Donald Trump on Wednesday sank much lower than the New York City subway, claiming there is a 75% chance that a child alone on the subway will disappear permanently. (Watch the video below.)
The Republican presidential candidate told a rally in Uniondale, New York, that his parents used to drop him off at the subway, at a time he described as safer.
“They weren’t afraid that I would disappear!” he said. “They took me to the subway, turned me on and said, ‘Bye honey, bye.’ If you do that today, there’s about a 75 percent chance that you’ll never see your child again. What the hell happened here? What happened?”
Trump went from his over-the-top lie ― perhaps exaggerated for effect or plucked from some fictional statistics cave in his head ― to a promise to renovate the subway and “get the criminals out of there as fast as possible” if elected.
Many critics look askance at Trump’s recollection of the moment he was dropped off the subway.
Are you sure they didn’t just want you to disappear?

1) didn’t happen or 2) they begged someone to take him away
