Trump made a mistake in his recollection. It wasn't the next day, it was two days after the attack. And it wasn't the Stock Exchange, it was the Bond Market. Please keep the memory of the people that in a time of incredible grief continued to do the important business of the American bond market. I am in the financial services industry and talked to one of those men that day; he was fiercely proud while grieving the loss of friends and family. Please read the following articles for a better understanding:

More fake news.

Media is the greatest source of division and hate in America.

I bet there isn’t one person in any of our 57 states who cares what Yahoo news prints.

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.

The real problem is that lots of people encounter Yahoo, MSN, and other popular sites every day and they contain nothing but exaggerated anti trump news stories. You go there to read about a shark bite story and you get inundated with liberal propaganda.

The stock market was closed for 4 trading days, including 9-11 itself. To prevent a stock market meltdown, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the Nasdaq did not open for trading on Tuesday morning, September 11, 2001. When American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center at 8:46 a.m. and American Airlines Flight 175 hit the South Tower at 9:03 a.m., it was obvious that American was under attack.

Anticipating market chaos, panic selling and a disastrous loss of value in the wake of the attacks, the NYSE and the Nasdaq remained closed until September 17, the longest shutdown since 1933. Moreover, many trading, brokerage, and other financial firms had offices in the World Trade Center and were unable to function in the wake of the tragic loss of life and collapse of both towers.

How could someone forget that?

Trading was shut down for some time, but how about NYSE the organization? Was it open?

“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?

Just a bit of MSM bias. How hard is it to write ‘mistakenly’ instead of ‘falsely’?

I think we can admit that Trump sometimes says things that he wants to be true, but have no basis in fact. It's not a big deal to admit that. I mean come on, he's a real estate developer from Queens.

That being said, I don't care. He's still so much better than Hillary!

When Obama was caught lying it was a mistake. When Trump makes a mistake, it is a lie.

Q: Did anyone report to work there the next day? Were people on site though the exchange wasn’t open for trading? Just curious.

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?

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.”

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.
