EXCLUSIVE: Donald Trumps claim he got $150G in post-9/11 state funds for small businesses because he helped people in need is unfounded, docs showBY CAMERON JOSEPH

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.
That government program was designed to help local businesses get back on their feet not reimburse people for their charitable work.

Where Hillary worked hard to get funds to those who truly needed help, Trump saw a opportunity to enrich himself the only person that he cares about.
