Trump claims firefighters carried him from ground zero days after 9/11 attack 9SEP26

 

THIS just proves NOT MY pres drumpf/trump is a sick, twisted drippings ( the best part of him ran down someone's or something's leg ). It is so disgusting he actually feels it it appropriate for him to try to manipulate the sacred memory of the thousands of victims of the 9/11 2001 attacks and aftermath so that he would be the center of attention on this, the 25th anniversary of these terrorist attacks. His extreme narcissism, psychopathy and sociopathy are on full display, and are generating the revulsion and anger across the country and the world he deserves. This from ABC News

Trump claims firefighters carried him from ground zero days after 9/11 attack

Trump said there were fears a nearby building would collapse during his visit.

President Donald Trump, at an event earlier this week honoring those who died in the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attack, claimed that firefighters carried him away from ground zero when he visited the site in the days after the 9/11 attacks. It’s part of an evolution of the president's claims about his involvement in events in the days and weeks following the attack.

"I was building a big building in New York, and I took the whole crew down there right after this happened," Trump said during Tuesday’s Tunnel to Towers Foundation's event, repeating one of his claims that he brought hundreds of construction workers to ground zero after the 9/11 attack.

"The United States Steel building was creaking, really creaking, and we thought it was going to fall down," Trump said of what appeared to be a wobbly building, now known as One Liberty Plaza, nearby.

"We thought it was coming down on top of us, and two firemen, big, strong guys. And I'm not the smallest guy in the world. They grabbed me under the arms, said, 'Got to get out of here.' And they literally lifted me up. This is not easy to do. I’m big. They lifted me up and they started running with me,” Trump continued.

White House spokesperson Davis Ingle said Trump was "relaying his experience of a city reeling" in the aftermath of the attacks, but shared no proof the incident occurred. Ingle pointed to online posts from the president on Tuesday night of images of him in New York City in the days after the attacks.

Trump's posts were prompted after New York Magazine called his story about the firefighters a "weird lie about where he was on 9/11."

"I was there, obviously not on the same day as the collapse, but shortly thereafter, with a large group of Construction Workers,” Trump posted on social media on Tuesday, adding of his speech earlier in the day, "everything I said was exactly accurate."

It is not the first time Trump has told a version of this story, though there is no evidence it happened.

"I've never seen anything like I saw, and they heard a screech, and everybody thought that the U.S. Steel building was coming down and it was not so far from us," Trump said at a campaign event in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, in January 2016. "And these two guys there were massive guys, two really big -- because I'm a big guy and they grabbed me. I must tell you, honestly, I never knew I could run that fast."

Over the years, Trump has made several other unsubstantiated claims about 9/11. One of those was that he saw the attack firsthand, though Trump Tower is four miles away from the site.

"I was looking out from a building in midtown Manhattan directly at the World Trade Center when I saw a second plane, at a tremendous speed, go into the second tower," Trump said at an anniversary event in 2019.

He also claimed to witness thousands of Muslim celebrating the attack.

"Hey, I watched when the World Trade Center came tumbling down. And I watched in Jersey City, New Jersey, where thousands and thousands of people were cheering as that building was coming down," Trump told rally goers in Birmingham, Alabama, in 2015. "Thousands of people were cheering."

It has never been confirmed that those massive celebrations happened, and Trump's campaign at the time failed to provide proof.

Recalling the US Secret Service's seen and unseen heroism on 9/11

Giuliani told Mamdani to stay home on 9/11. Mamdani came, shook his hand, and stood with four presidents.

Twenty-five years ago nineteen al-Qaeda hijackers murdered 2,977 people, among them 343 firefighters who climbed the towers while everyone else ran down. Osama bin Laden called the killing holy war and justified it with grievances over American troops in Saudi Arabia and U.S. policy in the Middle East.

Muslim leaders from Cairo to Tehran condemned it.

The wars that followed killed hundreds of thousands of people overseas. At home, New York's Muslims paid too.

With help from the CIA, the NYPD built a unit that mapped where they lived, shopped, and prayed, put informants in mosques and student groups, and listened in at their cafes. In 2012 the head of the intelligence division admitted under oath that it had never produced a single terrorism lead. The unit was shut down in 2014.

