“He created a fictitious event featuring himself, who did nothing, as the hero of 9/11.”
While Republicans express “offense” at plans for New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani to attend September 11 remembrances this week due to his Muslim faith, President Donald Trump provoked outrage on Tuesday when he told what seems to be a fabricated story about his heroism following the terrorist attack.
Before a crowd that included over 100 first responders, Trump described being at ground zero with a construction crew he said he’d deployed to help with the aftermath of the attack. He described walking beneath the US Steel building, now known as One Liberty Plaza, which was believed to be at risk of collapsing.
“The United States Steel Building was creaking, really creaking, and we thought it was going to fall down. The truth is, it creaked a lot. It creaked. It still creaks, but it never came down,” Trump recalled. “And I’ll never forget two firemen. We thought it was coming down on top of us, and two firemen, big, strong guys—and I’m not the smallest guy in the world—they grabbed me under the arm, said, ‘Got to get out of here!’ And they literally lifted me up.”
“This is not easy to do. I’m big,” Trump continued. “They lifted me up, and they started running with me. I said, ‘Fellas, I can run myself,’ but they were amazing. But they thought it was coming down. It didn’t come down.”
What even is the story?
I was in a place and a thing creaked and I ran away with some assistance.
Amazing. Loser.
The suggestion is that he was there “to help” and was staying despite the danger, but two burly underlings pulled him out because unlike their keen-eyed master, they were unable to assess the strength of the structure, or were perhaps simply not as brave as he.
Its like Hilary Clinton inventing an incident where she came under sniper fire at Belgrade airport. They like to pretend they’re more involved in events than they were.
Who gives a shit about a washed up has-been politician from a decade agk? This chucklefuck is actually in-office right now fucking the country over.
Was she President at the time?
