I don’t buy it. Sorry.

I lived that day. Front and center. No one here- NO ONE - forgets that the market was closed for a week. Also, the Yankees didn’t play the next day. He got that wrong too.

He also got the name of the guy who opened the NYSE wrong. Not the bond market. The stock market.

I swear sometimes he doesn’t think at all when he speaks.

I lived through it too, though not in NYC. I'll bet if you walked down 5th avenue and asked 100 people how long the NYSE exchange was closed after 9/11 most people wouldn't have a clue. <>p> Were YOU aware of the story of Cantor Fitzgerald and the bond market?

So the little things, and these are real little things from 17 years ago, are what are most important to you? How many days the stock market closed really doesn’t mean a whole lot to me. The makeup of the courts, the status of the economy, and whether I am taxed out of existence are a lot more important to me.

Yeah, but look at all the folks saying the report is fake news. Trump could claim there are no casinos in Vegas, the media would point out that’s not correct and certain Trump supporters would claim it was fake news.

I don’t care at all that a memory from 17 years ago was wrong. Big deal. I would still vote for Trump tomorrow even with such an “egregious”mistake on his record.

Who cares? He was making a point:

If the nation is paralyzed with fear and everything is shut down, then the terrorists win - they have succeeded in disrupting our lives. He used 9/11 as an example. So what if he didn’t have all the facts right?

Campaign rallies and voting are how we fight to hold onto our liberty - and one of those liberties is the right to protect ourselves - including the 2nd amendment. Should we stop fighting because of an attack? Of course not.

Do you think the Left stops fighting out of respect for victims of a shooting? No! They take full political advantage by pushing their gun control narrative. And after an Islamic terrorist attack? No! They take full advantage to push their open borders agenda and their “Islamaphobia” talking points.

What Trump said and did was exactly right, and harping on unimportant factual errors only shows you missed the whole point.
