insistence that he saw such celebrations, political fact-checkers across the board have found little to no evidence of any public celebrations after the attacks.
PolitiFact noted that there were several media reports of police inquiries into individuals who were suspected of celebrating the attacks in Jersey City and nearby Paterson, but there is no evidence that these investigations revealed any actual celebrations or resulted in any convictions.
"This defies basic logic," PolitiFact's Lauren Carroll wrote in a "Pants on Fire" ruling.
When I first heard the story I immediately went to Snopes where conspiracy theories and bullshit lies are usually laid to rest.
Snopes did a deep dive, and really tried to get to the source of Trump's misinformation, which seemed to stem from early rumors after the towers fell, that turned out to be false.
However not only does Trump seem impervious to facts, he is also demanded in apology from those calling him out on his BS.

You might notice that the portion which is quoted in the tweet above says the words "allegedly." That is because their was nothing to the allegations.At this point I think we have to take notice of the fact that according to polling the three top contenders for the GOP nomination, Trump, Carson, and Cruz, are all habitual liars who seem to have a specific allergy to facts.
Not exactly good news for the Republican party.

ReplyDeleteTHIS is what was reported but conveniently ignored by most of the US media (although covered elsewhere). What was Israel's role in getting the US totally riled up against the Arab world so we would start a war over there?
But Trump of course, willfully misconstrues it and exaggerates to serve his purposes.
I, too, definitely recall seeing video on the news of people cheering the 9/11 attacks, but those people were on the West Bank in the occupied territories in Palestine, not the west bank of the Hudson.
ReplyDeleteTrump is an insecure little man who thinks because he's got a lot of money that he's somehow better than everybody else. By himself he's just pathetic and obnoxious. What's really scary is how many people seem to think that racism, unabashed nastiness and complete lack of empathy for one's fellow human beings somehow are suitable qualifications for the presidency of the United States.
What u said.
DeleteI think Trump was *in* New Jersey when he saw that video from the West Bank of Palestine.
DeleteColbert skewered him tonight.
Not only exposing Trump's lie but also his blowhard balloon, as in "I have the best memory ever" but he can't remember where he saw the video.
I love Colbert.
Democrats could not be doing better if they had actually planted these characters.
ReplyDeleteTrump is clearly a Democratic operative. Is there a better explanation?

ReplyDelete"Steve, thank you very much for speaking to this. I've since read the updated portion of the earlier unpleasantness, and found several additional posts have been made that are factually false, and seem to just escalate and expand the problem.
So since I don't consider that to be in keeping with your call for being nice, and I don't have the time or inclination to respond, I will be making an update post on VG and then take a break from c4p for a little while.
I know you're busy, too, and I don't presume to tell you what to do, but I do think you need to read that portion of the thread carefully, and look at all the wild misdirects and outright false statements and accusations being slung around in reaction to a belief expressed by a regular and respected poster, regardless of whether you agree with her suspicions or not. Some of the reactions are disproportionate and to a troubling degree inappropriate, imo, when judged by the site's comment policy."
Since that post she has commented over 100 times more in five days. So her break from c4P would have been 2 hours tops
What does this have to do with Trump's tweet lies?

It was wonderful, really! He even sent the oxygen machine back to the home health folks because he is so well rested, and does not have any need for it anymore. The Boss retired in September from a very demanding, emotionally draining job and the two of them are spending their days restoring their energy and taking care of one another.
ReplyDeleteMr. Krusty Korn sent them a turkey that he had smoked himself in applewood. They just couldn't stop talking about how delicious it is. We decided to plan a C4P party at my house in the spring, and we will beg and plead Mr. Krusty to bring us one of his turkeys and join the party. All are welcome! Happy Thanksgiving!"
VG aka "Sailor" = VG/babydaddy
So is VG Sarah Palin? Interesting that he went offline while she was out debuting her book. Also, if you need CPAP, you don't suddenly become rested and not need it anymore. VG is a sock puppet or a lying catfish

If VG is real, sounds like Bristol found herself a really old sugar Daddy and made sure she had a legal hold on his estate through little Sailor girl.
DeleteAll I'm sayin' is VG better have DNA done before he amends his will.
I heard Trump make the gigantic leap from a few guys "tailgating & partying" after 9/11 to thousands and thousands of Muslims celebrating. His reasoning? Tailgating = Football, football = stadiums filled with thousands of people. Therefore, a few people standing by their car celebrating morphs into thousands and thousands of people. Anyone who believes this lying asshole is incredibly gullible.
ReplyDeleteAnd Donald Trump is the guy who is threatening legal action against the competition that lies about him. Every other word that comes out of his mouth is a lie. He is truly despicable.
ReplyDeleteBeaglemom
Muslims Weren't Cheering On 9/11, Mr. Trump. They Were Grieving For Their Loved Ones.
ReplyDeletePerhaps Donald Trump has forgotten that 60 Muslims were killed in the terror attacks.
About 60 Muslims were killed in the 9/11 attacks. Tariq is among hundreds of Muslim-Americans who, for days and months afterwards, desperately tried to find their loved ones to no avail, feeling a mix of fear, grief, hopelessness and horror.

@12:41 PM Wow, if that is insider information then Sarah Palin is scrambling to find out who you are.
ReplyDeleteThey never learn...
ReplyDeleteThe Learning Channel apparently learned nothing in the wake of Josh Duggar’s child molestation scandal, and fans are giving them hell on Facebook about it.
Months after canceling 19 Kids and Counting due to the revelation that Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar covered up their son Josh’s molestation of four of his sisters as a teenager, the family and TLC have decided to exploit Jill and Jessa Duggar along with Josh’s wife Anna in a new reality show called Counting On.
And predictably, people are not exactly happy to hear that the Duggars are being put back on television.

