Trump justifies continuing rallies after synagogue shooting with a lie

“With what happened early today, that horrible, horrible attack in Pittsburgh, I was saying maybe I should cancel both this and that. And then I said to myself, I remembered Dick Russell, a friend of mine, great guy, he headed up the New York Stock Exchange on September 11th, and the New York Stock Exchange was open the following day,” Trump said during a campaign rally in Illinois. “He said—and what they had to do to open it you wouldn’t believe, we won’t even talk to you about it. But he got that exchange open. We can’t make these sick, demented, evil people important.

It didn’t open. Even though he claims the New York Stock Exchange opened the day after September 11 attacks.

The NYSE was closed from September 11-September 17.

Donnie Umbrage (Umbridge) is a liar. And he relies on the ineptitude of his supporters to believe what he says without fact checking. It's always worked for him and it always will. He and his live in a very strange alternate reality.
