    Modest, as always, Trump felt that he owed it to the American people to finally come clean about his true, heroic activities on 9/11.

    The firefighters can’t corroborate the story because they both died of exhaustion moments later.

    As much as he fantasizes about two hot steamy men carrying him away, that is a total lie. I’ve seen 600 Pound Life-- it’d take like four muscular men to carry his fat ass.

      i think it takes more than 4 people to carry a 600lb person, probably 6-10 strapping firemen.

    Well that’s an old lie he was caught out on years ago. He was no where near ground zero.

    He did do an interview, if which he noted that the destruction of the Twin Towers meant his property at 40 Wall Street was now the tallest building in downtown Manhattan. No remorse for the thousands who died.

    So you voted for him, twice.

      And, since it was Trump talking, of course that was a lie.

            He did an undergrad in business, and got in because his father made a big donation to Wharton.

            He’s always tried to make it sound like he was in the Wharton MBA program but he didn’t. And he got passing grades but those were most likely gentleman’s C’s because of the donation.

          Bubba looks like he got that fuckboy dick. Not the fuckboi dick, the fuckboy dick. The one that’s the “best friend” of that one woman/girl

          That no matter what no matter how bad he is, they will always be fucking eventually.

          That dick left a mark on Trump, and he’s chased that dragon ever since.

    Why would he tell a transparent lie like that? It’s obviously a distraction, but a distraction from what?

    Is it a distraction from the Epstein files, or any of Trump’s countless other crimes and criminal behaviors? Obviously.

    But maybe he’s also specifically trying to cast himself as a victim because he was the one who set the whole thing up. Guys, I’m thinking that Trump did 9/11.

      epstein files is the main reasons there are all these gaffes on MSMs, and they are complicit because most of the owners are on it too.

      As another dude said it’s dementia. It’s a relatively common thing where as their sense of reality slips they basically start to claim absurd shit. It’s sad when it happens to most people since it’s generally a really bad sign of how far they’ve degraded, but with Trump eh fuckem.

      I’d say it’s a distraction from being the worst president in American history with the midterms coming up. Epstein files are about 80% forgotten at this point.

      It’s probably a lot of issues, like everyone else is saying, but I think the thing getting the most coverage that’s going poorly for him right now is the failure of a war with Iran. Right now, I’m assuming most things are attempting to distract from that specifically.

      It’s just what power means to someone like him. He can say what he wants and everyone has to accept it. You have no meaningful ability to hold him to account for the lie. That’s power.
