Larrikin, please note that I never said: "No Muslims anywhere celebrated on 9/11". Of course some did, but that is not the subject of this thread.
My question is: where are the thousands of Arabs cheering in New Jersey that TRUMP SAID HE SAW ON TV?
Most would still be living in New York, unless they’ve moved. No doubt they’ve all had five children each since then, and they all vote for the Democrats.
The answer is, in his befuddled head and nowhere else.
No, he was quite clear about what he saw. He doesn’t drink, smoke or take drugs, so it was a clear memory he was describing. The answer is staring you in the face. Take the Howard Stern video I gave you to watch in post
#278. Listen to those callers.
There are hundreds of TV stations in NY City, both over the air and cable. Putting together what I’ve learned, I think Trump was flicking through the many channels looking for more info on the situation (as you would in NY at the time). He came across a reporter standing in front of a market on the other side on New Jersey, where there were large Arab populations. Just then one of the buildings collapsed and the crowd would let out a great cheer, which would die down ten or 15 seconds later. The reporter would have expressed surprise and made some comments, but the editor back at the station would quickly cross to a different reporter somewhere else. Trump would have stood up and shouted, “What the hell?” as he tried to find another channel with the same crowd, to no avail.
Whatever Trump saw, he believed it was thousands of Arabs cheering. When he saw other reports (like the Fox one I showed you), and heard Stern’s callers, and other stuff, he would have been vindicated about his vision, and described it with gusto.
Once again, regardless of what you think of Trump, he believes his account of what he saw and thus it is not a lie. You cannot truthfully call it a lie, because once again, you cannot read Trump’s mind.
