"I was down there also, but I'm not considering myself a first responder," Trump said. "But I was down there. I spent a lot of time down there with you." link

trump will soon claim he was having breakfast at the Windows of the World restaurant during the early morning business hours of 9/11, and that he jumped from the 107th floor and safely landed onto the WTC plaza.

When you get a glimpse into a narcissists' mind it can be breathtakingly chilling.

That the Republican Party is looking to renominate this man to be their candidate is what scares the hell out of me. “There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.”
― George W. Bush Looks like the GOP can be fooled again.

getting back to the OP, Trump has made it a habit of claiming moral capital that he has no ownership over. for example: VICTIMHOOD. he has made a political career out of claiming that he and others like him are VICTIMS of this or that, when in fact they are part of the privileged minority.

Note the wording: "... I'm not considering myself a first responder, ..." Trump said. ... link "I'm not considering myself one but others? What can I say if others considering me one." Damn he is slick (though that "l" probably shouldn't be in there).

In New Jersey where he saw them dancing in the streets with his own eyes, or am I misremembering his claims from a couple of years ago?

And isn't it something where every Trump speech has to contain some brag about himself? Today's event was Trump's signing the law extending the 9/11 health benefits for first responders (I may have mis-stated that a bit, it's from memory). So the speech should have been all about what a great job the first responders did at great personal sacrifice. But no, Trump had to make sure he got included in that special group. Good grief. Stolen valor is exactly the term I thought of when I heard what Trump said.

He can't help himself. He HAS to make it about himself.

Probably a spilled Slurpee.

Trump is the Forrest Gump of politics.
Let's not forget how he also fought the Vietnam War - only his fight was against the great foe of STDs.
How brave he was, to enter boldly into all those packed NYC night clubs, treading wearily on his poor bone spur feet, the whiff of pot smoke lingering in the air, the stobe lights dimming his view, to take on all those chlamydia carriers gyrating on the dance floor, while wearing just his bespoke suit for protection, armed only with a mixed drink.
Such a hero! Surely NYC must have erected a monument to him somewhere, by now - to the great STD warrior - an eight foot tall Trump holding a condom in his extended right hand.