Last November the city elected a 34-year-old Muslim from Queens as mayor.

This month the men who led New York that day said he should stay away: Giuliani, former Gov. George Pataki, and Thomas Von Essen, the fire commissioner in 2001. A man whose wife died in the attacks started a petition that passed 100,000 signatures.

Giuliani went further. He said the mayor doesn't agree 9/11 was an Islamic terrorist attack, and said of Muslims, "they want to dominate us." Curtis Sliwa, the Republican Mamdani beat, called the push to keep him out "ridiculous."

Mamdani said the day belonged to the families and first responders, and he spent the week with them. On September 2 he stood at FDNY headquarters in Brooklyn as 36 more names went on the department's World Trade Center wall. Those members were killed by what they breathed on the pile.

The wall now holds 438 names, more than the 343 who died on the day. "You ran toward horror so that others could run toward home," he told them.

On Tuesday he released 170,000 pages of city records on that air. They include 68 boxes the city said it couldn't locate for years despite public-records requests. One October 2001 memo to Giuliani's deputy mayor braced for as many as 10,000 lawsuits over toxic exposure and laid out ways to limit the city's liability. "People got sick because the leaders they trusted lied," Mamdani said.

This morning he posted a video. "September 11th was a horrific act of terror," it opens. "2,753 universes gone in an instant."

Then he went to Ground Zero, where four former presidents sat for the reading of the names. He found Giuliani in the crowd and put out his hand. ABC7's camera was rolling. Five days after telling the mayor to stay home, Giuliani shook it.

We will never forget September 11: the 2,977 people murdered, and the firefighters who kept dying of the air long after the towers fell. A Muslim mayor standing with the families this morning is a testament to the spirit of an America that refuses to hand the killers what they wanted, a country divided by fear of its own neighbors.

Five days after telling him to stay home, Giuliani shook his hand.

Donald Trump Makes a New 9/11 Claim 25 Years After the Attacks

September 7, 2026

By vipuldhawas

9/11 is an incident that no one in the nation can forget, and now, 25 years after the attacks, Donald Trump, who has been in the headlines for his statements, has spoken about the tragedy in a way that could leave the nation surprised.

Donald Trump makes a new claim about his role at Ground Zero after 9/11

President appeared in an interview with Fox on Sunday, during which Donald Trump recalled the World Trade Center attack and discussed his role at Ground Zero after 9/11.

“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,” he added.

The 80-year-old had made claims about visiting the site before, but according to The Daily Beast’s coverage, this may be the first time Trump has given a specific date for the trip.

The US president previously made the claim during a 2019 signing ceremony at the White House for a bill providing funding to support the health of first responders. In addition, during a 2021 interview, the Republican Party member also claimed that he had safely rescued two senior firefighters from a building he believed could collapse. However, on both occasions, he did not specify exactly when the incident took place.

However, former New York Fire Department Deputy Chief Richard Alles, who attended the 2019 signing ceremony and was among those who helped in the aftermath, said he never saw Donald Trump at the site. According to Alles, he himself spent several months there.

Talking about the World Trade Center tragedy, the devastating incident took place on September 11, 2001. Nearly 3,000 people, including the terrorists, lost their lives in the attacks.

Deathly design gaffe spotted as Trump coin goes on sale to deluge of derision 2SEP26

 

THE mention of death and drumpf/trump in this headline got me all twitterpated but the fact is NOT MY pres drumpf/trump and his neo-nazi fascist administration and the gop / greed over people-republican party have a goal of killing democracy in America and establishing their authoritarian theocratic oligarchy. No doubt they pushed getting this coin created with the dates on it because they thought it would be a celebratory coin for the death of democracy after the 2026 Midterm elections. We all know they are wrong about the Midterms but the grim reaper may exercise other options. This from RawStory.....

Deathly design gaffe spotted as Trump coin goes on sale to deluge of derision

Daniel Hampton

September 02, 2026

The U.S. Mint began selling its new $1 coin stamped with President Donald Trump's face on Wednesday, and the internet instantly ridiculed the launch.

