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.

Washington Post 9/18/2001 had a story reporting about tail gating parties on the roofs in Jersey City watching the burning buildings across the river in New York City. Cheering
Celebrating 3000 dead Americans.
Police went to investigate.
Fox news is still saying this morning Trump made it all up.
Hundreds of people in New Jersey also say it happened elsewhere in New Jersey too.
If we know about this story in WAPO why is Fox still pushing this crap onto Trump. That he is doubling down with lies?
Go Google this story its out there nothing new. Just shows how the media lies.
These MSM journalists aren’t about protecting the truth - they are all about protecting the New World Order.
Lies for sale.
[/sarc]?
I fully believe that DT watched suicifrom his office 4 miles away.
Name me one person “of importance” in NYC that wasn’t watching this unfold in their binoculars.
With some binoculars or a telescope, which I'm sure Trump has up there, you would be able to see the people jumping. It was a crystal clear day on 9/11 in Manhattan.
It’s a crafting term, adding detail to a fabric to make it prettier or more interesting.
Trump does that when speaking to crowds, when he’d be just as persuasive if he’d stick to the basic facts of a story. The difference, of course, is that embroidery thread is solidly attached to the underlying fabric. Trump’s embroidery doesn’t hold up well under scrutiny. That is a problem for a candidate who needs to be taken seriously.
He’s somewhat like the little boy who cried “wolf.” You never know when he’s telling the simple truth or whether he’s spinning.
What, trump has the only penthouse in nyc without a telescope?
Dude, 70x5 can put a viewer very close to the action from 4 miles.
Next, comes another televised tour of Mr. Trump’s penthouse home showing the premium telescopes placed throughout the home with the multi-$Billion dollar 360 degree panoramic view.
Well, you’re forgetting Hillary’s daughter who was supposedly “jogging” near there when it went down (according the to First Lady/Senator/Secretary Liar).
That’s a good point. Trump’s people need to have him ready to talk about his magnifying devices when he’s asked about it -— which he most certainly will be.
Trump Tower is at 57th and 5th Avenue. The World Trade Towers were at the base of Manhattan. That's a good 7 or 8 miles away. Is his eyesight that good?
Knowing Trump They were the best pair of Nikons money could buy!
So you’re not only a Trump hater but also a Palin hater.
sorry, fat fingered:
...watched suicide from his office...
Well I know for a fact that the human eye can barely discern two headlights at night from two miles on a dark and lonely highway.
You know? All the tech-talk and crafting aside, he really had me at “deport all the illegals.”
Okey Dokey.
:-) Thanks for the laugh.
