Re: Trump suggested that while he's never referred to himself as a 9/11 first responder, he did make sure that everyone knew that he was one of the people who was at ground zero during the clean-up...

...I don't think Trump sat down and figured out how to file for these funds. His time is too valuable to spend on anything so trivial. Probably one of his minions who hang around in any sufficiently large organization. Wanted something impressive to put in his "Accomplishments" file. A real ass kisser.

Re: "He is a real shithead, he also benefited financially from 9/11! ... he cashed in, collecting $150,000 in federal funds intended to help small businesses recover — even though days after the attack Trump said his properties were not affected."

Are you too stupid to know the difference between physical damage and economic damage? Yes, of course you are.

Economic damage, clo, happens if a business that may not have suffered any physical damage from a disaster suffers financial damage as a result of it. The classic example is a business on a road that gets closed due to a landslide. The business is undamaged physically, but it suffers lost income for the next year as it awaits road repairs and the restoration of its customers. That's called ECONOMIC damage.

Since New York City businesses were all impacted economically by 9/11 (the entire country was, really), Donald Trump was eligible for relief.

Now, personally, I don't think ANYONE should be entitled to government assistance when a disaster strikes. That's why you take out insurance and avoid certain areas (Southern California, flood zones, New Orleans, etc), but I'm in the minority. The programs are there and Donald Trump had every right to partake in the assistance programs that were offered. He is, after all, a taxpaper, and taxes pay for these things.

Glad to have helped. Too bad you've never took the trouble to educate yourself about these things. It would have made for a better life. I marvel, really, that you even managed to survive seventy years. I'd have expected you to be a statistic in one of those 'Darwin Award Winner' books about people who manage to kill themselves in imbecilic ways...
