If they were 15 miles away as you say and they were working for hours down in the mess, wouldn’t they need food and water and supplies. ( 15 miles from their station house) I thought I read that Trump sent his people from the Trump Tower with food from there along with drinks quite often. I believe his employees were sent to help out at times too.
I have no doubt Scarsdale helped down at "the pile" - so did every firefighter I knew in Westchester – but Scarsdale did not direct the operation, nor would their Scarsdale address have even been known downtown.
Not to take anything from Trump - he definitely was enormously helpful on 9/11 and after. But even his own campaign said this was a misspeak.
According to Kerick, who by the way spent a great deal of time down at Ground Zero, Donald Trump displayed incredible generosity and concern towards the volunteers and first responders who worked down at “The Pile” sifting through debris for body remains. Bernie told me without hesitation, “Trump instructed hundreds of his hotel workers to head down to Ground Zero and offer a hand doing whatever needed to be done. Be it hand out water, food, etc, etc.” I asked if the cameras caught any of this? Kerick explained there were no cameras permitted in the area, and Trump knew this. Meaning, he didn’t do it for the fanfare or press clippings. Perhaps Donald did it because he loves America, and because he cares about the American people?
Kerick went on to say Trump himself visited Ground Zero to help lift spirits and to thank the tireless workers who were down there each day and night searching for bodies. “He didn’t have to do it, he wanted to do it. That’s the Trump I know.”
