Trump has repeatedly cited a Washington Post article written by Kovaleski a week after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on NY, which says “a number of people… were allegedly seen celebrating” in New Jersey. Whether it’s thousands and thousands or 1,000 people or even just 1 person, it’s irrelevant.

The Jersey City Police Chief said there is no record of anyone detained for celebrating on 9/11.
Trump also called on Americans to take action and report suspicious activity in their neighborhoods.
“We would not have gotten Osama bin-Laden – from what I hear – without waterboarding”, Trump said. “I patrol these streets every day and I haven’t seen one person with a smile on their face at the mention of this tragedy”, the officer told the Daily News.
Donald Trump holds a commanding lead in the New Hampshire Republican primary, which is less than three months away.
The Republican mogul also raised eyebrows on Monday by claiming he personally saw the people leaping to their deaths from the World Trade Center buildings. “Mr. Trump has provided them to local media outlets that have covered this coverage that they don’t want to go and talk about”. Trump was widely criticised on the social media for his behaviour. ABC News, among many other news organizations, has investigated and no evidence of such cheering in Jersey City has been found. Given that this (1) never happened and (2) never freaking happened, this caused consternation in his campaign, which quickly issued word that their own candidate was merely momentarily confused as to whether New Jersey was part of the Middle East, because he meant the Middle East. But during the renewed fear of a terrorist attack by Muslim terrorists, the idea of Muslims in America celebrating the attack on the Twin Towers is an easy way to rile up voters.
“If you are running for a presidential position, you are taking an oath to defend the Constitution”, she said. Of course, we’re a bit ironic here, considering that during a rally in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, he made another surprising declaration, as stated by CBS News.
“I saw he was making trouble”. At one point, Trump invited onto the stage a guy in the audience who dressed up like him. “I get called by a guy that can’t buy a pair of trousers, I get called names?”
