I realize 2001 was pre IPhone. But it wasn't 1901. Thousands of people gathering in the street is a huge happening.There were cameras, there were video recorders. I am skeptical of Trump's statement until I see video proof. If it actually happened, it wouldn't be that hard to get.
I’m not certain if I saw videos, but I definitely saw stills of muslims in America partying after the bombings.
Hmm, you should begin believing Trump instead of yourself. It happened. Locals CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX, WOR, WPIX all showed it. You are entitled to your opinion, not entitled to your own set of facts. Hillary and JEB thank you!
It was widely reported that it happened, by passers-by and cops, not by reporters. It was picked up by the press, but because it wasn’t a TV reporter who witnessed it, and it was a short-lived phenomenon, there isn’t going to be any video tape.
This is one of the reasons FR is so valuable. The press report would have been re-printed here, and was in fact widely discussed here. So even if the press “disappears” their press reports from the times, Jim Robinson has it in his servers.
It happened in Seattle...in the Somalia community. Michael Medvedev reported on it.

Memory can play tricks on you. If something fits your frame of reference you remember it better, if it is outside of your frame of reference you tend not to notice it or remember it. That is what happens, big time, to the “MSM.” They do not remember any muslims celebrating 911 in America. Trump saw, on TV as you say, thousands of muslims celebrating 911. And he saw, and may have heard on the radio, reports of muslims celebrating 911 in New Jersey. His memory played less of a trick on him than the entire MSM memory played on it.It is a question of who is identifying with who. His memory reveals that Donald Trump identifies with the people who died in the WTC - after all, as a New Yorker he easily might have been one of them - and “the MSM” does not. And neither, plainly, does the PotUS.
As a political issue, the difference between “some muslims celebrating 911 in NJ” and “thousands of muslims on TV (worldwide) celebrating 911” is not a lie. In the context of PotUS making it clear that he would prefer that the entire Republican part of the US population be replaced by people who probably did celebrate 911, it is a political truth.

We all saw pictures of Muslims celebrating. You just don’t like Trump, fine, you are a good little globalist tool. The GOPe thanks you for attacking the only candidate that might be able stop the DC gravy train.
