President Trump Makes Unsubstantiated Claims Regarding 9/11 Actions at Ground Zero
President Trump delivered remarks at the Tunnel to Towers Foundation’s Steel Across America event in Washington, D.C., where he recounted an unsubstantiated story about his actions during the September 11, 2001, attacks. He claimed that he was working on a 'big building' when the attacks occurred and sent his entire construction crew to Ground Zero. Furthermore, President Trump stated that the building now known as One Liberty Plaza was 'creaking' and at risk of collapse, and that two firefighters carried him away from the U.S. Steel Building, believing it was in danger. According to the source, there is no evidence to support President Trump's presence at Ground Zero on that day. He was reportedly interviewed from Trump Tower and incorrectly asserted that his building at 40 Wall Street had become the tallest in downtown Manhattan.
