Trump Revisits 911 Ground Zero Claims | Birmingham News

Trump reclaims his Ground Zero story, insisting he was there shortly after 9/11—not on the day of the collapse—and shared photos with construction workers. He recounted being rescued by firefighters amid fears of a collapsing building, painting a visceral picture of the devastation. Critics are questioning the accuracy of his account, reigniting past fact-checking debates. Meanwhile, The New York Times stands firm against Trump’s demand for a retraction over his attendance at a 9/11 commemoration, calling it typical of his backlash to unfavorable coverage. Trump also defended his absence from the official ceremony, claiming politicians aren’t allowed to speak there, and again slammed “fake news” outlets for their reporting.
