He said he hired hundreds of people to help after 9/11 but there's no evidence of that. He bragged about his building now being the tallest in NY days after. He said there were Muslims cheering on rooftops but no accounts of that exists. 

I've always found that whole thing about Muslims cheering to be absolutely bizarre.

The implications of believing that are truly phenomenal. Like...in order for that to be the case, that means that those Muslims that were celebrating had to know that the people who attacked the World Trade Center were Islamic extremists. It certainly wasn't known immediately after the attack who did it. At least not to the common citizen.

This was in 2001, so there was barely any internet for people to connect all around the world so...how would the terrorists get the message out to all the regular Muslims in America that they were going to plan this attack?

And if they did find a way to alert all the Muslims, such that there could be celebrations on the roofs of buildings following the attack, how did the CIA not intercept that information and prevent the attack somehow?

And if those Muslims were celebrating, does that make them terrorists? Are there just a ton of terrorists that are just walking around America day in and day out who have not committed any acts of terrorism in the last 18 years? Or were these celebrating terrorists the parents of Rizwan Farook, Omar Mateen, maybe the Tsarnaev brothers? As the "best" case scenario of where all these terrorists disappeared to following 9/11?

The degree to which you have to stretch your own perception of reality in order to even conclude that this story is possible, let alone likely, is almost unfathomable.
