Six Trump 9/11 claims debunked ahead of anniversary

TL;DR Summary
A six-point roundup debunks Trump’s 9/11 claims: 40 Wall Street wasn’t the tallest building after the World Trade Center collapse (70 Pine Street held that title); he did not help clean up the site; there is no evidence that thousands of Muslims cheered in Jersey City on 9/11; the Omar video claimed to show her dancing on the anniversary is misdated; he did not predict the attacks in his 2000 book; and the tale of being carried away by firefighters near One Liberty Plaza is not supported by evidence.
