Trump said he was at 'Ground Zero' on 9/11 - saved by 2 firemen

[left-of-center2012]

Trump spins new 9/11 tale about 'two big firemen' pulling him to safety after he 'heard creaks'. Former president Donald Trump on Tuesday night claimed he was pulled to safety by "two big firemen" on 9/11 when he "heard creaks" at Ground Zero and predicted a nearby building would collapse — which it never did.

"We were hearing creaks, I've never forgotten it, it was I think the United States Steel Building it was called at the time, and it's 50 stories tall, and we heard creaks," Trump said. "I said 'that building is going to come down,' and two big firemen grabbed me, and grabbed other people, and they just moved us out of that area. Never came down but I never heard a noise like that. And it was a scary situation …"

Trump also repeated longstanding claims that he helped out after the attacks — which he's never proven — but Vice News notes that his story about the "two big firemen" pulling him to safety on 9/11 appears to be brand new.

Vice News reports "Though Trump did go down near Ground Zero in the days after the attack, there's no evidence that he helped—and evidence that he didn't follow through on promises to help."

3. Oh yeah, he just remembered!

And then he saw Bill and Hillary Clinton standing in the street laughing at all the death and destruction. Honest!

[lagomorph777]

4. I think in the previous version of the story, he saved the firemen.

Maybe he got tired of being laughed at.

[Orangepeel]

30. that's the *next* version

[brooklynite]

6. My wife worked in that building...

There was some initial concern that it might EVENTUALLY collapse. If Trump was in the building (not clear why he’d be there at 8:30 in the morning) what likely happened if anything did was that Firemen were sent in to order the evacuation of the building, and someone pushed him towards the stairs.

[StarfishSaver]

8. Except he wasn't anywhere near the building that day.

[PatSeg]

15. I seriously doubt he was in that building that morning

It's funny how new memories come out whenever it suits him. "I've never forgotten it", yet he didn't bother to mention it until now. His lies lack substance or credibility, but he makes up for it with quantity. I've known some prolific liars in my life, but none come close to this guy.

So I wonder where he'll remember being next year on 9/11.

[A HERETIC I AM]

22. "So I wonder where he'll remember being next year on 9/11. "

In the cockpit of Flight 93 fighting for control. A big guy with tears in his eyes pulled him to safety just before it crashed in Pennsylvania.

[PatSeg]

35. Ha, ha, ha!!!

I can hear him saying it as read those words!

[ProfessorGAC]

28. Didn't That Tool Say...

...that he saw Muslims in New Jersey cheering the collapse?
Obviously, he couldn't be in both states at the same time!

[Ligyron]

34. Beat me to it Professor!

But I also heard he was in Gaza personally chastising the cheering Mooselims.

[PatSeg]

36. Yes, who can forget that story

He doesn't even try to make his stories plausible.

[madaboutharry]

7. He is a very sick man.

The man has some kind of severe psychiatric illness.

[SoonerPride]

11. Narcissistic Personality Disorder

on a scale that is off the charts

[Trueblue1968]

21. He is a very EVIL man. ... AS IN ANTI-CHRIST EVIL. As in "Of The Devil"

[Grammy23]

24. Some day (if only it could be now)

When you go look up pathological liar in the dictionary, there will just be a picture of tRump.

I am thinking that the psychiatrists and psychologists are having a field day with the studies they could do to learn about what ALL of the diagnoses associated with him turn out to be. There are many, many labels that have been put on tRump but suffice it to say, he is one sick puppy. And just our luck, we had to be alive when he was contaminating the Oval Office. 😩😵😵‍💫

[Skittles]

39. he hates being upstaged by anything

a national tragedy, a virus, it's always about HIM

[BlueIdaho]

9. Oh for fucks sake...

Have you ever met a pathological liar? They are incredible. They will stand there and tell you things that are such obvious lies with so much conviction you almost feel sorry for them. They are so empty, so needy, so obvious - all you can do is shake your head…

TFG is a nothing, he’s a nobody, and deep down inside he knows it.

[3catwoman3]

17. If he were an actual black hole in the universe, there would be nothing...

...left because he would have sucked in every molecule of matter/energy and it still wouldn't be enough.

[WA-03 Democrat]

10. Before the creaking

He saw the Mooselambs cheering it on too.

This man is an abomination.

[meadowlander]

12. Well, that story has evolved.

10 years ago he said he was in his apartment in Manhattan

Before that he said he saw people in Jersey City cheering.

[ProfessorGAC]

29. I Remember The Jersey Thing

So, now he was in THREE places at the same time.

[riversedge]

13. Trump lies. nothing more to be said.

[GoCubsGo]

14. And, they claim it's Biden who is in mental decline?

This is what you get when you have a compulsive liar whose brain is rotting from a lifetime of not exercising and eating nothing but junk food, along with probable "COVID brain," and possibly untreated syphilis. If he were any other person, I would say, "Shame on you!" to those who allowing him to prattle on in public like this. But, I suspect that his family hates him so much, they're allowing him to make an ass of himself as much as possible, just out of sheer vindictiveness.

[Grasswire2]

16. Didn't he originally claim to watching the attack from a distance, out a window? nt

[FoxNewsSucks]

19. That's what he used to say.

Thought it was a "bad pilot" then claimed to see muslims dancing in the street.

[C_U_L8R]

18. Trump is an asshole

What kind of self-serving shitstain contrives such bullshit.

I was there, Trump wasn't.

[Champp]

20. Republicans live and breath to swallow lies. They eat the lies up. They shit the lies out.

So sad. So sick.

[durablend]

23. I thought he single-handedly saved hundreds of lives.

You mean it isn't true?

[doc03]

25. I thought it was Trump that saved two firemen

:

[MurrayDelph]

26. By next year

he'll claim he was killed in the crash.

[marble falls]

27. Such a fibber ...

32. Did they call him "sir" while having tears in their eyes?

[JuJuChen]

33. for the record, you lost me in this thread

the minute I read "Trump said...."

[AngryOldDem]

37. How dare he.

He can go straight to hell.

Cowardly, lying sack of SHIT.

[spanone]

38. When a man lies about everything, everything he says is meaningless.
