Typical Trump response to a national disaster. First comes first - how does said disaster benefit him?

How long did it take him to slap "tallest building in Manhattan" on all his marketing?

I wonder if Atlas could fool the internet if we photoshopped some sort of tasteless 9/11-related advertising on a Trump product, sort of like that Subway advertisement.

Is this the architectural equivalent of a dick-measuring contest? Only instead of using 'hands' he is referring to buildings? Tongue

Yeah but Hillary got a heat headache during a memorial service today and left, they're equally bad!

What do you mean "nice try"? I posted it because I found it despicable. There was no other goal except my desire to share it with others.

But if you want to get into strategy, some people may find it enlightening to see exactly what kinds of thoughts Trump has in relation to tragedies like 9/11. His response to the Orlando shooting just reinforces that perception - That his first thoughts are on how said tragedy benefits him. Do they want a president who measures the world around him like this?

Because it is partly taken out of the context. You want probably to distract from Hillary.

Why would I even care about that? First, I'm just a random user on a more pro-Clinton internet forum, not some Clinton surrogate on CNN. Second, I am largely in sync on this issue with most users on this forum regarding the health issue, so there wouldn't really even be a need to 'distract.' I just happened to come across this clip while browsing today.

Sheesh, talk about conspiracies. I suppose you think Correct The Record is cutting me a fat check every week too?

Bwhahahahaha this is almost as funny as when he wanted to literally rebuild the WTC exactly as it was with the addition of a massive TRUMP logo.

Trump organized 9/11, but one of his most prominent surrogates did 9/11

Don't be ridiculous. While I'm sure he would have liked to, he doesn't have enough money to have funded it.

Just when I almost consider voting for him...

He never ceases to remind me why I decided to vote for Johnson.

Wow, way, way, way, out of context.  Hadn't seen the actual video until you posted that link.

Anchor specifically asks Trump about his building being a lower Manhattan landmark, and if there's any damage.  And Trump proceeds to very somberly describe the history of the tallest buildings in lower Manhattan and how WTC surpassed his building, and how that changed again.  No sneering or triumphalism or har-har attitude or whatever the lefties imagine.  Just somber reality.

Folks, there's plenty of silly comments Trump can be criticized over, but this ain't one of 'em.

If Hillary hadn't been taken ill, this could have damaged Trump.

Sorry, I mean if Hillary hadn't been taken ill and if the media actually decided to take Trump seriously as a candidate (my theory is they don't think he can win, so they don't bother to make an issue about the hundreds of things which could bury him), this could have damaged Trump.

Thousands of residents of New York City were displaced and made homeless because of Donald Trump.

After Donald Trump used his position of influence to discriminate against African Americans, he went on to steal and destroy people's livelihoods for his own personal benefit.

He'll do the same thing to the country.

That old taken out of context excuse. Let's come up with some new material. With that said, everyone knows Trump is pure evil and this is just more evidence to support that idea. Vile, evil, wicked man.

In context it's still bad, but not the worst thing Trump has ever said.
