Trump claims firefighters carried him to safety near Ground Zero after 9/11

At a 9/11 anniversary event, Trump said two firefighters lifted him off the ground near Ground Zero and carried him to safety as the area reeled; he later posted on Truth Social that he wasn’t at the World Trade Center on the day of the collapse but shortly thereafter, a timeline White House aides described as reflecting his experience in the chaotic aftermath, though some of his 9/11 recollections have not been independently verified.