The coin, gold-colored but struck from base metal, sells in 25-coin rolls for $61 and 100-coin bags for $154.50 as part of the Mint's series marking America's 250th birthday. The Mint told buyers to "check your pocket change," noting the dollars are "also in circulation."

But internet detectives quickly zeroed in on the fuzzy economics of the coin, as well as the ominous implication etched into it.

"Deal of the century right here folks," wrote The Bulwark's Sam Stein. "You can purchase 25, $1 Trump coins for the price of.... $61."

The Bulwark's Catherine Rampell homed in on the "1776 ~ 2026" dual date.

"I like that this design appears to show the birth date of liberty as 1776, and its death as 2026," she quipped. Progressive media group MeidasTouch quote-posted the Mint's announcement with a one-word review: "Accurate," also pointing to the curious birth and death dates of liberty.

Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) used the rollout to bash the administration's economic record, ticking off rising gas, grocery and utility costs.

"[T]rump and Republicans have mismanaged the American economy," he wrote, pointing to prices at the pump and the checkout line. "So what are trump and Republicans focused on? See below. November is coming." He added a jab at the portrait: "(Also, why is trump wearing a wig)?"

Conservative writer David Frum pointed out a glaring historical comparison.

"The Caesars and Napoleon won some wars before stamping their images on the coinage of their fallen republics," he wrote.

Trump is only the second U.S. president depicted on a coin during his lifetime, after Calvin Coolidge on a 1926 commemorative half dollar. Critics have decried that the design flouts federal law barring living people from U.S. currency, but a federal court declined to block it. The administration said the 2020 law authorizing the 250th-anniversary coins makes it legal.

BREAKING: King Carney Just Yanked $4.7 Billion Out of America’s Rail Industry So Trump Melted Down On Camera Calling Canada a Bigger Threat Than Russia And China.

The beatings will continue until he's gone, America. Sorry, not sorry.

Dean Blundell

Sep 03, 2026

Woah.

Okay. Let’s do this properly because it happened fast and it happened big.

What Carney actually did today

Thursday afternoon, Mark Carney walked into the Alstom plant in Thunder Bay and announced that the federal government is spending more than $4.7 billion to build and maintain 313 brand-new passenger rail cars for VIA Rail. In Canada. Built by Canadians. In Thunder Bay and La Pocatière, Quebec, with the design and engineering work done in Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville.

This is the largest investment in Via Rail’s history. It is the first time in four decades that Via’s passenger cars will be built entirely on Canadian soil. Roughly 700 jobs across Ontario and Quebec. Ottawa figures north of $1.6 billion in economic spinoff.

Here is the part that matters, and the part that made America’s R*pist-in-Chief snap like a child with Dementia.

Those cars used to be built in the United States.

Not anymore.

Cars that used to be built in the United States will be built right here, by the best workers in the world. That was the line. That was the whole point of the day. He stood in a Canadian factory and told American rail manufacturers they just lost the VIA Rail contract for a generation.

More than 300 Via Rail cars will be built in Canada in shift to domestic production, Carney says

BILL CURRYDEPUTY OTTAWA BUREAU CHIEF

OTTAWA

PUBLISHED YESTERDAY

The federal government will spend $4.7-billion to build and maintain more than 300 Via Rail passenger rail cars in Canada, using facilities in Quebec and Thunder Bay, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Thursday.

At a news conference in the northwestern Ontario city, Mr. Carney said the move represents a shift away from importing trains from south of the border.

“For too long, we bought from abroad what we were more than capable of building right here at home. We’re bringing that work back, and we’re turbocharging it,” Mr. Carney said.

The Prime Minister framed the train car announcement as an example of how the federal government is encouraging more domestic manufacturing at a time when its largest trading partner is taking a protectionist turn with waves of new tariffs.

“For the first time in four decades, those cars will be produced and assembled and maintained in our country. Cars that used to be built in the United States will be built right here in Thunder Bay, at Alstom, by the best workers in the world,” he said.

