I was in Westchester on 9/11. I was in Manhattan the next day. The flyers everywhere, crossing Sixth Avenue *against the light* at five in the evening, the plume hanging halfway up the sky, the hush, the horror, the shock, and the smell. I'll never forget that smell.
There are a thousand things that should have disqualified Donald Trump from ever getting anywhere close to the position he's currently in, but bragging about the height of his building before the sun had even set on the destruction is exceptionally high on the list.
This makes me even sadder than I thought possible, that millions of people voted for this guy, despite all the provable lies. I'm fairly sure many of them were, if not outright happy (because this was an an attack on America, after all), almost glad that this tragedy happened in New York, home of elitist liberals, even though hundreds of the people who lost their lives were no doubt middle and lower on the social-economic scale.
Unfortunately, none of those in the MAGAverse will read or listen to anything negative about their beloved leader -- despite verifiable evidence -- who is just as racist, self-centered, and yes, stupid, as they are.
I worked downtown. Was at work that morning. The smell lingered for what felt like months in my West Village neighborhood. The fliers everywhere. I HATE that day.

He represents the worst of us. And half of "us" voted for him. I. Just. Don't. F*ckin. Get. It.
You speak the literal truth, Jeff. Unbelievable, yet here we are.
He has always been a despicable human. How or why some continue to choose to ignore it is beyond me.
Thank you for reminding people and putting proof of his early narcissism and pathology in one place/article.

With Trump you’re on board because you’re a grifter, racist, or a fool. You can be a combo of the three as most of his cabinet demonstrates.
November is coming. Make your plan and if needed, show up in person.

I don't get it either! It's unbelievable, yet as Jeff says, "Here we are!" God help us!
