Escalation: Trump Attacks New Magazine Over 9/11 Claims

Donald Trump used Truth Social to attack New York Magazine for challenging his account of where he was after 9/11. He wrote, “I was there, obviously not on the same day as the collapse, but shortly thereafter, with a large group of Construction Workers.” That sets his own timeline to after the towers fell, not on the day they came down.

At a speech on the Ellipse the same day, he said he took a construction crew to Ground Zero “right after this happened” and described a nearby building starting to creak. He said two firefighters grabbed him under the arms, lifted him, and ran with him at the U.S. Steel Building, telling him, “Gotta get out of here.”
