Trump: 'Many people jumped and I witnessed it' on 9/11
CNN ^ | 11/24/15 | Jeremy Diamond

Columbus, Ohio (CNN)Donald Trump said Monday that he witnessed people jumping out of the Twin Towers on 9/11 from the view in his apartment.

"Many people jumped and I witnessed it, I watched that. I have a view -- a view in my apartment that was specifically aimed at the World Trade Center," Trump said Monday during a rally in Columbus, Ohio.

"And I watched those people jump and I watched the second plane hit ... I saw the second plane hit the building and I said, 'Wow that's unbelievable,'" Trump continued.

At least 200 people are believed to have jumped from the Twin Towers after planes struck the towers in an attack that claimed more than 2,600 lives.

The Republican presidential contender lives in Trump Tower in midtown Manhattan, more than four miles away from where the World Trade Center towers once stood. Trump has lived in the 5th Avenue tower since before the attacks, according to media reports pre-dating 9/11.

The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment asking how Trump witnessed people jumping out of the Twin Towers from more than four miles away.

Trump on Monday also dug into his claim that Muslims in New Jersey celebrated the terrorist attacks on 9/11, a claim that has been widely debunked by multiple fact-checkers.

Another person who shifts away from Trump’s outright lie.

No one disputes that Muslims were dancing in the streets in the Middle East.

No one can find any record of what Trump claims he saw on television in Jersey.

A Trump lie is no better than an Obama lie. If you have to bend over backwards to support Trump even when you know he is lying, not much I can do about it.

Dusty archive?

We are talking about a time with full access to network video. You make it sound like the the era of kinescopes.

Idiot, I support Cruz, but I suppose when caught backing a stone-cold lie, you could do no better in your response.

You saw thousands celebrating in New Jersey,too?

Is this mass hypnosis at work?

Liar.

Many members of the public have come forward supporting Trump's account because they, too, saw it on local television - and many saw it in person in their neighborhoods.

Watched the video. Which province in China contains New Jersey?

Amazing to watch Conservatives running away from truth in order to back Trump.

"Then why can’t anyone produce a video?"
"Watched the video."

So which is it?

Not only could he see people jumping from the towers four miles away, he can see New Jersey from his window. I wonder if he sees my house from Trump Tower.

If he can see my house, last Saturday, he saw me running down the sidewalk in my nightgown with my panties in my hand as I ran after my four pound Yorkie, Prissy, when she took off out of the front door. I had begun to dress for church when she started barking at the front door which meant someone was there.

Went to front door and saw nothing. I barely opened the door to see if something was left on the door and she took off like a bullet to go see him (she loves everyone). He was pretty far down the street on the sidewalk and I immediately took off after her. He caught her when she got there and yelled he had her. When I got there he said, "She is really fast." He was with an organization gathering canned goods for people for Thanksgiving and I told him we gave canned goods to our Catholic Church for that purpose. I thanked him for catching her and hurriedly went back home.

I went back to the dressing room and told Bob what happened. He said he wished he had his telephone camera to take a picture of that and put it on Facebook. There are no pictures, so all of you will have to see it in your mind instead. Let me know if you want to adopt 4 lb. Prissy but remember you will have to stay dressed every minute of the day in case she tears off to go see someone on the sidewalk. :o)

The mayor of the New Jersey town where Trump said he saw “thousands” and “thousands” of them celebrating the downing of the towers, said it did not happen and the police dept. of that town also said it didn’t happen.

The only non-network people with “full access to network video” were those who had their VCRs running for the first 48 hours. I wasn’t one of them.

How do you think Trump was commuting to and from the Trump World Tower, a 72-story residential tower across from the United Nations Headquarters ?

Do you really think he was in a limo going to and from all his hotels ?

You are aware that Palin never said that, aren't you? Those are the words of Tina Fey. Even the lefties at Snopes admit that Palin never said that.

Well, you would NOT believe it, even if you saw it.
