9/11 attacks (9/11/2001)
I'd like to tell you a story. About a woman named Tania Head. On the face of it, hers was a most harrowing story. In the middle of flames and choking smoke, a fireman lifted her to safety. Sadly, her fiancé, Dave, died. Whether it was smoke, fire, or collapse, we really don't know. But she did make it to the hospital, where her arm slowly healed. But she did make it. And a few years after the attack, she contacted the survivors' network. Her skill in contacting leaders and persuading them was, indeed, impressive. She soon became the president of the group.
Just one thing.
It was all a big, honking lie.
Governor Pataki got snowed.
Mayor Giuliani got snowed.
All of the survivors got snowed.
I'm not saying that all these were stupid or gullible. At the very least, people got associates' degrees. The lion's share got bachelors' degrees or higher, many from prestigious colleges or universities. But Tania Head knew what to do. And she bilked them. It wasn't until four years later that she got found out.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump is bilking you.
So what are you going to do about it???
