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

Posted on 11/24/2015 8:12:35 AM PST by Clint N. Suhks

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.

This may not be the video you are thinking of, but this one shows the planes hitting the towers and people jumping.

It brings it all back for me.

I lost two friends on Flight 93 and one friend, a firefighter at the Trade Center.

You are both the greatest for responding so quickly. I didn’t expect to get any responses.

Of course you can see for miles and miles from New York skyscrapers. That was never the question, but rather whether one can see a falling human body from four miles away.

If I were rich enough to afford a 68th floor Manhattan penthouse, you can be certain there would be a telescope on a tripod handy to the windows. And binoculars.

Decent binoculars would probably have been sufficient.

He spends a lot of time clarifying what he said. He should shut the F up and think a little before spouting out every thought that enters his mind. Good grief.

On the other hand, every time he ignites one of these drive-by media storms, his poll numbers go up. Maybe he understands something you don't.

Fact is, this cycle, the voters want to see the media dissed and PC violated. And the Donald is up to the task!

I wonder if they thought there was some way to survive the fall.

Is there some way? Two floor height foam block? Anything?

Pine trees and soft snow cover.

I never said there were not Muslims in America happy about the WTC.

I said there was never a video on television after the WTC showing thousands of Muslims in NJ cheering it as Trump claims.

And still I am shown other videos.

Some of you seem to believe that the videos have been deleted even though none of you saw it, either.

Trump lied.

The issue isn’t the evil of Islam. We all agree on that. The issue is that Trump never saw the video on television.

When will Breitbart or Drudge or someone else back up Trump’s story?

Apparently, never.

No, you watched the wrong video and conflated it wit the article.
AND you continued insisting we were all lying.

You will have to consult a professional to help you with your reading disability.

Still waiting for the video Trump said he saw on television that showed thousands of Muslims celebrating on the Jersey rooftops.

Where is it?
