Trump: 'Many people jumped and I witnessed it' on 9/11
CNN ^ | 11/24/15 | Jeremy Diamond

Posted on 11/24/2015 8:12:35 AM PST by Clint N. Suhks

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.

We ALL saw them, and the bloody pavement
where they landed too.

The media suppressed the rest of the photos in order
not to enrage the public. Where are they now?

We can see photos of Abu Graib but splattered Americans
are too “graphic”?

Thank you so much.

Odd that a plain, ole cameraman managed to get shots of men jumping so that I could see one of the poor souls on my TV hugging (holding tightly) his briefcase and I was watching TV in San Diego, CA that horrid morning.

"I watched that. I have a view -- a view in my apartment that was specifically aimed at the World Trade Center,"
...He saw them on TV. He saw the explosion from his window and then saw people jumping on TV.

Come on.

Fox news is still saying this morning Trump made it all up.

ALL of FoxNews... or one person commenting while on FoxNews?

In the HBO show “9/11: In Memoriam, New York City,” they show several people jumping. You could see them a long ways off, though I doubt four miles away. But you could clearly see the fire and the second plane hit. I’m guessing Trump was going back and forth between live visual and the television screen.

What can the human eye discern with a telescope or binoculars? I guess you’ll now tell me a billionaire in a NYC penthouse absolutely wouldn’t have a pair or an expensive telescope?

As for your Google find, you left out the rest of the story.

Exactly! I know for a fact, I saw the news clip of them cheering onto of a roof top. Nobody can tell me I was seeing things. They were infact cheering which in turned made me pissed.

Now I don’t recall which news reported it, but I clearly saw Muzzies cheering.

Well if anyone knows anything about making stuff up, it’s Faux News.

Unfortunately, the world is a bit more complicated than just one issue.

And even on that one very important issue, can you really trust campaign promises from a candidate who specializes in hyperbole?

“He spends a lot of time clarifying what he said.”

I think that part of his “every guy” image. Speaking precisely and succinctly is not an Every Guy trait.

Cruz communicates similar views, but with more obvious circumspection, but I think he suffers in the polls for it.

That's where he said he was:

"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.

He lives in Trump Tower.
