Trump mulls charging CNN $5 million for debate appearance
As Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump continues to insist that he viewed television footage of “thousands and thousands” of Muslims celebrating in New Jersey as the World Trade Center fell, journalists searching for footage have failed to find it. “But the facts are the facts, and that did not happen in New Jersey that day, and it hasn’t happened since”.
I mean if Trump has as great a memory as he claims to have then surely he can more precise than “thousands and thousands”.
“I want to apologize, because prostitutes get money, and the 100 that went in there walked away with nothing”, he said. “I thought it was really courageous of him to just sit there and take the tough questions”, she said.
“It’s very unfortunate the way he has talked to not just the African-American community but the things he has said about women, Mexicans and Muslims”, Couzens told reporters on his way into Trump Tower. Mayor Giuliani, who has been tireless and magnificent in this crisis, rightly warned New Yorkers that it would be wrong to take that anger out on the city’s Arab and Muslim residents.
Trump’s overall assessment of the meeting was voiced later that day when he told a almost all-white audience of about 5,000 at a rally that the gathering was “inspiring” and “unbelievable”. “He let his people answer for him”. If it shows up, it will corroborate him. His remarks were widely discredited, but he has not backed down, citing old news clips as evidence that Muslims were celebrating en mass in Jersey City on September 11, 2001. “We did have some celebrating”, he said, “That is true”. The reporter of that article has said he was unable to corroborate the claims at the time, and was drawn into a public spat with the billionaire, who appeared to mock the reporter’s disability. “But not ‘thousands.’ And disgusted Muslims also called police about people on roofs”, he continued. Some of the pastors said they wanted to challenge Trump about his racially charged rhetoric, from his comments casting Mexican immigrants as “rapists” and “criminals” to his strident opposition to resettling Syrian war refugees in the United States.
In an interview Tuesday morning, Rudy said that the city indeed looked into reports of people celebrating on 9/11 – and found some scattered cases totaling perhaps “10, 12 – 30, 40” people.
