Guilani only had an issue with the total number. not with Trump saying there were celebrations.

Trump said thousands, and maybe it was not that high.

As for the mayor, he had more important matters on his mind from the morning of 9/11/01 onward.

Yep. And I do wish Guilani had avoided that pitfall. Just because Guilani did not see thousands of US Muslims celebrate, it does not mean that it did not happen.

But that doesn't leave Trump off the hook either. He needs to either back up that number, or just say that he was not speaking literally, and then move on.

I don't know of anyone who took a headcount but on 9-11 there were enough out in the streets in Patterson NJ that folks were sent home and streets were closed off. This crap went on for days.

So now we’re parsing numbers...no one is denying that this actually happened anymore, notice that? It’s now down to the numbers.

So let’s play a math game. If there are 100 people who corroborate the story that this happened, and if it was only 10 people in each instance and these were separate instances...guess how many that equals? 1,000. Take it from there. This is ridiculous.
