Trump Gets 9/11 Attacks Date Wrong in Speech
Monday, April 18, 2016 10:33 PM

By: Jason Devaney

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump gave the wrong date for the September 11 terrorist attacks during a campaign speech Monday.

"I wrote this out, and it's very close to my heart because I was down there and I watched our police and our firemen down on 7/11, down at the World Trade Center right after it came down," Trump said in Buffalo.

"And I saw the greatest people I've ever seen in action. I saw the bravest people I've ever seen, including the construction workers, including every person down there."

Trump went on to discuss New York values, a phrase coined by his rival Texas Sen. Ted Cruz a few months ago. Cruz was referring to liberal politics, but Trump and his supporters spun it as a slam on the state.

"That's what New York values is about," Trump said Monday. "So I wrote out a little something and I'd like to talk about the New York values that we all know so well. The values that make us love this state. Despite its problems, we love this state. We know it's gonna come back. If I'm president, it's gonna come back to fast you won't even believe it. You watch."

In February, Trump referenced a set of 28 classified pages of a government report on 9/11, pages that are held under a tight lid. Reports say they contain information that ties Saudi Arabia to the terror attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people.

"In all fairness, we went after Iraq — they did not knock down the World Trade Center, OK? It wasn't the Iraqis that knocked down the World Trade Center," Trump said.

"You will find out who really knocked down the World Trade Center, because they have papers there that are very secret. You may find it's the Saudis, OK?"

Why does anyone want their President to be this boneheaded?

It's not just the stupidity (and seriousness) of this particular gaffe, but this man talks like a Valley Girl.

I just don't understand his appeal.   It's bizarre........

We'll get tired of winning, he'll win so much.

The problem is not Trump.  The problem is his supporters, gullible people who get sucked in by a personality.

I am sure it was a slip of the tongue....but really, mixing up 9/11 with 7/11...that's a big slip if you are a New Yorker!

IMO, it's a big slip if you're an American, let alone a New Yorker!  It's yuuuge, in fact.

Unbelievable.  I'm really beginning to wonder if Trump has a drinking problem, or maybe he's off his meds?

Trump has spent maybe 1 minute in total thinking about the 9-11 attacks since they happened.

Or maybe he's trying to sabotage his own campaign.

Even though verbal misspeaks happen in campaigns because of all the speeches the candidates give, the number of errors and stupid things Trump has said far excels the 'normal' candidate.

He's either losing it, or trying to lose.

I suspect the rigors of the campaign are getting to him.  He's not a spring chicken, even with all of his vaunted energy, and a presidential election has got to be grueling.  He doesn't look so good in the last few pictures I've seen of him.

It was a stupid slip of the tongue, but I'm willing to cut him some slack on it.  Particularly if he comes back and says he misspoke, was tired, whatever.

That's just plain weird.  I couldn't see myself ever making a mistake with that date.  Never forget.

But you know the Democrats is going to use this against him.

Maybe he just crank a 32 oz Big Gulp and had to go to the bathroom and confused the two.   It could happen.

I'm guessing he's made a hell of a lot bigger impact than you ever have.

Quote
That, said Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks, is flat-out wrong.
 
'Mr. Trump has donated close to half a million dollars to organizations as a result of the 9/11 tragedy including the American Red Cross and the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Fund,' Hicks told DailyMail.com, 'in addition to a total of $102 million dollars donated to hundreds of charitable foundations over a relatively short period of time, many of which helped people affected by 9/11.'

And Trump will turn around and mock Hillary for claiming she was the target of sniper fire.  Or, knowing him, he'll hit first, unlike the simps McRomney in 2008 and 2012.

The billionaire Republican front-runner's charitable foundation has not made a single substantial donation to any 9/11-related nonprofit groups that have aided survivors, rescue workers and the families of first-responders who gave their lives after the devastating terror attack, The Smoking Gun reported Wednesday, citing Internal Revenue Service records.

He gave them money from his personal funds, not his Foundation.  The liberal Daily News lied by omission, and here you are spreading their liberal lies.

No, HE SAYS "He gave them money from his personal funds, not his Foundation"  And the article you referenced said that he said that, so they didn't lie, and Sinkspur is not spreading their not-lies.

I don't know if he did or not since he won't release his returns, but I believe in "trust but verify".   Since we can't verify, I'm not believing he did and I'm not saying he didn't.
