Trump claims firefighters carried him to safety ‘right after’ 9/11, but his account is disputed

As the 25th anniversary of 9/11 approaches, Donald Trump has lashed out at the press over coverage questioning where he was. This week, he said two firefighters carried him to safety near the US Steel Building right after the attacks, though he later said that he wasn’t at the World Trade Center on the day of the collapse. His version of events, and alleged role at Ground Zero have evolved many times over the years, as Vedika Bahl fact-checks in Truth or Fake.
