From the article: With what happened early today, that horrible, horrible attack in Pittsburgh, I was saying, Maybe I should cancel both this and that. And then I said to myself,...We cant make these sick, demented, evil people important, Trump said.

It’s fake news because Yahoo claimed that Trump used that as an excuse for having a rally the day after the synagogue shootings. He didn’t.
He was making an analogy that happened to be false remembering of no great importance. Big deal.
to a lot of democrats, Obama saying he’d been to 57 states was a little thing. To the right, it was so big that it’s still used today against Obama.
He’s the one who made the after great tragedy claim. He was trying to equivocate and got it wrong. Very wrong.
No. No vote for Hillary. But let’s face facts. It’s not fake news either.
Trading was shut down for some time, but how about NYSE the organization? Was it open?
Of course not. But I do think it speaks to preparation and wreaks of amateur mistakes and it bugs me.
I remember when Moochelle hugged the Queen. It’s about being ill prepared.
As a New Yorker, he should remember. KEENLY. I don’t care how much is on his mind. In that moment, he chose to speak about 9/11 and he f^cked it all up giving his enemies more to seize on, more to write on, and more to influence the weak minded with.
Well, no Skippy, it isn't. Would you like for me to demonstrate?
I am happy to help you that way.
You see, when posting an article, the "author" field is populated with the author of the article.
Not you, not the person posting it.. but the actual author.
Again... NOT YOU.
See?
Now tell me again how things are done here, junior.
There are plenty of people who wear blinders on both sides of the political aisle.
Remember the teams, the Yankees, George Steinbrenner. He said, We have got to play, even if nobody comes. Nobody shows up, we have got to play.
...
Did Trump just quote Steinbrenner, or did he actually say that no games were cancelled?
I am very detail oriented and my job entails a lot of public speaking in front of crowds. Thinking that the US has 57 states can be a misstatement or it can be stupidity. To me it is of marginal importance except that Barack Obama was supposed to be the world’s smartest man, who never released any of his grades, and Hillary Clinton, who flunked the DC bar exam, the world’s smartest woman. But it is of more importance than remembering nearly two decades later just how many days the stock market did or did not close after 9/11. Sounds like inside baseball for the 25,000 or so who worked on Wall Street then and not very relevant to the 320 million of the rest of us.
Just a bit of MSM bias. How hard is it to write ‘mistakenly’ instead of ‘falsely’?
That being said, I don't care. He's still so much better than Hillary!
Translation:
We[the ministry of truth] can’t shut this guy up.
Agreed. We should be assisting in gently removing them.
It’s more like the time obama said anything during his 8 years as king.
I’m with you. He went further to claim that Steinbrenner said the Yankees would play the next day. As if it were up to George.
Amateur mistakes. He’s a New Yorker. I knew of him when he was screwing Citibank for his defunct Trump airline. I doubted from the get go that his brash style of speaking would translate well outside of the tri-state area. Maybe were it not for Hildebeast it wouldn’t have. But I do not like that he got this wrong.
I mean, he claims to remember seeing people celebrate as the Towers came down right? Yet he fubars this. And that’s what he did. FUBAR it.
At least I’m objective enough to see and say it.
*prepares for flames/trolls/concerns/DU accusations etc. etc. blah blah blah*
Was it a mistake. Or was it just a falsehood stated with the belief that no one would know the difference? I haven’t heard a claim one way or the other from the person who said it.
Yes, I remember when Michelle Obama hugged the Queen, same as when Jimmy Carter put a big smack wet kiss on the Queen’s mother, which she never shut up about. I also know that when the Queen travels, she has some lackey carry her toilet seat in a special wrap. My advice to old MetalMouth is “Ligthen up, Queeny”.
It doesnt matter since his point was that life can (and should) continue after tragic events, especially when such events are inspired by evil intent.
He should still have rallies, even after the shooting, because its important (just like the stock market is important) thus shouldnt be stopped because of some nutjob.
Did he get some details wrong? Yes. But the fact it was almost a week after 9/11 instead of a day that the market reopened is not very relevant when considering the larger more important point to not back down or put life on hold after an evil act.
Does anyone think Obama is stopping any rallies today or tomorrow? Or any Dem candidate? Is anyone asking that question instead of pointing out a relatively minor error by Trump?
Yes. I have friends that died that day. I drove wives to train stations to retrieve their husbands cars. I had colleagues at Cantor.
But none of that matters. You’re missing the point. It’s not that he didn’t know or should have remembered. That’s fine. Odd, very odd. But fine.
Point is, if the couldn’t remember than he should either shut up about it, or find out the actual dates.
