...Mr. Trump said in the most recent version of his thoughts on 9/11: “Look, Jeb said we were safe with my brother. We were safe. Well, the World Trade Center just fell down.” ...

For Donald Trump to suggest in his syntactically vague fashion that former President George W. Bush bears blame for Sept. 11, which occurred nine months after he assumed office; or for Donald Trump to revisit 9/11 to promote his thoughts on immigration, is frankly disgusting.

His remark about President Bush is an utter falsity, and it demeaned the reality of what happened that day.

In this week’s Wall Street Journal/NBC poll of Republican presidential preferences, Mr. Trump sits on top with 25%. The polling suggests that this 25% spreads across many layers of the electorate. We are exploring the outer limits of how much falsity America’s “angry” people will choke down. ... Donald Trump fits for now, but poorly. He isn’t the leader of a movement. He’s an impresario of sensations. Reducing 9/11 to a political prop was indeed sensational. It was also beyond the pale.
