Donald Trump signed the permanent extension of the 9/11 extensions victims compensation fund on Monday, but before he did, he joked that the 9/11 first responders he invited to the stage shouldn’t worry about it collapsing because if it did, they wouldn’t fall “very far.”
Trump said, “Now I am going to sign this bill into law, and I don’t know if this stage will hold it, but if it doesn’t, we are not falling very far.”
Trump also suggested that immediately following the September 11th attacks he helped out with the cleanup efforts at Ground Zero, a claim that’s been frequently disputed. (Daily Beast)
