Most parents will teach their kids that they shouldn't tell lies, and will even punish them when they do lie. In Trump's case, I think his parents not only encouraged him to lie, they rewarded him when he did lie. That's a lot of rewards. That would explain why Trump behaves as if consequences don't apply to him.
During a ceremony in the Rose Garden to formally sign a bill that will extend the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund through 2092, Trump told a group of more than 60 first responders that the legislation “provides pensions for those who are suffering from cancer and other illnesses stemming from the toxic debris they were exposed. Many of those affected were firefighters, police officers, and other first responders. ”He then told an outrageous lie when he said, “I was down there also, but I’m not considering myself a first responder. But I was down there—I spent a lot of time down there with you.”
It sounds like Trump wants to claim victim status too. He can't stand to see anyone other than himself being viewed as a victim. He probably wants to receive money form the 9/11 compensation fund by claiming he was there with the 1st responders, which he clearly wasn't.
Trump has told similar egregious lies about his whereabouts on 9/11 in the past. On the campaign trail on April 18, 2016, in Buffalo NY, he said: " Everyone who helped clear the rubble - and I was there, and I watched, and I helped a little bit."😂😲😄
There is no evidence that Trump participated in recovery efforts, there’s also no evidence he spent time near ground zero in the week following the attack.
During a 2015 rally, Trump claimed he watched the 9/11 attacks from a window in Trump Tower.
“Many people jumped and I witnessed it, I watched that,” he said.
There’s just one problem — Trump Tower is more than four miles away from ground zero.😄
If Trump will lie about being at ground zero with 1st responders, it means he will lie about any and everything, and he does.