The announcement said design and engineering work for the 313 new cars will take place in Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville, Que., while some manufacturing will also happen in La Pocatière, Que.

Via’s most recent trainsets are from Siemens Canada and were built in Sacramento, Calif. Siemens received a $989-million contract in 2018 to build 32 trainsets for the Quebec-City Windsor corridor. Those trains began to enter service in 2022.

The trains currently operating outside of the Windsor-Quebec City corridor have an average age of 77 years old. The new replacements are scheduled to begin entering service in 2031. They will include sleeper cars, dining cars and cars with panorama views.

In July, the Prime Minister announced $1.6-billion for the production of 45 new locomotives for Via Rail by Switzerland-based Stadler, as well as $357-million for a new assembly and maintenance facility in Montreal.

The new trains announced Thursday will serve Via Rail’s long-distance and remote routes.

Trade tensions between Canada and the United States could escalate next week as Ottawa plans to impose new countertariffs on Tuesday. They are in response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s new 50-per-cent tariffs on about $28-billion worth of Canadian goods.

The President announced those new tariffs after trade negotiations between the two countries collapsed last month.

Senior U.S. officials have said Canada should expect an additional response if the Sept. 8 countertariffs go ahead.

When asked about the state of trade relations with the U.S., Mr. Carney said a deal remains possible provided that the Americans accept Canada’s positions related to protecting the French language, manufacturing and retaining its sovereignty with respect to trade deals with other countries.

“We’re ready to sit down and strike that deal when the Americans are ready,” he said.

Mr. Carney was also asked to respond to recent criticism from U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, who has said he believes Mr. Carney’s team deliberately derailed the negotiations to gain political advantage ahead of October votes on a sovereignty-related referendum question in Alberta and the Quebec provincial election, where the sovereigntist Parti Québécois has been leading in the polls.

Mr. Lutnick has predicted that Canadian negotiators will want to resume talks after those two elections.

Mr. Carney dismissed that analysis.

“I don’t think, with all respect, appointed, unelected, cabinet ministers in the United States are experts on Canadian politics,” Mr. Carney said.

He said talks between the two countries will resume at the appropriate time.

“But the most important thing we can do is not to spend all our time waiting by the phone, waiting for a call ... refreshing on social media to see what’s coming across. No, it’s building. It’s building here,” he said.

Mr. Trump commented on Canada again Thursday on Truth Social.

“It is very good for Canadian Politicians like Prime Minister Carney to make President Donald J. Trump “the enemy,” until their Economy collapses, then it will prove to be very bad for Politics – Worse than anything that has ever happened to a Canadian Politician. Just watch!” he said.

The Prime Minister also said Thursday’s announcement is a show of support for passenger rail in Canada, with traditional trains supporting plans for a new high-speed rail line between Quebec City and Toronto.

A recent report from Alto, the Crown corporation leading the high-speed rail project, said ridership on the existing Via Rail service has declined to 4.4 million passengers a year in 2025 from about eight million in the 1980s.

Via Rail has long said its ability to provide faster and more dependable service is hindered by the fact that it primarily operates on privately-owned tracks where slower-moving freight traffic is prioritized.

Alto estimates that ridership on its planned high-speed rail line, which would operate on new tracks dedicated exclusively to passenger rail, will reach 24 million passengers a year by 2055 and up to 43 million by 2084.

Alto has estimated that the project will cost between $60-billion to $90-billion.

The Globe and Mail reported this week that an internal estimate shows the total cost will be much higher when operational and maintenance expenses are included.

Alto’s regularly stated cost range only accounts for the capital cost of building the line. An internal 2023 draft obtained by The Globe showed operating and maintenance costs over 40 years are projected to be between $62.6-billion and $67-billion. The cost of rolling stock is estimated at around $2-billion over that same period.

The document said the total cost, including capital and operating expenses, over 40 years will be between $148.1-billion and $152.7-billion.

The document also says total revenue over that period will be $105-billion, which would more than fully cover the operational expenses.

Editor’s note: A previous version of this article incorrectly stated that Siemens Canada built 32 passenger cars for Via, after receiving a contract in 2018. Siemens built 32 trainsets.
