On 9/11, Trump Bragged About His Building Now Being the Tallest in Lower Manhattan.

Donald Trump’s Brag That He Owned The Tallest Building After 9/11 Wasn’t Even True

70 Pine Street, just a block away, is taller.

As 3,000 People Were Dying, Trump Bragged About How 9/11 Attacks Were Good For Him.

Yet another example of Trump’s stunning lack of humanity regarding 9/11 is the New York Daily News’ exclusive story that Trump claim that he used $150,000 in 9/11 government money to help people is “unfounded.”

That money was designated for small businesses to help them recover after 9/11.

Here’s the money quote from Trump in response to attacks in April of this year that he took money meant for small businesses, “It was probably a reimbursement for the fact that I allowed people, for many months, to stay in the building, use the building and store things in the building. I was happy to do it and to this day I am still being thanked for the many people I helped. The value of what I did was far greater than the money talked about, much of which was sent automatically to building owners in the area.

”So… not such a small business, but also, not used to help people it turns out.

The News obtained documents that revealed the truth.

Trump used those funds for “rent loss,” “cleanup” and “repair”, even though he also stated that his building wasn’t impacted by “what happened” to the World Trade Center, though the News notes he said this before businesses were shut down in the aftermath.

But Trump did not use the funds to help people.

Even on 9/11, before the smoke had cleared, Trump was bragging about his building now being the tallest. And after the smoke cleared, Trump found more ways to make 9/11 good for him, by profiting off of the government’s attempt to help small business owners recover from 9/11 and then misleading the public by claiming he took the money to help people.
