“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.”
Speaking of stolen valor, I’ll never forget when a veteran gave Trump his purple heart, and Trump’s response was offensive.
Trump didn’t try to reject it before accepting it. He didn’t compliment the vet for his sacrifice or thank him for his service.
No, Trump just said, “I always wanted one of these.” It’s just what anybody who knows Trump would expect. He made it all about himself and what he wants.
The only thing he did during 9/11 was gloat that his building was now the tallest in NYC. And of course that was a lie.
MAGA claiming he meant 9/13 and one liberty plaza.
Why must they always interpret him and just not call out his bullshit.

Most mass shooters have been Republicans, so I don’t think the GOP should be allowed to attend any event with a crowd.
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.

Crazy to think both the towers were filled 100% with Christians.
Or that there were no Muslim first responders or Leos.
What does one’s star sign have to do with it? :P
About as much as being Muslim does
As much as I don’t want to give them credit, LEOs are first responders.
I remember Ronald Reagan mixing up facts with some of his film roles when the dementia struck. I’m sure this is also at least partly Trump losing his grip on reality due to dementia. This man has no business whatsoever in being in charge of a country. He should be in a nursing home.
He should be at the end of a rope.
Reagan would often recount events in films he was in as though they were real-life experiences, even before the dementia kicked in. He was prone to confabulation, though a less prolific liar than Trump. I think that was due to laziness rather than any matter of principle.
He should be in a nursing home.
Well. He should be in prison. But yes.
A grave would be a lot better tbh. No need to keep wasting resources on him.
I don’t disagree, but as someone who believes this life is all we get, he deserves to life in his failing brain, confined to a very small room with an uncomfortable bed, metal toilet, and contemplate all the evil he’s done in his life, knowing that he will never set foot outside of that cage ever again.
Graves are for remembering and honoring the fallen. Dump his carcass into the septic tank of the nearest outhouse, where he can fester with a few other nameless turds, utterly forgotten by everyone.
Nah. We need a grave so we can have something to piss on. Shape it like a urinal too!
Body in the septic tank, but we place this on top and it’s drains into the tank
There’s a couple lies there. No two firemen, no matter how strong, can lift his fat fucking ass up and run with it. Second, the only time Donny has ever tried to run was when he was chasing a little girl.
Not only that but if two working people tried to touch him, he’d freak the fuck out like Andy samberg on “good day”.
When we people learn that fascists have no shame, no care for truth, no care for logic, no care for intelligence? They don’t fucking care, and all they do is laugh when they say things we repeat incredulously.
It’s so stupid I want to die
The absurdity at the end of the world
Trump is a puppet performing to the masters will. His purpose is to distract. (Watch this.)
How fitting for the timing the speaker in the video fortold 9/11 and was then killed November 2001.
LOL! There are a lot of antivax bots in the comments.
No need to bring aliens into this!
