President Donald Trump has for years told false or unproven stories about what he supposedly saw and did on 9/11 and soon after. As the 25th anniversary of the terror attack approaches, Trump told another story at the White House on Tuesday — in which he claimed to have been carried away by firefighters amid fears of an imminent building collapse at some point after the attack.

At 6:30 p.m. that same day, CNN’s ... 9/11 Attack,” which begins: President Donald Trump has for years told false or unproven stories about what he supposedly saw and did on 9/11 and soon after....

They lifted me up and they started running with me. I said, ‘Fellas, I can run myself,’ but they were amazing.” There is no evidence backing up Mr. Trump’s claim about the firefighters carrying him to safety shortly after the attack.

Donald Trump often brings up September 11, the devastating al-Qaida attack that struck his home town New York City almost 25 years ago. His recollections of that day have repeatedly included exaggerations and falsehoods – including this week, when he shared an anecdote at a White House event commemorating the attacks that appears to be untrue.

Trump, who said in his remarks that he was “down there right after this happened,” later said on Truth Social that he was not at the World Trade Center “on the same day as the collapse, but shortly thereafter.” · “Everything I said was exactly accurate,” he said of his remarks at the Ellipse outside the White House, sharing a TV news clip of him speaking after the attacks. Asked for more clarity about Trump’s timeline and actions following 9/11, White House spokesperson Davis Ingle said he “was relaying his experience of a city reeling immediately after and in the days and weeks after the horrific attacks.”

But the notion that Trump was inside the building and rushed out by firefighters has not been corroborated by any evidence. The president has offered versions of the same account before, though in less colorful form.

I said ‘Fellas, I can run myself’, but they were amazing.” · People at the scene have denied ever seeing Mr Trump amid the rubble, and there is no evidence that he was removed from any area by firefighters.
