Yet again, his supporters don't care about reality. “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 D!ck 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.’ 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,” Trump said. Contrary to Trump’s recollection, the NYSE was closed Sept. 10 through Sept. 17, 2001 — the longest shutdown since the Great Depression. The opening on Sept. 11 was delayed after a plane struck the World Trade Center’s North Tower, and the entire day of trading was called off after a second plane struck the South Tower.
The person who reopened the NYSE was its chief executive at the time, D!ck Grasso — not “D!ck Russell.”http://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-falsely-claims-nyse-reopened-day-9-11-justify...
