More Have Died From 9/11-Related Illnesses Than Died On 9/11: Attorney | Morning Joe | MSNBC

    1. @Jack Neoff don’t know what you mean by that, but, his response to the attack on the world trade center was that ” now he has the tallest building in NYC”.

    2. @TOM SMITH well, given his status as a prominent New Yorker at the time; his reaction that “now I have the tallest building in NYC, and, now we see what a lousy job he’s doing with this pandemic.

      One can only imagine that the only thing he would do is to exploit the tragedy to drastically spread his hatred for muslims on a whole, but cuddling up to the rich muslims in a personal way.

      In other words, I’m positive he’d take advantage of the situation to hugely line his own pockets.

    3. @Robert Alan “you have to put the blame on others” you know ! sometimes, one can only just shake the head, when confronted with such stupidity. Take care, and stay safe.

    4. Lana Kahl Must be cause they’re such “history buffs”. They remember all the way back to when a protester broke a window last month.

  1. America can not handle another four years of the Trump administration we will collapse like the twin towers. Vote in November make America safe again.

    1. YES! BECAUSE I HATE 3.5% UNEMPLOYMENT, ENERGY INDEPENDENCE, GREAT TRADE DEALS LIKE USMCA AND PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST!!

    2. TOM SMITH you believe that? Oh my god. Actually, dm me cos I’m selling London Bridge, and you’re just the savvy customer I’m looking for! 😂😂😂

    1. and BIDEN is that honest man? gtfoh open borders, changes to scotus , stop electoral college? abortions at 9 months , medicare for the world, socialist economy- DEMOCRATS will be the demise of America

  2. More Americans have died & been killed by tRump than American involvement in the Korean War, Vietnam War, WW1 & WW2 & the Gulf Wars & War in Afghanistan!

    1. Bill/William : My statement is self explanatory & I stand by it & endorse it. Only the American Civil War has seen more American Carnage than tRump.

    2. @Jared Jams : Afghanistan War 2372 Americans killed.

      Gulf Wars 219/35 friendly fire

      Vietnam War 58,000.

      Korean War 40,000

      WW2 400,000 Americans killed

      WW1 53,000 Americans killed in combat/63,000 American soldiers died due to Spanish Flu Influenza ( Swine Flu).

      Therefore more Americans have died under Cadetbonespurs tRumps American Carnage War than all the wars combined America was involved in other than WW2 & The American Civil War (600,000). 400,000 Americans are estimated to die from tRumps Covfefe-45 Morona Virus by the end of this yr. & who knows how long this Covid-19 & tRumps American Carnage War are going to last. Help us all if he gets a 2nd term!

  3. Similar to 9/11, those who lost loved ones or suffering from the covid19 disaster, must register their claims against Trump Corporation. There’s usually a 20 year window for all the related claims and compensations. Talk to your legal advisors on how best to maximise your payouts.

  4. I had a dream about a friend of mine who I haven’t thought about in years. She lost a friend from high school in 9/11. That is the only connection I have to anyone who died that day.
    Rest in Peace, all of those lost on that day, and the thousands of first responders who suffered from the result. 🙌🙏❤️

  5. Bin Laden was an amateur, so far Trump has killed 65 times as many Americans as those who died on that horrible day. Lying, playing golf, watching Fox, calling Hannity.

    1. yep, more have died from complications related to covid than died on 9/11 and the divider-in-chief has taken fox news’ demonization of half the country and ran with it to the point that they are calling the other side “evil” and the “enemy”. so during a pandemic, instead of cooperation and coordination between americans, we have violence and threats.

    3. covfefe lol Good grief! I keep up on this stuff, but to see all the repub corruption and criminality and dishonor of our country in one LOOOONG list is still kind of overwhelming.
      Nice work—very effective. I’ll be using your list often.
      Can’t wait to vote 🇺🇸 BLUE 🇺🇸!!

  6. The brave soldiers who came to our defense after 9/11….. Trump and the Republicans….. BETRAYED…. when Trump pulled our troops out of Syria last year!

  7. I remember that morning. Got a call from a friend in New York telling me she was okay. Bless those First Responders who died, and those who are still dying from the toxic ash they breathed rescuing people. Bless the families of those who lost loved ones. Yes, we have lost MANY more to Covid. Republicans and trump only talking about what was done right is BS. When Americans die in battle and from other reasons, we want to know what went WRONG. I’m in Alabama, and our schools are not even testing for Covid until someone is sick. That’s TOO LATE. They’re very/most contagious before they ever have symptoms (asymptomatic). The Alabama State Education Board says it’s because of HIPPA and other privacy reasons. They also said they don’t want to stigmatize students who get sick. Supposedly, rapid tests are coming but won’t be used. Parents can sign waivers and releases for testing. Most would. I just hope somebody reading this can help. ALL schools in America should be doing random or “pool” testing. Contact tracing is more complicated once someone is sick and has infected goodness knows how many others. Sigh. Thanks MSNBC!

  8. Those who survived 9/11, especially those who risked their lives saving those trapped within, deserve the utmost respect and the utmost care.

  9. Hopefully on the 20th anniversary we will have a President who will honor those who were lost and those who have continued to sacrifice for their fellow Americans.

  10. The vaccine should be tested on GOP politicians first. If they survive, the vaccine is safe. If they don’t, then the country is safe.

  11. A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves among those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”

    ― Taylor Caldwell, A Pillar of Iron

    1. Wow! Taylor Caldwell! Haven’t heard or thought of that Great Author in many years, thanks for bringing her to mind 💙💙💙💙💙💙🤔👍😁

  12. And the survivor first responders had to go to Congress and beg for money to pay for medical care and expenses for the long term illnesses they sustained because they went above and beyond that day and in the following days. I have yet to meet or know a first responder who went into the profession for the money or because it’s an easy job. Most think it’s a privilege to be able to help others when they’re injured or too sick to help themselves.

    1. If trump thinks our military is suckers, what do you think the REPUBLICANS think of THEM? They are ignoring the HEROES ACT for TrumpVirus First Responders…

  13. Yet another case of a Republican administration lying to the public, telling everyone the air was safe–It Wasn’t!! At all!!