Honestly, my kids reasoned like that in pre-school. They outgrew it as they developed critical thinking skills and didn't turn into narcissistic blowhards.
I'm reading a great book that deals with PSYCHOPATHS as its main subject...firstly distinguishing the word from PSYCHOTICS by explaining that the former, is a term used on what seems like completely normal people, but who have no conscience whatsoever.
ReplyDeleteThey are most easily identified by being caught in lies. Showing no remorse for having been exposed, they usually pile on yet another lie, bigger than the first, to try to dodge detection.
Since reading this, I've watched with wonder, as the Republican candidate field, tells whopper after whopper, never apologizing or acting ashamed--just digging down for a bigger form of deceit.
It really is scary, as the LAST type of individual we want with a finger on "the button" is one lacking any form of personal responsibility; no sense of shame; assuming that people who do have a conscience are stupid and weak.
I thought it was sociopaths that had no conscience and no remorse.
DeleteSociopaths lack a conscience also. Psychopaths will say it is someone else thinking, planning and saying what they say, think, do and plot. When caught in lies they lie more relying on character assassination.
DeleteIf you repeat what they said about someone they lie saying you make things up, you want to destroy people, you enjoy lying and hurting others to you have mental illnesses. Also lie it is you who puts words in other people's mouths.
They know who I am but haven't been able to do anything about it yet. We LOVE our insider tracks to info at the Paylin compound and nobody is going to stop our little, small exposes.
ReplyDeleteTrump said that he can't remember where he saw the video of American Muslims cheering on 9/11, but he knows that he saw it because he has the greatest memory in the world. Well, almost, except for the part about remembering the video where he, the only American, saw the cheers.
ReplyDeleteif trump's memory was so good he would not forget where he saw the video
DeleteI bet he saw the actual 9/11 cheering from his balcony. He just doesn't want to admit it. He has the greatest memory and the greatest eyes. He is modest and doesn't want to give away how much he can see.
DeleteLOL. That's what Stephen Colbert said tonight.
DeleteWell it's so obvious - the video that Trump saw is located with the video Carly Fiorina saw. You have to have the special Republican eyeglasses to actually see this stuff though.
ReplyDeleteDidn't Ben Carson see it too?
DeleteSo the mags know the baby is born but they will conspire with the fraud and go along with a made up date? Serious.
ReplyDeleteWhere is the Crackhead chick, Shalah, Sarah's pro photographer.
Yep, I remember it vividly, I was sitting on a bench reading "I married a mail order Slovakian Goat Milker" when all these Arabs stood and cheered. Many Many Arabs, not just one or two, it was disgusting. I saw them myself.
ReplyDeleteBullshit, Donald. Paterson, Jersey City and many surrounding towns are examples of the melting pot, and no one gives anyone any grief. Jews, Arabs, Italians, Portuguese, Spanish, African Americans are living side by side. Why LIE? You're running to serve all people, not just lillywhite old teaparty fartz. and being a divider doesn't get you anywhere..... but carry on, MR "Art of the Deal" I'll give you four goats for your daughter, only after I have her teeth checked. Oh wait, if she wasn't your daughter, you'd be on that like white on rice.
Actually, Trump is NOT 'running to serve all people'.
DeleteHe's running to serve himself.
Well Willow was clearly pregnant in the cafe scenes when she was serving her BF Andy coffee in the Reindeer Games episode of Lifes a Tripp. Based on events they were referencing that would be winter 2011-2012 so the child is going on 4 yo. If you capture stills from that episode/scene he is CLEARLY pregnant. Any kids beyond that? The boy in the car seemed a little older.
ReplyDeleteWas Ben Carson standing right next to him? As witness?
ReplyDeleteWhy is it when the right wing nutjobs are dropping in the polls, they rev up the hate rhetoric. Do they really think this will get them MORE votes? Or just LOUDER votes from their skin head worshipers?
Wasn't Trump endorsed by The Klan?
I may be mixed up about this but wasn't Willow's upstairs lover the son of one of Sarah's paid for friends?
ReplyDeleteThis is fact. There would be no Donald Trump as we know him had it not been for Alaska. Not only did Alaska give us the Heath Palins, it was core to bringing The Donald into existence.

It would be nice if someone outside the family were writing a nice exposé on ALL of the dirt and it was ready to go when it hits the fan.
Trump can afford the best equipment and highest power. He doesn't remember where he saw a video. Trump would not reveal if he had spy equipment and some yuuuge monster telescope on a watchtower or any other types of spy equipment. Putin could have hooked him up.
ReplyDeletehttp://sen.com/news/persona-3-spy-satellite-lifts-off
So, no he is not telling where or how he saw 1,000s celebrating. He is also not telling what day it was. He can utilize his selective memory and "Wallah, I'm telling the truth." He calls it "truthful hyperbole".
Trump can make up or manipulate anything and anyway he wants. Since it is his "truthful hyperbole" he believes it is not a lie. I can believe he does have some killer spy equipment. He has seen 1,000s party and celebrate. He wants to believe it was Muslims and on 9/11, he believes his own "truthful hyperbole" crap.
I also believe he is a sick deranged paranoid rich guy with a self serving agenda. Too mentally ill to be a candidate in a Republican campaign, but he is and there are many others that want to believe him and hear his "truthful hyperbole".
'Truthful hyperbole'. "I play to people's fantasies," Trump wrote in the book. "I call it truthful hyperbole. It's an innocent form of exaggeration—and a very effective form of promotion."
