>> Today, Donald Trump signed the funding bill for the 9-11 first responders, and in
typical Trump fashion he decided to make it about him by making some false statements,
take a look.
>> Many of those affected were firefighters, police officers, and other first responders.
And I was down there also, but I'm not considering myself a first responder, but I was down there.
I spent a lot of time down there with you.
>> So again, he makes it about himself, and this isn't the first time Donald Trump claimed
that he was down there in the rubble with the first responders.
>> Everyone who helped clear the rubble, and I was there, and I watched and I helped a
little bit, but I wannna tell you, those people were amazing.
Clearing the rubble, trying to find additional lives, you didn't know what was gonna come
down on all of us, and they handled it.
>> On all of us.
I helped a little bit.
Do you think that Donald Trump would say that he helped a little bit if he'd helped a little
bit?
My guess is he was never ever stop talking about, I was there, I was there, it was me,
I was the one coordinating the whole thing.
I was the one picking up the rubble, I rescued 17 people they would be dead without me.
He would go on and on, I helped a little bit.
The first reported instance of Donald Trump going to the area around Ground Zero, was
in September 14th.
Three days later, he was spotted by a reporter talking on his cell phone about his businesses
and how it affects him.
Of course, we're gonna get to more of his terrible things he said about 9-11 in a second.
But in the clip that just happened, when he was in the Rose Garden, talking about, now
look I'm not considering myself a first responder even though I was there.
Are you not merciful?
You know why you're not a first responder?
Cuz you weren't there.
You didn't go down on that day or the day after, you didn't pick up a goddamn thing,
you didn't help and you're an unbelievable liar, who would even demagogue about 9-11.
Not just take advantage of it for political reasons, but to pretend you were there.
If it was a military situation, the term would be stolen valor.
And that's what the kind of prick, that Donald Trump is.
>> Exactly, so let's give you some evidence of what really happened that day.
Donald Trump was not a 9-11 first responder, he did not help with the relief efforts.
In fact, the New York Times spoke to a retired Deputy Chief of the New York Fire Department
who said that Trump was not a presence at ground zero.
In fact, Richard Ellis also said, I spent many months there myself, and I never witnessed
hi, he was a private citizen at the time.
I don't know what kind of role he could, have possibly played.
>> And look, that guy was at the Rose Garden event, and he's still saying, no, look man,
I was there and he just wasn't there.
Just wasn't.
And he talked about other politicians that did show up, and that doesn't make first responders
either, but there was Republicans like Giuliani who went, and there was Democrats like Carol
Maloney who went.
Trump did not go on those first days.
He was on the radio talking about how tall his buildings are, now that the others collapse.
He said, unreal demagogue if Obama had done 1% of any of these comments, if he had said
that he was a first responder around 9-11 and that he had helped a little bit, and there
was no evidence that he'd gone.
Man, they would have savaged Obama.
How could you say that you helped on 9-11 when you weren't there?
You monster, you monster, taking credit for what our brave cops and firefighters did.
But Republicans are like, so what, so what, our president said, obvious preposterous liar,
and he does it then it takes advantage of the actual brave first responders.
So what, never cared about him in the first place.
Everything the Republicans stand for is a lie, everything.
>> After 9-11 Donald Trump decided it would be a great idea to brag about his properties.
40 Wall Street actually was the second tallest building in downtown Manhattan, and it was
actually before the World Trade Center was the tallest and then when they built the World
Trade Center, it became known as the second tallest and now it's the tallest.
By the way, it wasn't, not that it matters.
And this is when he felt the need to talk about right after 9-11.
This is what he was the most concerned about.
>> It was on the day of the attacks, the buildings were still burning,
>> Yeah.
>> And this monster goes on the radio to brag about, well, the good news is my building
is now the tallest in Manhattan.
>> No, it gets worse though, it gets worse, just when you think he couldn't get worse,
he does.
Right after 9-11, Trump applied for and received $150,000 in state funds intended to help small
businesses affected by the attacks, despite the fact that his business was not affected.
>> He's a disgusting human being.
>> Can you imagine, can you imagine if Elizabeth Warren had done that?
They said she fill out a form wrong 40 years ago and they're still losing their minds over
it.
If she had filled out a form and gets small business funding after 9-11, even though she
wasn't affected.
What do you think, forget the right wing, what do you think the press would do?
But Trump does the most monstrous things, over and over again on the most sensitive
topics.
And the band plays on.
Not done, one more.
He once said, that he had his own Trump organization guys go down and help clean up the rubble.
He said quote, I have a lot of men down here right now.
We have over 100 and we have 125 coming, so we'll have a couple of hundred people down
here, we will be involved in some form helping to reconstruct.
He said no such people.
No first responders ever saw them.
Someone who worked with him at the time said, the whole Trump Organization at the time was
about a dozen people.
I don't know what do you sign about, 100 and 125 people.
He lied about sending his employees to go help pull people out of the buildings.
Is there a more heinous lie you could tell in America?
And so Republicans, if you're proud of this guy who revels in stolen valor around 9-11,
you might be just as monstrous as he is.
>> Yep, they are.
