Donald Trumps tale about why he took $150,000 in 9/11 money is as tall as the Downtown skyscraper he says he used in recovery efforts, according to government records.
Though the billionaire presidential candidate has repeatedly suggested he got that money for helping others out after the attacks, documents obtained by the Daily News show that Trumps account was just a huge lie.
Records from the Empire State Development Corp., which administered the recovery program, show that Trumps company asked for those funds for rent loss, cleanup and repair not to recuperate money lost in helping people.

main purpose was to get other people's money and use those funds to bribe government
officials so they would go after other Trump scams?

No more selfish person exists on this planet.

(204 posts)Trump has become the half-drunk guy at the bar who will tell you anything, literally anything, to get you to buy him a drink. But in the end he isn't an agent for movie stars or fashion models or a master of the universe hedge fund manager. Just a loud, bragging drunk.

It doesn't matter what the Cult Leader Trump does.
His minions / deplorables are so full of hate and loathing (and fear) they will buy anything.
Thanks again Hillary for pointing this out.

(18,868 posts)He just makes up any old thing and just expects people to believe it. And then has a huge twitter meltdown if he gets caught.
Really people. There is something really seriously wrong with him.
Somebody needs to find a way to get him disqualified for being totally unfit for this job. He needs to be in a mental facility somewhere. Seriously. This is getting really scary.
