Two videos of Trump explaining where he was on 9/11.
1. Trump in 2001, saying he was in his office, which is 6.6 km from the World Trade Center:

@randahl making every event about him, starring him, centering around him, because if it’s not all about him, he loses
@randahl He was never anywhere near any of it.
@randahl The fact that he is lying exonerates the firefighters.
@randahl
On one hand, you are probably right.
On the other hand, what better place for a photo op?
@randahl
Please don't underestimate Donald Trump! Captain America and Superman could take a page from his book!
He was certainly at the forefront of the rescue teams; I wouldn’t be surprised if he had been the first to enter the collapsing World Trade Center.
In yesterday's 9/11 lie, Trump made it clear that he was referring to a day or two after the 11th. Not the day he watched the towers from 6km away.
Of course, there is zero evidence he brought men to help at Ground Zero. And given his publicity efforts even then, he certainly would have done so on camera.
@TCatInReality yes, he says he went down there "right after".
So he is not claiming to be at US Steel as the Twin Towers fall.
@randahl
The quote I saw was:
'And I went down there very shortly thereafter, the following day. You couldn’t go down the same day, but like, the following day, very quickly afterwards, and we worked long and hard, but it was just so terrible, so hopeless"
In classic Trump fashion, he says so many contradictory and incomplete things, he is hard to pin down.
Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies
Tell me lies (tell me, tell me lies)
Oh no, no, you can't disguise
You can't disguise (no, you can't disguise)
Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies
@randahl compulsary lying nothing more
2. Trump in 2026 explaining he was saved by firefighters when they thought the US Steel building right across the street from the twin towers would fall down.
In theory, possible, but knowing Trump, I highly doubt that he would go to the center of the accident right after the Twin Towers fell and the place was a dangerous disaster zone.
