Trump falsely claims NYSE reopened the day after 9/11 to justify holding rally
Yahoo News ^ | 10/29/18 | Michael Walsh

Posted on 10/29/2018 12:39:28 PM PDT by jdsteel

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 can’t make these sick, demented, evil people important,” Trump said.

Meh - don’t care.

Yes - it’s a horrible shooting.

Half as many died in Chicago this weekend. Are we going to stop the world for their deaths?

His point was clear. His example was false. Use real examples if you’re going to use them.

For a change I agree with humblegunner, you are not the author of the article (and btw, you spelled your own nickname wrong), and that is not how things are usually done here.

Biden:
“When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn’t just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed.”

Kerry:
“I remember Christmas of 1968 sitting on a gunboat in Cambodia. I remember what it was like to be shot at by Vietnamese and Khmer Rouge and Cambodians, and have the president of the United States telling the American people that I was not there; the troops were not in Cambodia. I have that memory which is seared — seared — in me.”

Trump’s POINT is what was IMPORTANT. His mistake was not. The media makes the mistake the important thing so the gullible will miss the POINT.

Don’t fall for it.

I lost 2 extremely close members of my family that day.
That being said i have no idea nor really care about whether the stock market was opened or if the yankees played.
President Trump was very active in fundraising and donations though and we do remember that!

Its a question of whether the traveling toilet seat protects the Queen from the germs on our toilets or protects us from the germs she brings from overseas.

“All the same peas in the same pod.”

Another, utterly, stupid thing to say.

“Trump made a mistake in his recollection. It wasn’t the next day, it was two days after the attack”


OH MY GOD HE WAS OFF BY ONE DAY!!!! IT’S THE END OF THE WORLD!!!!

Not surprisingly, Cantor Fitzgerald is a viper’s pit of Trump-hating Rats.

Seems to me you’re really quick to criticize.

You should take a break.

The people who defend every breath President Trump takes also defended President W Bush. We must support the President without blinders to any faults. It’s silly and polarizing to act as though a good leader is perfect. Ain’t no such thing.

How exactly does that change the point I was making in my post????

The headline is false as it states that the reason he held the rally was because he was told the stock market opened on 9/12. That IS wrong, he held the rally because “We can’t make these sick, demented, evil people important.”

That misremembered example simply bolsters that line of reasoning. Do you understand now?

If this was a one time thing, I’d be on board with you. It’s not. It’s frequent. And he totally whether in error or on purpose cheapened a raw moment in history. Especially for those who lost friends, family or loved ones in the collaspe. Part of that closure was for logistics. Part of it was to honor the last employed by the brokerages.

There are plenty of people who wear blinders on both sides of the political aisle.


I’m growing sick of it. We need to fight only about how to run our country. Not ad hominem against our opponents or glorifying to the extreme our leaders. Or we will deserve more violence from the craziest partisans.

Part of the reason the market remained closed was logistics. Part was in memory of those employed by the brokerages that were lost. He cheapened that.

I am going to take Mark Twain’s advice now concerning arguing with a fool.

Should you try and be less obtuse in the future we make discuss at that time. Have a great day.

Where did I assert perfection? What's silly is defending a media that jumps on every misstep as a sign Trump is hitler. To treat this is as a major news story, and your defending it as such, is nitpicking at it's worst. Even more discussing is your claim that defense of Trump is polarizing in the face of that being the entire goal of this story and msm media in general. Is that you paul ryno?

Eh, not a big deal. As they say, his supporters take him seriously but not literally. The flub actually puts a spotlight on his message.

He’s not a perfect vessel, but he’s far better than any of the other options we’ve had offered up over the last 30 years!
