Imagine the self restraint to wait two and a half decades to tell this story for the first time.

Trump claims he was basically lifted out of the rubble on 9/11: "Two fireman, big strong guys, they grabbed me under the arms -- 'got to get our of here!' -- and they literally lifted me up, and they started running with me."

Hear how he keeps mentioning us steel? He means a building in the same area as the towers. At the time there was some worry that it was damaged and might fall. What needs to happen is figuring out whether he was down there. The story is a lie regardless. But it needs to be called out accurately .

If it was actually true, the 2 firefighters would have been on stage with him everything day since then. He lies about every-fuckin-thing

He's a very humble person, but he was forced to do it on this memorable occasion. He is so emotional about the trauma that he can't go back to NYC for the anniversary. There are just too many memories of his near death experience. Thank god for those first responders who rescued him to MAGA.

some people are saying he told the story at least once before, in 2016. The guy comes up so many inane and insulting idiocies that it's hard to keep track.

There was a phone interview with him on 9-11-01 from either his apartment or office just after things happened and he was bragging about how he had the tallest building after that other building near the towers fell (amongst other BS). Is anybody pulling out that interview? I think it was CBS.

Not just that, but the absolute commitment to willingly telling easily-provable lies about literally everything else he's done in that time no matter how big or small, even when he didn't have to! Now that's some serious dedication to performance art.

What a disgraceful statement to make.. everyone of the heroes who actually fought, to save lives on that horrible day and those whose health was compromised because of their actions is deserving an apology from this narcissistic liar.

We know if this story about Trump was true he'd never stopped talking about it He's going insane and trying to take us along with him The victims of 911 deserve better than this stolen valor

I’m sure the Children of the White House wrote that made up story for him! They’re All So Dumb and Childish. What happened to the Intelligent People in Washington? Complete imbeciles is what the Greedy Republicans are. Vote Them All Out!!!!!

“Big, I’m talking big, men. Real men, tears in their eyes. Young, attractive guys, and that doesn’t make me happy, I dunno. But they LIFT me, like Jesus musta felt, from the rubble I’m working in, but do I get credit? Do I get a Nobel prize for being there AND the tallest building? No It’s rigged. “

It will morph into - he alone saved hundreds of lives as he scaled the building before it fell and had each person climb on his back as he climbed down like Spiderman

How irresponsible of all the Trump employees who did not go bravely into the rubble with him to rescue people. Surely if they had done so they would have acclaimed his (and their) response before now. But apparently he went alone. Absolutely no one else saw him acting so bravely. Strange, that.

Well he lied Amazing He was never there he wasn't in the ruble he was prob driving or running away from the area once he knew the first building was compromised Basically a coward presidents a #trumpCOWARD he is the perfect benidicked assnold that #maga deserve as coward & thief of the military

Trump, racism—what actually happened changed the story. The story was that a woman saw a few Israelis dancing behind the building while it was on fire and taking photos, so she called the police.

I know you know this and I’m only saying it because this was the first joke that popped into my head, but he did try to make it about himself on 9/11 when he was able to immediately see how it was good for him.

I was just thinking about that. He has done hundreds of speeches since he entered politics, if this was actual true he would have mentioned it everytime 9/11 came up in conversation

Too stupid to know he's stupid, too loopy to know he's loopy, too self-obsessed to know that everybody in the world knows he's mentally and emotionally sicker everyday. 😆

Bull sh*t runs deep! The crazy dipsh*t can't tell the truth if his life depended on it! Take this gpa to the looney bin! Vote out the republican morons who disgraced America w/this f*cking clown!

That's the perfect framing to prove without a shred of doubt that his story is 100% false. He hallucinates more than AI. Why the hell would he make a fool of himself on a global stage by inventing even more lies (than the usual evasive ones) that anyone can instantly disprove with common sense?

Many don't know about the third plane heading towards the towers. That's because I stood in the World Trade window and flexed my chest and repelled that plane back to where it came from.

Hes full of shit! I was a teacher in lower Manhattan my 4th grade students were traumatized from that days events. I’m offended by his demented rhetoric. How dare he continue to insult the victims of this day including the first responders. This should be the nail in his coffin. Vote his ass out!
