Did y’all know the ny stock exchange was open the day after 9/11?
Trump does.

While the president referenced “Dick Russell, a friend of mine,” the head of the NYSE at the time was actually named Dick Grasso. Dick Russell was a senator from Georgia who defended segregation.

This one pisses me off. My spouse's employer at the time was one of many companies that worked tirelessly and around the clock for six days to get the NYSE back on line after the terrorist attacks. Was President Trump conscious the week after September 11th?

No , he all so lied about seeing people cheering when the Towers came down ,trump=clown.
Trump and Fox are now lying again. Trump, who wants to own the news cycle everyday, cannot handle the fact that the entire nation is seeing how he lies.
Trump up and tweeting about himself. Not being able to understand that the crazy people have acted based on the anger and fear he has created.
Not clicking on the compost. I asked for cake and you said some other guy had some at his house but never provided any real cake. I asked for examples from Trump himself not some third person. I haven’t seen that.
Did you happen to see/hear his statements over the weekend about the stock exchange opening after 9/11?
The statement:
“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.’ 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.”
The stock exchange did not open the “following day.”
It reopened in the 17th.
Further:
“A few minutes later in his speech, Trump also incorrectly claimed that professional sports teams like the New York Yankees did not cancel any games as a result of the terrorist attacks on 9/11.
“Remember the teams, the Yankees, George Steinbrenner. He said, ‘We have got to play, even if nobody comes. Nobody shows up, we have got to play.”
As SB Nation points out, Major League Baseball commissioner Bud Selig actually canceled the games for the evening of Sept. 11 and later canceled all of the games scheduled for that week. The entire season was pushed back a full week.”
